Error Object

  • Article
Excel Developer Reference

Represents a spreadsheet error for a range.

Remarks

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.

Be careful not to confuse the Error object with error handling features of Visual Basic.

Example

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.

Visual Basic for Applications 
  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
