To delete a column using VBA, you can use the Delete method of the Range object. Here’s an example code:
Sub DeleteColumn()
Dim col As Integer
col = 2 ' change this to the column number you want to delete
Columns(col).Delete
End Sub
In this example, I’m deleting column 2 (B). You can change the value of col to the number of the column you want to delete.
Vba delete columns by number
To delete columns by number using VBA, you can use a loop to iterate through the range of column numbers you want to delete and call the Delete method on each one. Here’s an example code:
Sub DeleteColumnsByNumber()
Dim startCol As Integer
Dim endCol As Integer
startCol = 2 ' change this to the first column number you want to delete
endCol = 4 ' change this to the last column number you want to delete
For i = endCol To startCol Step -1
Columns(i).Delete
Next i
End Sub
In this example, I’m deleting columns 2, 3, and 4 (B, C, D). You can change the values of startCol and endCol to the first and last column numbers you want to delete, respectively.
Note that I’m iterating from endCol to startCol in reverse order so that the column indexes don’t change as we delete them.
excel vba delete multiple columns by number
To delete multiple columns by number using VBA, you can use an array to store the column numbers and loop through them to call the Delete method on each one. Here’s an example code:
Sub DeleteMultipleColumnsByNumber()
Dim colsToDelete As Variant
colsToDelete = Array(2, 4, 6) ' change this to the column numbers you want to delete
Dim i As Integer
For i = UBound(colsToDelete) To LBound(colsToDelete) Step -1
Columns(colsToDelete(i)).Delete
Next i
End Sub
In this example, I’m deleting columns 2, 4, and 6 (B, D, F). You can change the values in the colsToDelete array to the column numbers you want to delete.
Note that I’m iterating from the upper bound of the array to the lower bound in reverse order so that the column indexes don’t change as we delete them.
Vba delete columns based on header
To delete columns based on header using VBA, you can first find the column number of the header text using the Match function, and then call the Delete method on that column. Here’s an example code:
Sub DeleteColumnsByHeader()
Dim headerText As String
headerText = "Header1" ' change this to the header text you want to search for
Dim headerRange As Range
Set headerRange = Rows(1).Find(headerText, LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:=xlWhole)
If Not headerRange Is Nothing Then
Dim colToDelete As Integer
colToDelete = headerRange.Column
Columns(colToDelete).Delete
End If
End Sub
In this example, I’m searching for the header text “Header1” in the first row of the worksheet.
If the header is found, its column number is stored in the colToDelete variable and the respective column is deleted using the Delete method.
You can change the value of headerText to the header text you want to search for. Note that the LookIn parameter of the Find method specifies whether to search in the values or formulas of cells, and the LookAt parameter specifies whether to match the entire cell contents or just part of it.
Vba delete multiple columns based on header
To delete multiple columns based on header using VBA, you can first find the column numbers of the header texts using the Match function and store them in an array. Then, you can loop through the array to call the Delete method on each column. Here’s an example code:
Sub DeleteMultipleColumnsByHeader()
Dim headersToDelete As Variant
headersToDelete = Array("Header1", "Header3", "Header5") ' change this to the header texts you want to search for
Dim colNumsToDelete() As Integer
ReDim colNumsToDelete(LBound(headersToDelete) To UBound(headersToDelete))
Dim i As Integer
For i = LBound(headersToDelete) To UBound(headersToDelete)
Dim headerRange As Range
Set headerRange = Rows(1).Find(headersToDelete(i), LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:=xlWhole)
If Not headerRange Is Nothing Then
colNumsToDelete(i) = headerRange.Column
End If
Next i
For i = UBound(colNumsToDelete) To LBound(colNumsToDelete) Step -1
If colNumsToDelete(i) > 0 Then
Columns(colNumsToDelete(i)).Delete
End If
Next i
End Sub
In this example, I’m searching for the header texts “Header1”, “Header3”, and “Header5” in the first row of the worksheet.
If a header is found, its column number is stored in the colNumsToDelete array at the corresponding index.
Then, I’m looping through the array in reverse order and delete the columns by their respective column numbers using the Delete method.
Note that I’m checking whether the column number is greater than 0 before calling the Delete method, which ensures that only columns with valid header matches are deleted.
