Test/Check If Shape Exists On Worksheet
I'm creating a macro to select, modify dimensions and place shapes on a excel sheet. (I'm talking about pictures insered and stocked in a specific sheet of my workbook)
When the users insert a new picture he has to set a name for each of them.
A combobox contain the choices, when an item is selected, the macro identify, size and place the corresponding picture.
But I have a bug if a shape doesn't exist when I try to select it :
Sheets("fiche de controle").Select
'select the sheet with the pictures
ActiveSheet.Shapes(Item_old).Select
'select the shapes "Item_Old"
Item_Old is a variable corresponding to the picture name.
If the user made a typo, I have a bug.
Someone knows how to test if the shapes exist to display a meesage if not ?
Or somethig to avoid this kind of bug ?

Conditional Check To See If A Worksheet Exists
I am writing a macro which first needs to look and see if a certain worksheet exists. If it doesn't then I want it to create it but if it does I first want it to delete the sheet then create a blank one with the same name. At trhe moment I have this but it is scrappy and doesn't work very well: On Error Goto AddSheet If Sheets("MONEYSHEET").Activate Then Goto Data AddSheet: Sheets.Add before:=Sheets("LOOKUPSHEET") ActiveSheet.Name = "MONEYSHEET" Data: It also does not delete the sheet if it already exists, just edits the existing one.

Check If Value Exists In Range For Worksheet Filtering
I'm looking to use the value from a series of dropdowns (made via data validation lists). Cell AM5 is a dropdown of named ranges made form a seperate sheet Cell AO5 is a dropdown that uses '=INDIRECT(AM5) to lookup the values in the named range. I need cell AO5's value to be used to filter rows in the current worksheet. The current problem is when i use the first dropdown in AM5 it still displays the last value, untill i use the dropdown to select a new one. This value typically will not be found and i do not want my code to execute in these cases.

Test If Sheet Exists ..
After going though the archives, I could not find how to test for an entry that does not have a sheet to be pasted into. I have a series of worksheets with the month-year for tab labels. The format for these tab labels is ("mmm-yy"). My code will place the new entry into the first available row of the sheet with the same month-year as the entry. I can enter any item with any date in any order and as long as there is a sheet with the same month-year, the entry will be placed into the correct sheet. Temporarily, when I need to add a new month, I click on a CommandButton that uses this code (located in a general module) to make the new sheet: Public Sub AddNextSheet() ...

Sheet Exists Test Not Working
Got most of this code from the web and I can't get it to work. The part I added was the array and loop bit. As a test I specifically renamed one of the sheets in the file to be something NOT in the array, but it still goes through like it exists (I.e. shexist=True). What did I miss? Dim wsname As String, shexist As Boolean myarray = Array("Statement of Values", "Vehicle", "Driver Info.", "Revenues by Discipline", "Revenues Geographically", "Employee-Payroll Info. CDN & US", "U.S. Payroll", "Employee-Payroll Info. FOREIGN") For i = 0 To WorksheetFunction.CountA(myarray) - 1 shexist = False On Error Resume Next wsname = myarray(i) shexist = CBool(Len(ActiveWorkbook.Sheets.Item(wsname).Name)) On Error GoTo 0 If shexist = False Then MsgBox "The worksheet '" & wsname & "' does not exist in this file or has been renamed." & _ vbCr & "Please check the file and try again.", vbExclamation, "Consolidate" GoTo THEEND End If Next i

Test If Named Range Exists
Is there a way to check if a named range exists before I run a piece of code? I created a new file that has need for all the old file's ranges plus a couple more, and I want to use the same macro for both. So on the first file I just want to say, if these other named ranges are there, go ahead and do his other thing.

Check If Sheet Exists

ScreenUpdating = False If ActiveCell.Column <> 1 Then MsgBox "Go to column A to before inserting a row" Exit Sub End If The problem I have is I can't figure out how to incorporate error checking if the sheet already exists. What I would like is a message stating that the sheet exists and allow the user to make required changes on the userform.

Formula: Look/Check If Value Exists
I got a pivot table that when selected will give me a value (actually its an ID number) I want in H3. I then got a list of values outside of the pivot table in column J. If H3 matched any of the values in column J, I need a “Warning”, if not “OK”. I have been using the formula =IF(H3=J3,"OK","WARNING") to match selected cells (H3 with J3) but cant get it to work to look down the column list. The OK or Warning is in cell F34 out of arms way!

Check If An Entry Exists In A Woksheet
I have a huge database consisting of zipped file names which i created by importing the directory listing into excel. The zipped files contain two files each an mp3 and a correspondent cdg file (karaoke files). I continue to add new disks (as I acquire them) to my collection. the trouble is that new disks have some songs already in my collection and I do not want to waste space in hard drive with duplicates. The existing data is arranged in a worksheet by columns as follows: Discnumber | track number| artist | song name | path | complete file name what I would like to do is to check the ** listing after import it to excel in the same format (i can do this part ) and then check it against the 10,000 plus entries that i have if the artist-song name combination already exists in the data. If so return the row in a separate worksheet or pivot table so that i can check it. this way I would only save the songs I do not have in my hard drive thus avoiding duplicates and saving precious space.

Code To Check If ADODB Exists
I have some code that will Kill a DB if it already exists, but I want to check if it exists and warn the user before this happens. I am not that familiar with ADO, so I was fumbling through the Help topics trying to learn about ADO type names, etc. b/c i thought I could use something like: If TypeName(MyDB) = "ADODB" Then . . . but even if that ran, the argument in parentheses would be a string and not the actual DB object, so I am at a loss.

