Hi All,

I have inadvertently, through another piece of code, got a number of files that have 2 named ranges with the same name. I'd like to delete just one of these but not sure how i'd write the code to ensure I was deleting the correct one (the bottom of the 2 below):

Name | Value | Refers To | Scope
CashCompliance1 | 0% | = 'Cash Management'!$C$69 | Cash Management
CashCompliance1 | {…} | ='\\BMIFILES\Teams\Users\sgeoghegan\Desktop\Self Assessments WIP\[Self Assessment Hospital Template.xlsm]Cash Management'!$C$69| Workbook


Apologies for the lack of image.

I have all the loop code etc. to wrap around, and I've seen code for deleting ranges - but nothing specific to identify a range based upon on the "Refers To" section.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Simon
 

Excel Facts

How can you automate Excel?
Press Alt+F11 from Windows Excel to open the Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) editor.
The following macro will loop through each name within the active workbook, and deletes the first name it comes across where "Refers to" starts with "='\\BMIFILES" . . .

Code:
Sub DeleteName()

    Dim nme As Name
    
    For Each nme In ActiveWorkbook.Names
        If Left(nme.RefersTo, 13) = "='\\BMIFILES\" Then
            nme.Delete
            Exit For
        End If
    Next nme
    
End Sub

Hope this helps!
