delete alternate column
 

How can I delete every other column (B, D, F.....) in Excel?

delete alternate column
 

Hi Mary

This will delete every second column in your sheet. Take care

marcus

Sub RemCol()

Dim Col As Integer
Col = 2
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For i = Col To 256 Step 2
Cells(1, Col).EntireColumn.Delete
Next i

End Sub

delete alternate column
 

I think that Marcus' code will delete all columns except column 1. You need
to work backwards when deleting columns or rows.

Try this modification

Sub RemCol()

Dim Col As Integer
Col = 2
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For i = 256 To Col Step -2
Cells(1, i).EntireColumn.Delete
Next i

End Sub

one way

Sub test()
Dim lastcol As Long
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = Worksheets("Sheet1")
lastcol = ws.Cells(1, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column
For i = lastcol To 1 Step -1
If i Mod 2 = 0 Then
Columns(i).Delete
End If
Next
End Sub