Vba delete column shift left
To delete a column and shift the remaining columns to the left using VBA, you can use the Delete method of the Range object with the Shift parameter set to xlToLeft. Here’s an example code:
Sub DeleteColumnShiftLeft()
Dim col As Integer
col = 2 ' change this to the column number you want to delete
Columns(col).Delete Shift:=xlToLeft
End Sub
In this example, I’m deleting column 2 (B) and shifting the remaining columns to the left. You can change the value of col to the number of the column you want to delete.
Note that if you don’t specify the Shift parameter or set it to xlShiftDefault, Excel will prompt you with a dialog box asking how you want to shift the cells.
Vba delete columns by name
To delete columns by name using VBA, you can first find the column letter of the header text using the Match function and then call the Delete method on that column. Here’s an example code:
Sub DeleteColumnsByName()
Dim headerText As String
headerText = "Column2" ' change this to the header text you want to search for
Dim headerColumn As Range
Set headerColumn = Rows(1).Find(headerText)
If Not headerColumn Is Nothing Then
Dim colToDelete As Integer
colToDelete = headerColumn.Column
Columns(colToDelete).Delete
End If
End Sub
In this example, I’m searching for the header text “Column2” in the first row of the worksheet. If the header is found, its column number is stored in the colToDelete variable and the respective column is deleted using the Delete method.
You can change the value of headerText to the header text you want to search for.
Note that the default behavior of the Find method is to match any part of the cell contents, so you don’t need to specify the LookAt parameter.
Vba delete multiple columns by name
To delete multiple columns in Excel VBA by name, you can use the following code:
Sub DeleteMultipleColumnsByName()
Dim colNames As Variant
Dim colName As Variant
'Specify the column names you want to delete
colNames = Array("Column1", "Column2", "Column3")
'Loop through each column name and delete if it exists
For Each colName In colNames
If WorksheetFunction.CountIf(Rows(1), colName) > 0 Then
Columns(colName).Delete
End If
Next colName
End Sub
In this code, you first specify the column names you want to delete by setting the colNames variable to an array of strings containing the column names.
Then, you loop through each column name and check if it exists in the first row of the worksheet using the CountIf function. If it does, then you delete the column using the Delete method on the Columns object.
Note that this code assumes that the column names are in the first row of the worksheet. If the column names are in a different row, you will need to modify the code accordingly.
Vba delete table column by name
To delete a column in an Excel table in VBA by name, you can use the following code:
Sub DeleteTableColumnByName()
Dim tbl As ListObject
Dim colName As String
'Specify the table and column name you want to delete
Set tbl = Worksheets("Sheet1").ListObjects("Table1")
colName = "Column2"
'Get the index of the column name in the table
colIndex = tbl.ListColumns(colName).Index
'Delete the column if it exists
If Not colIndex Is Nothing Then
tbl.ListColumns(colIndex).Delete
End If
End Sub
In this code, you first specify the table you want to delete a column from by setting the tbl variable to the table’s ListObject.
You also specify the name of the column you want to delete by setting the colName variable.
Next, you use the Index property of the ListColumn object to get the index of the specified column name in the table.
Then, you check if the column index is Nothing, which means the column doesn’t exist in the table. If it does exist, then you delete the column using the Delete method on the ListColumn object.
Note that this code assumes that the table exists on the worksheet named “Sheet1”. You will need to modify the code to use the appropriate worksheet name and table name for your situation.
Vba delete column if cell contains
To delete a column in VBA if a cell contains a certain value or text, you can use the following code:
Sub Delete_Column_If_Cell_Contains()
Dim ColumnToDelete As Long
Dim SearchValue As String
'Set the search value
SearchValue = "text to search for"
'Loop through each column
For ColumnToDelete = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Columns.Count To 1 Step -1
'Check if the entire column contains the search value
If WorksheetFunction.CountIf(Columns(ColumnToDelete), "*" & SearchValue & "*") > 0 Then
'Delete the column if it contains the search value
Columns(ColumnToDelete).EntireColumn.Delete
End If
Next ColumnToDelete
End Sub
Replace “text to search for” with the text that you want to search for.
This code will loop through each column in the active sheet and check if the entire column contains the search value. If it does, the entire column will be deleted.
