I want to optimize this code by taking the Sub Parse and fold it into
an IF...THEN statement that will run for only certain spreadsheets
within a workbook. The workbook may contain up to 100 worksheets, not
all of the worksheets will need the Sub Parse run on them. How to I
make this code work Better? It works right now, but I want to optimize
it. Thanks in Advance.

this should do it if you only need to NOT include a couple. More or few use
an array.
for each ws in worksheets
if ws.name<"name1" and ws.name<"name2" then
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
ws.Columns(1).TextToColumns Destination:=Range("A1"), _
DataType:=xlDelimited, Space:=True
end if
next ws

Finally, because I like portable script and can never leave well enough
alone:

Sub Parse()
For Each ws In Worksheets
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
ws.Columns(1).TextToColumns DataType:=xlDelimited, _
ConsecutiveDelimiter:=True, Tab:=False, Semicolon:=False, _
Comma:=False, Space:=True
Next ws
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
i = 1
For Each ws In Worksheets
Sheets("Sheet" & i).Activate
Range(Cells(1, 1), Cells(2, 1)).Select
For Each MyCell In Selection
If MyCell.Value Like "" Then
Columns(1).Delete
End If
Next
i = i + 1
Next ws
End Sub

why not just put a line in the first loop? But, do you really want to delete
col A?

Sub Parse()
For Each ws In Worksheets
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
ws.Columns(1).TextToColumns DataType:=xlDelimited, _
ConsecutiveDelimiter:=True, Tab:=False, Semicolon:=False, _
Comma:=False, Space:=True
if range("a1")="" or range("a2")="" then columns(1).delete
Next ws

You might want to eliminate all the selections:

Public Sub Parse()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
For Each ws In Worksheets
ws.Columns(1).TextToColumns _
DataType:=xlDelimited, _
ConsecutiveDelimiter:=True, _
Tab:=False, _
Semicolon:=False, _
Comma:=False, _
Space:=True
Next ws
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
For Each ws In Worksheets
With ws.Range("A1:A2")
If Application.CountA(.Cells) < 2 Then _
.EntireColumn.Delete
End With
Next ws
End Sub

Should be

If ws.Range("A1")="" Or ws.Range("A2")="" Then ws.Columns(1).Delete

or all deletions will depend on A1:A2 of the active sheet.

Thanks for catching that JE. Could have used WITH
