Hello,

I have an Excel worksheet called "Sheet1" and I am looking for a way to
automatically delete all columns in Sheet1 that are not named "Test1" and
Test2". Can someone assist?

Can you describe what you mean by "columns...not named"? Do you mean
"Defined Names"? Or perhaps header text (in Row 1 I presume)? Or did you use
the word "named" in a general context meaning those text strings as cell
values in some particular (unspecified) column? Or something else entirely?

sub deletecolumns()
dim i as long
for i=cells(1,columns.count).end(xltoleft).column to 1 step -1
if cells(1,i)<"Test1" and cells(1,i)<"Test2" then columns(i).delete
next i
end sub

Don's code suits fine then you can consider following smart code for
speed:

Only I have assumed one thing that your first row does not contain any
error value

With Cells.Rows(1)
.Replace what:="Test*", replacement:="=+na()"
.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeFormulas, xlErrors).EntireColumn.Delete
End With
