    Delete middle (same)worksheets in many workbooks

    Hi,


    In the attachments is the original format of the workbook, but the sheets are blanco. Did this on purpose, because the info is sensitive.

    Is there a method to delete the middle sheets, 'Totaal1999' and 'Klad1'?

    Is there a VBA code do this in a lot of workbooks, the format of all these books are the same.

    Plus i'll place them in one map if it's necessary.

    See attachment.

    Total1999 and Klad1 are not middle sheets, they are sheets at the end. Are you simply wanting to delete those two specific sheets by name from all workbooks in a given folder?

    What do you mean at 3/4 or something? Did you simply mean 'yes, how to delete Total1999 and Klad1 from all workbooks in a folder'?

    Re: Delete middle (same)worksheets in many workbooks

    Do i have to change something?

    I don't use scripts a lot.

    Because it doesn't work.

    Something to do with the green text?

    Re: Delete middle (same)worksheets in many workbooks

    You should read each line of any macro you're ever going use several times until the logic of what that line does starts to come clear. VBA is not rocket science, anyone who takes the time to read the code, read it again, read the comments in green, it should become clear.

    Yes, once you're fully familiar with the code, you will want to edit the fPATH to your actual filepath, the folder where the files to process will be find. Again, reading this code multiple times should make this stuff jump out at you, even if it's unfamiliar.

    Then you will put this code into a standard code module (Insert > Module from inside the VBEditor) and then run.

    Re: Delete middle (same)worksheets in many workbooks

    I will try.

    Just one question about the path name, should i do it in dutch? Or would it recognize the english name, because the 'location (directory)' is the same..

    Only you know the proper way to fill out the path, it would be the same as you seen when you look at folder paths in Windows Explorer.

    Re: Delete middle (same)worksheets in many workbooks

    How do you come up at these lines of code?

    I know, what looping is etc.

    But still some codes, do you use a manual or something?

    Re: Delete middle (same)worksheets in many workbooks

    No, I've been working on the forum here for years and everything I've learned has come using the builtin macro recorder to get basic ideas, then editing that code down for efficiency and discussing this with others here on the forum. Each macro I've written has taught me more and more until now, like with anything, I have a bag of tricks I use for basic code writing.

    Occasionally someone will post a question that forces me to Google and research and learn something new to be able to help them, so I learn by teaching.

    Re: Delete middle (same)worksheets in many workbooks

    Assuming your path is correct.
    I notice you edited the fNAME filter to "*.xlsx*" which should be fine, though what I had in there originally was better.

    My only guess is that it isn't finding any files to open.

    In the VBEditor put an apostrophe at the start of the Application.ScreenUpdating=False so it looks like this:

    That turns off that line of code for now by turning it into a comment.

    Now press F8 to start to run the macro line by line. As you keep pressing F8 slowly the next line of code will execute. When you pass the fNAME = line of code that gets the first filename, stop and hover your mouse over the word fNAME. Does a filename popup for you to read?
