Can someone show me how to loop through all of the files in a folder and delete any .xlsx files that have a filename which contains the string 'Demand Data'?
 

Excel Facts

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
No real need to loop:

Code:
shell "cmd /k del ""C:\testing\*demand data*.xlsx""",vbHide

should do the job. Amend folder as required.
