Trapping error with dynamic range
I have a dynamic range on my worksheet that expands (or contracts) to include
the data in a column. I have VBA code that utilizes this dynamic range. But if there is no data in the column, the code generates an error ... apparently there is no range object at all in this case. Other than general error trapping methods, is there a more direct way to test whether the dynamic range exists? |

Hi Arthur, Here's one way to do it: Dim rngTest As Range On Error Resume Next Set rngTest = Sheet1.Range("MyDynamicRange") On Error GoTo 0 If Not rngTest Is Nothing Then ''' There is data in the dynamic range.

On Error Resume Next Set rngTest = Sheet1.Range("MyDynamicRange") ' go back to breaking on errors (reset error handling to normal) On Error GoTo 0 -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "ArthurJ" wrote in message ...
