Hi David,

We might be slightly at cross purposes, or perhaps I'm missing something.
Leo's code certainly removes unused custom NumberFormats (on request) from
the list in the workbook. But I don't see how that reduces the number of
[used cell] formats.

Quite rightly, it does not change or remove any cell formatting, or remove
from the list a custom number format even if it has only used in a blank
cell.

Regards,
Peter T

Hi Peter,
Leo's code would reduce the number of formats, because that is exactly
what his code was written for. It eliminates usused formats
and gives you a chance to eliminate others later.

Yes the Beta Google Groups is and has been a disaster since
Nov 2004. You could use the google.uk.co site which not afflicted with
the Beta yet, but that's just part of divide and conquer tactics. To
specifically address being able to see code as posted, you
could look at the "Show original" which they hide in "show options".

Leo's code deletes unused formats, but at the very beginning it
indicates
the number of formats and gives you a choice of whether to
