  1. Hi,

    Can this be changed to delete the last row from the table?

    If I change the line

    loTable.ListRows.Add

    to

    loTable.ListRows.Delete

    It returns a runtime error.

    ‘VBA Add New Row to Table
    Sub VBAF1_Add_Row_to_Table()

    ‘Declare Variables
    Dim oSheetName As Worksheet
    Dim sTableName As String
    Dim loTable As ListObject

    ‘Define Variable
    sTableName = “Timesheet_Table”

    ‘Define WorkSheet object
    Set oSheetName = Sheets(“Timesheet”)

    ‘Define Table Object
    Set loTable = oSheetName.ListObjects(sTableName)

    ‘Add New row to the table
    loTable.ListRows.Add

    End Sub
