Workaround to define an array of constants?
Hi,
I've written a VBA code which, as an output, adds many sheets to the current workbook. Before running the code, I'd like to delete all old sheets in the workbook, save for the worksheets which the user needs to provide input to the code. So I wrote the following snippet: Sub DeleteOutputSheets() Dim sht As Object ' Delete old sheets TODO For Each sht In Sheets If sht.name < "Options" And sht.name < "xPlot" Then 'Delete worksheet if it exists On Error Resume Next Application.DisplayAlerts = False Sheets(sht.name).Delete On Error GoTo 0 End If Next Set sht = Nothing ' TODO End Sub Questions follow: 1. Would you have coded the thing in the same way, e.g. using a For... Each construct and an If , or do you think there's something quicker/ more robust/etc.? 2. I hardcoded the name of the sheets which must be deleted, which I reckon Is Not A Good Thing. I'd like to pass an array of strings InputSheets to the subroutine which contains the name of the sheets to be spared from deletion (would it be better to pass a collection containing the sheets?). However, the sheets are always the same, so I'd like to define InputSheets as a Const in the declaration section of the module. Alas, that's not possible because Const arrays are not allowed. What do you suggest? Do I declare InputSheets as a Const and then I allocate the names in a routine which must be launched at the very start of the code? Thanks in advance for your help and feel free to add comments/ suggestions/questions on coding style, structure, etc. if you have any. Best Regards deltaquattro |
