Questions:
I want to delete a worksheet if it contains no data/charts/images/drawing/hyperlink object or any other embedded objects.
I find out the solution of detecting and deleting blank sheets if there is no data in the cells by using the following code:-
if ( $Worksheet_Function->CountA( $sheet->{Cells} ) == 0 ) {
$sheet->Delete;
}
but it also deletes the sheet if there are charts or non-text objects.
Is there any way to identify and delete sheets if its completely empty?
How to&Answers:
will delete the sheet if there is only formatting, but this should do what you ask
Sub chksheet()
Dim wks As Worksheet
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
For Each wks In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
If WorksheetFunction.CountA(Cells) = 0 And wks.DrawingObjects.Count = 0 Then
wks.Delete
Else
MsgBox ("has stuff") 'or do nothing here and skip this sheet
End If
Next wks
Set wks = Nothing
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
End Sub
Answer：
You can be more thorough and go through all the related objects you want to test
Option Explicit
Sub test()
Dim WS As Worksheet
For Each WS In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
With WS
'default usedrange = 1 so check cell A1 is also empty
If .UsedRange.Count = 1 And IsEmpty(.Cells(1, 1).Value) _
And .UsedRange.Column = 1 _
And .UsedRange.Row = 1 _
And .Comments.Count = 0 _
And .Shapes.Count = 0 _
And .Hyperlinks.Count = 0 _
And .ListObjects.Count = 0 _
And .OLEObjects.Count = 0 _
And .Names.Count = 0 _
And .QueryTables.Count = 0 _
And .SmartTags.Count = 0 Then
MsgBox ("BLANK")
'WS.delete
Else
MsgBox ("NOT BLANK")
End If
End With
Next WS
End Sub
