Estimado, no se si me pueda ayudar. Tengo esta macro precisamente para eliminar hojas vacías, pero no logro hacer que funcione al correrla una sola vez, la tengo que ejecutar dos veces para que borre todas las hojas vacías. Que esta fallando para que haga la tarea de borrar todas las hojas en una sola corrida.

La macro es:

Sub Buscar_Hojas_Vacías_y_Eliminarlas2()

Dim Nhojas As Integer
Dim i As Integer

On Error Resume Next
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.DisplayAlerts = False

Nhojas = Sheets.Count

For i = 1 To Nhojas

If WorksheetFunction.CountA(Sheets(i).UsedRange) = 0 And Sheets(i).Shapes.Count = 0 Then

Sheets(i).Delete

Else
' Nada
End If
Next i

On Error GoTo 0
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Application.DisplayAlerts = True

End Sub

Gracias, espero sus comentarios.

I cannot speak your language but I see a flaw in your code.
The problem is >> Nhojas = Sheets.Count
And then you depend on Nhojas but when you delete a sheet you do not reduce Nhojas by 1

So just add this line to your code after "Sheets(i).Delete" and before "Else":
Nhojas = Nhojas - 1

Done :)

You have done a good job though, but you need to dry run your code when you try and debug the code.
