Is there a way to delete all named ranges from a selection? Here is the selection that I am trying to delete the named ranged from:
Code:
Range("CompOverviewTable[[#Headers],[Competitor_one]]").Select
    Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlToRight)).Offset(-1, 0).Select
 

Excel Facts

Select a hidden cell
Somehide hide payroll data in column G? Press F5. Type G1. Enter. Look in formula bar while you arrow down through G.
Test in a copy of your workbook

Code:
Sub NamedRanges()
[COLOR=#006400]'variables used[/COLOR]
    Dim N As Name, Ws As Worksheet, Rng As Range, Msg As String, Refers As String
    
[COLOR=#006400]'your code to select[/COLOR]
    Range("CompOverviewTable[[#Headers],[Competitor_one]]").Select
    Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlToRight)).Offset(-1, 0).Select

[COLOR=#006400]'delete named ranges which intersect with selection[/COLOR]
    On Error Resume Next
    Set Ws = Selection.Parent
    For Each N In ThisWorkbook.Names
        Refers = N.RefersTo
        If Replace(Split(Refers, "!")(0), "=", "") = Ws.Name Then
            Set Rng = Ws.Range(Split(Refers, "!")(1))
            If Not Intersect(Rng, Selection) Is Nothing Then
                Msg = Msg & vbCr & N.Name & vbTab & Refers
                N.Delete
            End If
        End If
    Next
    If Not Msg = "" Then MsgBox Msg, vbOKCancel, "Deleted ...."
End Sub

Thank you Yongle,

The code ran without any errors but the named ranges did not get deleted

"The code does not work" is a very unhelpful comment on its own :)
- if you want help you need to tell me where it is failing

It works for me
- did you run it from the sheet containing the table?

Sorry about that.

Nothing much happens. I am running the code directly on the page at the moment but I would like it be able to run from a different sheet.

When I run the code, the desired selection is selected but the defined names remain undeleted.

I'm not sure if this makes a difference but the selection that I want all the defined names to delete from is not a table of itself. It is simply just a range of cells

Also,

I figured out my range only needs to be:
Code:
Range("3:3").Select

But I can adjust that in your code

Am I supposed to run this code somewhere specific? Because I have it assigned to an ActiveX Command Button

Perhaps I misunderstood what you want the code to do ..

Your code below selects the ROW above CompOverviewTable starting in cell above header Competitor_one
Code:
    Range("CompOverviewTable[[#Headers],[Competitor_one]]").Select
    Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlToRight)).Offset(-1, 0).Select

What is in those cells
- is it the NAMES of named ranges that should be deleted ?

The actual value in those cells are blank, but those cells have a defined name (range) that I created using the Name Manager. I would like to delete all the defined names in that selection so that all the defined names for those cells go back to the original value

Example:
From "Competitor_one" to "E1";
From "Competitor_two" to "F2"

After the defined names are deleted, they should no longer show up in Name Manager
