I create a job to delete an excel sheet with content but failed, while it works when the sheet is empty. How to delete a sheet which is not empty?
Belowing is the job.
static void Job1(Args _args)
{
SysExcelApplication excel;
SysExcelWorkbooks books;
SysExcelWorkbook book;
SysExcelWorksheets sheets;
SysExcelWorksheet sheet;
excel = SysExcelApplication::construct();
books = excel.workbooks();
books.open("f:\\test.xlsx");
book = books.item(1);
sheets = book.worksheets();
sheet = sheets.itemFromNum(2);
sheet.delete();
excel.visible(true);
}

Thanks your reply. It does work!
Yes, the sheet number is correct. The sheet2 is deleted if it is empty. After I set cell "A1" to any string, save the excel and run the job again, the sheet cannot be deleted. The job is totally same.
apologies, I thought you are trying to delete file. its excel sheet you are trying. let me remove my verdict
Hi,
You are trying to delete a sheet with internal number 2. Are you sure this internal number matches your sheet number? Probably you can use the command itemFromName(str _name).
Here you go, it does not matter if its excel or word or any other type of file. a file is a file:
boolean fileExists; dialog d; Filename filename; DialogField dialogFilename; ; d = new dialog(); d.caption("select a file to delete."); dialogFilename = d.addField(extendedTypeStr(FilenameOpen)); d.run(); if(d.closedOk()) { filename = dialogFileName.value(); fileExists = WinAPI::fileExists(filename); if(fileExists) { WinAPI::deleteFile(filename); info("File Deleted!"); } }
I think you need to use excel.displayAlerts(false);