Excel vba delete column if cell contains value
To delete a column in Excel VBA if a cell contains a certain value, you can use the following code:
Copy CodeSub Delete_Column_If_Cell_Contains_Value()
Dim ColumnToDelete As Long
Dim SearchValue As String
'Set the search value
SearchValue = "value to search for"
'Loop through each column
For ColumnToDelete = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Columns.Count To 1 Step -1
'Check if any cell in the column contains the search value
If Application.WorksheetFunction.CountIf(Columns(ColumnToDelete), SearchValue) > 0 Then
'Delete the column if it contains the search value
Columns(ColumnToDelete).EntireColumn.Delete
End If
Next ColumnToDelete
End Sub
Replace “value to search for” with the value that you want to search for.
This code will loop through each column in the active sheet and check if any cell in the column contains the search value. If it does, the entire column will be deleted.
Excel vba delete column if cell contains text
To delete a column in Excel VBA if a cell contains a certain text, you can use the following code:
Sub Delete_Column_If_Cell_Contains_Text()
Dim ColumnToDelete As Long
Dim SearchText As String
'Set the search text
SearchText = "text to search for"
'Loop through each column
For ColumnToDelete = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Columns.Count To 1 Step -1
'Check if any cell in the column contains the search text
If InStr(1, Columns(ColumnToDelete).Text, SearchText, vbTextCompare) > 0 Then
'Delete the column if it contains the search text
Columns(ColumnToDelete).EntireColumn.Delete
End If
Next ColumnToDelete
End Sub
Replace “text to search for” with the text that you want to search for. This code will loop through each column in the active sheet and check if any cell in the column contains the search text.
If it does, the entire column will be deleted. Note that this code uses the InStr function to search for the text, which is case-insensitive (due to the vbTextCompare argument).
Vba delete column if cell does not contain
To delete a column in VBA if a cell does not contain a certain value or text, you can use the following code:
Sub Delete_Column_If_Cell_Does_Not_Contain()
Dim ColumnToDelete As Long
Dim SearchValue As String
'Set the search value
SearchValue = "text to search for"
'Loop through each column
For ColumnToDelete = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Columns.Count To 1 Step -1
'Check if the entire column does not contain the search value
If WorksheetFunction.CountIf(Columns(ColumnToDelete), "*" & SearchValue & "*") = 0 Then
'Delete the column if it does not contain the search value
Columns(ColumnToDelete).EntireColumn.Delete
End If
Next ColumnToDelete
End Sub
Replace “text to search for” with the text that you want to search for. This code will loop through each column in the active sheet and check if the entire column does not contain the search value. If it does not, the entire column will be deleted.
Vba delete last column
To delete the last column using VBA in Excel, you can use the following code:
Sub Delete_Last_Column()
Dim LastCol As Long
LastCol = ActiveSheet.Cells(1, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column
Columns(LastCol).Delete
End Sub
This code finds the last used column in the active sheet and then deletes it. You can run this macro by pressing F5 or by assigning it to a button on the ribbon.
Vba remove field from pivot table
To remove a field from a PivotTable using VBA in Excel, you can use the following code:
Sub Remove_Field_From_PivotTable()
Dim pt As PivotTable
Set pt = ActiveSheet.PivotTables(1) 'Change 1 to the index or name of your PivotTable
Dim pf As PivotField
Set pf = pt.PivotFields("FieldName") 'Replace FieldName with the name of the field you want to remove
pf.Orientation = xlHidden
End Sub
This code gets the PivotTable object on the active sheet (you may need to modify this line to get the correct PivotTable), then gets the PivotField object for the specified field name.
Finally, it sets the PivotField’s orientation to xlHidden, which removes it from the PivotTable.
You can run this macro by pressing F5 or by assigning it to a button on the ribbon.
Excel vba delete column by letter
To delete a column in Excel VBA by letter, you can use the following code:
vbCopy CodeSub DeleteColumnByLetter()
Dim colLetter As String
Dim lastCol As Integer
'Specify the column letter you want to delete
colLetter = "B"
'Get the last column in use
lastCol = Cells.Find(What:="*", SearchDirection:=xlPrevious, SearchOrder:=xlByColumns).Column
'Delete the column if it exists
If InStr(1, Columns(colLetter).Address, "$") > 0 And Range(colLetter & "1").Column <= lastCol Then
Columns(colLetter).Delete
End If
End Sub
In this code, you first specify the column letter you want to delete by setting the colLetter variable. Then, you use the Find method to get the last column in use.
Next, you check if the specified column exists and is within the range of used columns. If it does, then you delete the column using the Delete method on the Columns object.
Note that this code assumes that there is at least one cell with data in the worksheet. If the worksheet is empty, the Find method will return an error.
