Error Object [Excel 2003 VBA Language Reference]
Range Errors Error |
Represents a spreadsheet error for a range.
Using the Error object
Use the Item property of the Errors object to return an Error object.
Once an Error object is returned, you can use the Value property, in conjunction with the Errors property to check whether a particular error checking option is enabled.
The following example creates a formula in cell A1 referencing empty cells, and then it uses Item(index), where index identifies the error type, to display a message stating the situation.
Sub CheckEmptyCells()
Dim rngFormula As Range
Set rngFormula = Application.Range("A1")
' Place a formula referencing empty cells.
Range("A1").Formula = "=A2+A3"
Application.ErrorCheckingOptions.EmptyCellReferences = True
' Perform check to see if EmptyCellReferences check is on.
If rngFormula.Errors.Item(xlEmptyCellReferences).Value = True Then
MsgBox "The empty cell references error checking feature is enabled."
Else
MsgBox "The empty cell references error checking feature is not on."
End If
End Sub
Note Be careful not to confuse the Error object with error handling features of Visual Basic.
