    Unable to delete tabs

    I am unable to delete tabs in an existing spreadsheet. All of the abilities are grayed out when I right click on the tab except for view code, protect sheet, and select all sheets. All tabs are unprotected. I tried the solution at this link http://www.excelforum.com/excel-gene...lete-tabs.html but it did not work. Any other ideas?
    Thanks!!

    Re: Unable to delete tabs

    Have you tried unprotecting the workbook?
    let Source = #table({"Question","Thread", "User"},{{"Answered","Mark Solved", "Add Reputation"}}) in Source

    If I give you Power Query (Get & Transform Data) code, and you don't know what to do with it, then CLICK HERE

    I have unprotected all the tabs, is there a way to unprotect the workbook as a whole?
    Thanks.

    Yes. On the Review ribbon, you have (Un)Protect Workbook and (Un)Protect Worksheet commands...

    Re: Unable to delete tabs

    That fixed it. The structure was still protected. Thanks for your help Olly!
