Macro to delete Hidden Worksheets?

[jkharmer]

Any ideas? It would be great of I could delete all but one of the hidden worksheets. It would be perfect if I could tell the macro not to delete one of the hidden worksheets (called "Test O2 and CO2"), but if that is too difficult, then just one to delete all the hidden sheets would be fine.

Any help would be much appreciated on this one,

James

Please try this on a copy of your workbook.

Sub test()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
For Each ws In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
    If ws.Visible <> True And ws.Name <> "Test O2 and CO2" Then
        ws.Delete
    End If
Next ws
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
End Sub

That is amazing! Thanks ever so much.

Trying to set up my own little business at the mo, and these macros will really help in the reporting template I am trying to put together!

Sorry, just realised that the macro is still deleting the tab I do not want it to delete for some reason. It is now two tabs as well, not one - "Test O2" and "Test CO2". Any ideas on a modification to the code?

Thanks, James

Try

Sub test()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
For Each ws In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
    If ws.Visible <> xlSheetVisible Then
        If ws.Name <> "Test O2" And ws.Name <> "Test CO2" Then
            ws.Delete
        End If
    End If
Next ws
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
End Sub

Sorry VoG, still not working for some reason! Any other ideas, please?

I created a workbook containing several hidden sheets and ran the macro. It deleted every hidden sheet except for Test O2 and Test CO2 so I'm at a loss to understand why it didn't work for you. Sorry.

Hi again VOG,

I will try to do the same in a new workbook - does it matter where I put the macro (it is not sitting in a module, but in one of my worksheet tabs (called "tests").

That's probably why it isn't working

Press ALT + F11 to open the Visual Basic Editor, Insert > Module and paste in the code. Then close the VBE and please try again. It should work with your existing workbook.

Thanks,

Will give that a go. Jim
