Deleting worksheets from multiple workbooks
Hi, I have approx 100 workbooks all with the same formatting. 3 work sheets in each with the same uniform names. (Alpha, Beta and Omega) I need to delete all the worksheets called Alpha and Beta ...

If all workbooks are in the same folder, with no other workbooks (or if there are other workbooks in the folder, they do not contain sheets named Alpha and Beta), you can use a macro in the desktop version of Excel for Windows or Mac.
Here is a version for Windows:
Sub DeleteAlphaBeta()
Dim strFolder As String
Dim strFile As String
Dim wbk As Workbook
On Error GoTo ErrHandler
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
' Edit the path of the folder. Keep the trailing backslash
strFolder = "C:\Excel\Test\"
strFile = Dir(strFolder & "*.xls*")
Do While strFile <> ""
Set wbk = Workbooks.Open(Filename:=strFolder & strFile)
On Error Resume Next
wbk.Worksheets(Array("Alpha", "Beta")).Delete
On Error GoTo ErrHandler
wbk.Close SaveChanges:=True
strFile = Dir
Loop
ExitHandler:
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Exit Sub
ErrHandler:
MsgBox Err.Description, vbExclamation
Resume ExitHandler
End Sub
