Unlink sheet Without Msg box

I have a detailed P&L report whereby I need to use  VBA macro to cycle through a list of 20 or so elements to create a P&L report for each department. As I am using Quick report, the macro will create a new tab with the new department code, and then go back to the main report and replace the department cell with the next one to run, and do the same until I have a workbook of about 20 tabs of the same format but for different deparments. 

If i maintain the TM1 Quick report links as the macro is running, the REport balloons up to about 40MGB or more.  I am aware that there is an unlink book script which will unlink the entire book without any IBM msg box but what I WANT to do is to unlink each new sheet after the refresh to prevent the file bloat in the first place. 

Right now every time I run the macro ; the 2 msg boxes appear every time the macro starts to unlink the sheet and the user has to click "ok" twice for each tab. that means the user has to click 40 times for the 20 individual tabs. 

IF Unlinkbook is able to work without msg box then I would like the same for Unlink sheet as I can have more than 20 tabs for the macro to unlink  whenever users run the report. I want to avoid file bloat in the system whenever I have multiple users running the same file for their country.

    While this idea has merit, it has not achieved sufficient community support for us to prioritize it.
