Hope this helps...
Hi Thirumala,
thanks a lot, it works with "SET objExcelDoc = objExcelApp.Workbooks.Open("C:\temp\Test.xlsx")"
Do you know how i can delete all workbooks in the excel sheet before i export the new data?
Regards,
Erdal
Happy to hear that it is working,...
Regarding deleting sheets in a workbook, I think the below code should help...
After the below line:
Set objExcelDoc = xlApp.Workbooks.Add 'open new workbook
Add the below two lines of code
vSheetsCount = 0
Call RemoveDefaultSheets(objExcelDoc)
Now add the below procedure:
'Remove Sheets (default Sheets) from Excel Workbook
Sub RemoveDefaultSheets(objExcelDoc)
Do
vSheetsCount = objExcelDoc.Sheets.Count
If vSheetsCount = 1 then
Exit Do
Else
objExcelDoc.Sheets(vSheetsCount).Select
objExcelDoc.ActiveSheet.Delete
End If
Loop
End Sub
Please close the thread if you are ok with the answer.
Hi Thirumala,
ok thanks i will check this in a few days.

Erdal
Hello guys,
I tested that function and works well, but I have a question.
How can I clean a range data of many sheets into an specific xls file.
I need a function to take the document and after that, clean range (A4:AAI1048576) in order to put the new data in the same sheet but clean.
Thank you very much.
