I am trying to create a macro that will delete a cell content and
related tab by picking the cell. i.e. We have bunch of names in column
A starting at A2 in tab "Roster". Each name in "Roster" has
its own respected Tab. The macro or Code once activated will have the
user to pick the cell that has the name to be deleted, clears the
content, but before clearing will capture the name in a variable that
will be used to find the respected tab and delete the tab as well.
Any help on this is appreciated.

Dim cell as range

cell = Application.Inputbox("Select cell using mouse2, Type:=8)

On Error Resume Next
Application.Displayalerts = False
Worksheets(cell.Resize(1,10.Value).delete
Application.Displayalerts = True
On Error Goto 0

cell.ClearContents

One way:

Dim rResult As Range
Do
Set rResult = Application.InputBox( _
Prompt:="Select cell to clear: ", _
Title:="Clear cell and delete sheet", _
Type:=8)
If rResult Is Nothing Then Exit Sub 'User cancelled
Loop Until Not Intersect(rResult(1), Range("A2:A100")) Is Nothing
On Error Resume Next
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Sheets(rResult(1).Text).Delete
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
On Error GoTo 0
rResult(1).ClearContents

Bob:
Got an error on

This is great this works pritty good, I got to modify the message and
all and all couple of other things to it to make it fit the situation,
One thing is that how would you expand on this code and capture the
content and use it to delete the respected tab which has the same name
as the cell content that we are just abt to delete.

Great it works and no error on cancel.
I have two questions and a request.
Q1. Dose the variable rResult holds the cell number or content? i.e
A3(#A#3) or the content "Some Text"
Q2. Explain the (1) after rResult. What function dose it serves what
is it doing

Request: Assuming that the cell we are clearing the content
(rResult(1).ClearContents) has more information in front of it C3:BH3
how would one clear those. The confusing part for me is how to capture
the initial cell id and make the related range to clear.
Example:
The user picks Cell A2 that has the content "Some Text" the current
code dose perfect it clears it and deletes the tab that has the "Some
Text". Now visualize there are more related information in cell C3:BH3
that also needs to be cleared.

1) Neither. rResult is an object variable that holds the range/cell
object.

2) It is possible to return a multi-cell range. rRange(1) refers to the
first cell in rRange - or the only cell if rRange consists of only one
cell.

Request:
Add this line after rResult(1).ClearContents

rResult.Offset(1, 2).Resize(1, 58).ClearContents

rResult is a variable that holds a reference to that range.

rResult is an object that has lots of properties. It's more complex than say a
variable declared as a Long (just a whole number).

You can get to the value.

If rResult is a single cell:
Msgbox rResult.value
or its address:
msgbox rResult.address
or lots more things

Put your cursor on "Range" in this line"
Dim rResult as Range
and hit F1 and you'll be taken to VBA's help for Range objects.

rResult(1) will refer to the first cell in that range. The user can select lots
of cells. JE wants to just use the first in his code.

And one of the properties that a range has is .Offset() and another is
..Resize().

rResult(1).offset(0,1)
will stay on the same row (0) and go one column to the right.

rResult(1).offset(0,1).resize(1,59)
will "move" one cell to the right and resize that range to 1 row by 59 columns

So
rResult(1).offset(0,1).resize(1,59).clearcontents
or avoiding the offset()
rResult(1).resize(1,60).clearcontents

(I think that A:BH is 60 columns--check my work before you trust it!)

Watch out for what I wrote. I didn't notice that the data was on two different

You'll want to change that .offset() to come down and move to the right.

First, one of the things JE's suggested code was to clearcontents of the cell
whose worksheet was deleted.

I'd change this line:
rResult(1).ClearContents
to
rResult(1).entirerow.delete
to delete the whole row.

Then there would be no gaps in the data. And any new name could be added to the
bottom of the list.

And I like to use the =hyperlink() worksheet function in an adjacent cell
(another reason to delete the entire row!).

The worksheet function =hyperlink() will react nicely when/if you change the
name of that worksheet.

A lot of things could go wrong with this type of thing. The user could enter
the name of a worksheet that already exists--or could enter an invalid name
(wrong characters like slashes, colons... or too many characters).

I made some assumptions. You'll have to change them if I guessed wrong.

Option Explicit
Sub AddName()
Dim myNewName As String
Dim ActWks As Worksheet
Dim NewWks As Worksheet
Dim DestCell As Range

myNewName = Trim(InputBox(Prompt:="Enter a new name"))
If myNewName = "" Then
Exit Sub
End If

Set ActWks = ActiveSheet

With ActWks
Set DestCell = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0)
End With

Application.ScreenUpdating = False
With Worksheets("template")
.Visible = xlSheetVisible
.Copy after:=Worksheets(Worksheets.Count)
Set NewWks = ActiveSheet
.Visible = xlSheetHidden
End With

On Error Resume Next
NewWks.Name = myNewName
If Err.Number < 0 Then
MsgBox "Error renaming the new sheet from: " _
& NewWks.Name & " to: " & myNewName & vbLf _
& "Could be an invalid name or a sheet" _
& " by that name already exists!" _
& vbLf & vbLf & "Entered Name NOT Used--Worksheet Name Added!!!"
Err.Clear
End If

'put the name entered so the hyperlink works?????
DestCell.Value = NewWks.Name
DestCell.Offset(0, 1).Formula _
= "=HYPERLINK(""#""&CELL(""address"",INDIRECT(""'""& " _
& DestCell.Address(0, 0) & "&""'!A1"")),""Click Me"")"

ActWks.Activate

Application.ScreenUpdating = True

End Sub

I really appreciate your help on this, Like I said I am not a
programmer, So I am using this project to learn a bit and at the same
time help my son's school in gathering data, please allow some time for
me to munch on what you have said and wrote so I can digest, There are
dependencies between couple of tabs so I am not sure that if I delete
the row that would mess things up in other places. As a programmer I
would love to get your opinion of what I have done so far, can take
this on off line and e-mail you my spread sheet so you can see the
scope and sort of give me some tips............ if not I understand.

