Deleting Excel workbooks ?

[tiredtoo]

Have a MacBook with Microsoft excel cannot figure out how to delete workbooks. Any help appreciated.
Thank you.

1. On a Windows machine, you just right click on the worksheet tab...

at the bottom, and a context menu comes up. Then hit delete.

2. If you are talking about workbooks, then just delete the file

and start a new workbook. In VBA, We use workbook to distinguish which file to use. Yes a file can contain multiple workbooks, but that is not good in a shared/server environment. So I just use one workbook (that can contain many worksheets) per file.

3. Thanks but neither of these work

cannot find anyway to delete file and right click does nothing

4. In excel, a workbook is a file

With a mac you locate, open, move and delete files via a "Finder" window.

Each workbook (file) in excel may have multiple worksheets. They are all in the one workbook (file). Typically excel displays a row of tabs across the bottom of the excel window. Each worksheets gets a tab. Deleting a worksheet is done from inside excel. Deleting a workbook would be done from a Finder window.
