in my excel file i have three sheets: "merged_20140620","Sheet1","Sheet2"
the name of the first sheet combines name and date and is changed every day.
I want to delete the first two sheets.

Please help me to define the first sheet without the date.

Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Worksheets("merged_").Delete
Worksheets("sheet1").Delete
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
End Sub

Thanks

Maybe this...

Code:
Dim WS as Worksheet

Application.DisplayAlerts = False
For Each WS in Worksheets
  If WS.Name = "Sheet1" Or WS.Name Like "merged_*" Then WS.Delete
Next
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