Check Workbook Exists Before Opening
I know this is my third thread, but I have made sure that I have trawled through other threads before posting. I have created some VBA to collect data from multiple workbooks and paste them into one workbook, Basically the copy and paste script runs according to how many tabs are in the summary workbook because each tab ( sheet) is essentially a condensed version of a workbook. Unfortunately some workbooks I am getting the info from don't have the right data that the copy and paste program is looking for or sometimes the document doesn't exist, is there anyway of telling my VBA to pass this tab if the document doesn't exist instead of throwing up a VBA debug error?

Check If Directory Exists Before Save
I am looking to see if a directory exists, and if it does, to save a file in it, otherwise create it, then save the file. My IsFileThere function works fine on files, but does not detect directories. The len(Dir(Filename)) statement always returns a 0, with the Dir statement always simply populating with "". It works fine on filenames - so can anyone tell me why it does not pick up directories? Shouldn't the Dir function on a directory name return "."? I have excerpted some of my code to include here: Global Const StoredJobsSubdirectory = "Jobs" Dim AppPath As String: AppPath = ActiveWorkbook.Path 'other code in here - activeworkbook changed, hence previous line If IsFileThere(AppPath & "" & StoredJobsSubdirectory) Then ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs FileName:=AppPath & "" & StoredJobsSubdirectory & _ "" & NameString & ".xls" Else MkDir AppPath & "" & StoredJobsSubdirectory ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs FileName:=AppPath & "" & StoredJobsSubdirectory & _ "" & NameString & ".xls" End If............................

How To Check Whether A Text Exists In A Group Of Cells

I've tried lupike this, but it doesn't seem to work properly. =IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(C1;$A$2:$A$200));"WAS FOUND"; "NOT FOUND") I guess one solution could have been using concatenate function, but why on earth can't I use the function like this: concatenate(A1:A5)?

Add Shape (Arrow) To Worksheet
This one has me baffled: I recorded a macro to add a shape to a worksheet, very simple. When I try and run it it comes up with a "The specified value is out of range" error. I've searched the net and it seems to come up where the file has been converted from an earlier version of excel (which this file has) but I haven't been able to find a work around for it. The relevant code is With ActiveSheet .Shapes.AddShape(msoShapeLeftArrow, 205.5, 312#, 144#, 23.25).Select End With

Determine Position Of Shape/Button On Worksheet
I have written a small piece of code that handles clicks on buttons on an excel spread sheet. When a button is pressed, i need to know the row number where the button resides in. I have searched and read about this issue on several forums, and they all indicate that i need to use something like application.caller.topleftcell.row to get the row number and application.caller.topleftcell.column to get the column number. However, when i use the row variant, it ALWAYS returns row number 1. When i use the column variant, it returns the column number it is actually in. i have added the full code that is creating the buttons below, and also the part that displayes the rownumber that is incorrect. Private Sub Workbook_Open() Dim name Dim time As Integer time = InputBox("Typ the hour you are checking" & vbCrLf & "eg: 7, 10, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19", "Which Check")

Change/Modify/Add Text In Shape On Non-Active Worksheet
I have a button on say, sheet1 with text that I want to change after a certain action takes place; however, I was trying to change this text without switching sheets. (switching sheets isn't a big deal, I'm mainly trying to do it my way for the practice). I'm able to select the button on the other sheet without actually switching sheets, but when it comes to changing it's text I get an error. Here is the code I tried: Sub macro1 () Worksheets("sheet2").Select Worksheets("sheet1").Shapes("Button 2").Select Selection.Characters.Text = "Done" End Sub Problem with this is it gives cell A1 on sheet2 the "done" text. I also tried this...but it gives the error. Sub macro1 () Worksheets("sheet2").Select Worksheets("sheet1").Shapes("Button 1").Select With Worksheets("sheet1").Shapes("Button 1") .Characters.Text = "Done" End With End Sub

Add A New Or Check For A Worksheet
I would like a macro that adds a worksheet with the name say XML_JB to a workbook. I have ran the record button as shown in the code below but when I re-run the Macro the line tries to add the worksheet in Sheets("Sheet5").Select and I get a debug error. I realise the issue is around the fact that the count needs to be set some how as a variable and not set as Sheet 5 as the macro can't find sheet 5. The Macro also needs to check if the worksheet “XML_JB” is there and if so throw up a message like XML_JB already exists Do you want to continue? And if yes skip in adding of the worksheet and run my first macro. But as this is my second macro I don’t know how to go about it?

Check For Same Data In Another Worksheet
A workbook contains two worksheets. The first sheet is a membership list (Mem06) containing adresses and telephone numbers. The second sheet is a list of activity groups (Groups) with members details who are attending. There are 28 activity groups whose venues are scattered over 20 miles, each has a Leader. It is difficult for the Leader to know if those attending are paid up members, we know that some are lapsed. The solution is to get those members attending to complete a form with their name and 1st line of address. The membership secretary enters the names in the Group sheet (1st line of address only required when people have the same First and Surname). We would like a formula to check this entry against the list in Mem06. If the entry corresponds the Telephone number for that entry would be returned to the Group sheet. Col A in both sheets has a formula to Concatenate First Name and Surname. The Telephone number in Mem06 is at Col I. The required formula would be in the Group sheet in the Telephone number col.