One thing is that how would you expand on this code and capture the
content and use it to delete the respected tab which has the same name
as the cell content that we are just abt to delete.

I am trying to create a macro that will delete a cell content and

A starting at A2 in tab "Roster". Each name in "Roster" has
its own respected Tab. The macro or Code once activated will have the
user to pick the cell that has the name to be deleted, clears the
content, but before clearing will capture the name in a variable that
will be used to find the respected tab and delete the tab as well.
Any help on this is appreciated.

If you have specific questions, it's better to post in the newsgroups.

But I don't like opening workbooks from others.

Sorry.

the row that would mess things up in other places. As a programmer I

First, one of the things JE's suggested code was to clearcontents of the cell
whose worksheet was deleted.

I'd change this line:
rResult(1).ClearContents
to
rResult(1).entirerow.delete
to delete the whole row.

Then there would be no gaps in the data. And any new name could be added to the
bottom of the list.

And I like to use the =hyperlink() worksheet function in an adjacent cell
(another reason to delete the entire row!).

The worksheet function =hyperlink() will react nicely when/if you change the
name of that worksheet.

A lot of things could go wrong with this type of thing. The user could enter
the name of a worksheet that already exists--or could enter an invalid name
(wrong characters like slashes, colons... or too many characters).

I made some assumptions. You'll have to change them if I guessed wrong.

Option Explicit
Sub AddName()
Dim myNewName As String
Dim ActWks As Worksheet
Dim NewWks As Worksheet
Dim DestCell As Range

myNewName = Trim(InputBox(Prompt:="Enter a new name"))
If myNewName = "" Then
Exit Sub
End If

Set ActWks = ActiveSheet

With ActWks
Set DestCell = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0)
End With

Application.ScreenUpdating = False
With Worksheets("template")
.Visible = xlSheetVisible
.Copy after:=Worksheets(Worksheets.Count)
Set NewWks = ActiveSheet
.Visible = xlSheetHidden
End With

On Error Resume Next
NewWks.Name = myNewName
If Err.Number < 0 Then
MsgBox "Error renaming the new sheet from: " _
& NewWks.Name & " to: " & myNewName & vbLf _
& "Could be an invalid name or a sheet" _
& " by that name already exists!" _
& vbLf & vbLf & "Entered Name NOT Used--Worksheet Name Added!!!"
Err.Clear
End If

'put the name entered so the hyperlink works?????
DestCell.Value = NewWks.Name
DestCell.Offset(0, 1).Formula _
= "=HYPERLINK(""#""&CELL(""address"",INDIRECT(""'""& " _
& DestCell.Address(0, 0) & "&""'!A1"")),""Click Me"")"

ActWks.Activate

Application.ScreenUpdating = True

End Sub

I don't want to over extend my welcome, but I also am really looking
for reversal of this code too. What I mean is that if the user wants
to add a student. Now this is a bit tricky. Because lets say in
column A starting at A2 the names start, Assume we have continuous
names in range A2:A20. Now with the help of previous code the user is
able to delete lets say one of the names (A10). Now if we want to add
a name it would be nice to start from bottom where ever that is in this
case A20 come up and find our null(A10) and insert the name there.
Once we insert the name, the macro will create a tab for the inserted
name by copying a hidden tab called "Template" and make a link from the
name to the newly created tab. I probably can peace mill the copying
and linking, but I am stump on the finding the null, and what if there
is no gap I assume there is an else in there to make it go to the
bottom of the list.

You'll want to change that .offset() to come down and move to the right.

rResult is a variable that holds a reference to that range.

rResult is an object that has lots of properties. It's more complex than say a
variable declared as a Long (just a whole number).

You can get to the value.

If rResult is a single cell:
Msgbox rResult.value
or its address:
msgbox rResult.address
or lots more things

Put your cursor on "Range" in this line"
Dim rResult as Range
and hit F1 and you'll be taken to VBA's help for Range objects.

rResult(1) will refer to the first cell in that range. The user can select lots
of cells. JE wants to just use the first in his code.

And one of the properties that a range has is .Offset() and another is
.Resize().

rResult(1).offset(0,1)
will stay on the same row (0) and go one column to the right.

rResult(1).offset(0,1).resize(1,59)
will "move" one cell to the right and resize that range to 1 row by 59 columns

So
rResult(1).offset(0,1).resize(1,59).clearcontents
or avoiding the offset()
rResult(1).resize(1,60).clearcontents

(I think that A:BH is 60 columns--check my work before you trust it!)

Great it works and no error on cancel.
I have two questions and a request.
Q1. Dose the variable rResult holds the cell number or content? i.e
A3(#A#3) or the content "Some Text"
Q2. Explain the (1) after rResult. What function dose it serves what
is it doing

Request: Assuming that the cell we are clearing the content
(rResult(1).ClearContents) has more information in front of it C3:BH3
how would one clear those. The confusing part for me is how to capture
the initial cell id and make the related range to clear.
Example:
The user picks Cell A2 that has the content "Some Text" the current
code dose perfect it clears it and deletes the tab that has the "Some
Text". Now visualize there are more related information in cell C3:BH3
that also needs to be cleared.
