Which Excel functions can ignore hidden rows?
The SUBTOTAL and AGGREGATE functions ignore hidden rows. AGGREGATE can also exclude error cells and more.
Hi,

Code:
Sub DeleteNames()
Dim Ns    As Name
Const NameStr   As String = "_service"
For Each Ns In ThisWorkbook.Names
    If LCase(Left$(Ns.Name, 8)) = NameStr Then
        Ns.Delete
    End If
Next
End Sub

Hi thanks

i need to actually delete all names beginning with "_Service"

I tried changing code to

Const NameStr As String = "_service"

but i think the LCase function is effecting it?? is it ignoring my uppercase letter?

please help

replace
Code:
If LCase(Left$(Ns.Name, 8)) = NameStr Then

with
Code:
If Left$(Ns.Name, 8) = NameStr Then
