How do I delete several columns if the sum of the column is 0

Very Slick and compact !  Exactly what I needed.  I am still struggling a little bit with the object model, thus the reason for my next question.  Why is it Application.Sum ?

Excellent solution.  I had researched my question on the web for a while as I always like to try it on my own, but all the solutions I saw were for deleting rows.  I like how this solution is low overhead and of course answers my question.

I could have used Application.WorksheetFunction.Sum instead--and you might have found that approach in Microsoft's help. But I have observed run-time errors with certain worksheet functions (such as MATCH) if they return an error value. I can avoid these run-time errors by using Application.Match, and so have adopted that as a standard practice. I apologize if it confused you.

Thanks byundt for the explanation.  High Level what is the difference between the 2 (Application.WorksheetFunction.Sum and Application.Sum) from Excel's brain perspective.  Sorry if this is digging in the weeds, but it would be great to end my question on this nugget of knowledge.  thanks !

Both approaches use Excel's SUM function to return a result.

Application.WorksheetFunction.Sum (or WorksheetFunction.Sum without the preceding Application) will give you a bit of IntelliSense regarding the required parameters. Application.Sum expects you to know those parameters.

Application.Sum will avoid a run-time error should the values being summed contain an error value. I've been bitten by the run-time error on a number of occasions when using Application.WorksheetFunction.name of function because the WorksheetFunction property of the Application object cannot equal an error value. For this reason, I always use Application.name of function instead.

Excellent..thank you byundt
