Tracking worksheet names in functions
Hey guys, bit of a puzzler for you:- I am trying to create a formula that is based on worksheet names, such as 'If a worksheet called 'Tuesday' exists then type 1. Is there anyway that worksheet names can be used in this way??

One way, using a User Defined Function:
Public Function SheetExists(sName As String) As Boolean Dim sTemp As String Application.Volatile On Error Resume Next sTemp = Sheets(sName).Name SheetExists = Err = 0 On Error GoTo 0 End Function Call as =IF(SheetExists("Tuesday"),1,"something else") or perhaps =--SheetExists("Tuesday") In article , locutus243 wrote: Hey guys, bit of a puzzler for you:- I am trying to create a formula that is based on worksheet names, such as 'If a worksheet called 'Tuesday' exists then type 1.

Mark,
You would need to use VBA to create a custom function: copy the function below into a regular code module, and use it like so: =IF(ShtExists("Tuesday"),1,0) or =IF(ShtExists("Tuesday"),"Tuesday exists","Tuesday doesn't exist") HTH, Bernie MS Excel MVP Function ShtExists(myName As String) As Boolean Dim mySht As Worksheet ShtExists = False For Each mySht In Application.Caller.Parent.Parent.Worksheets If mySht.Name = myName Then ShtExists = True Exit Function End If Next mySht End Function "locutus243" wrote in message ...

Dave,
Much better solution. But why not just? =IF(ISERROR(INDIRECT("'Tuesday'!a1")),0,1) HTH, Bernie MS Excel MVP "Dave Peterson" wrote in message ... =IF(ISERROR(CELL("address",INDIRECT("'tuesday'!a1" ))),0,1) or if Tuesday were in A1: =IF(ISERROR(CELL("address",INDIRECT("'"&A1&"'!a1") )),0,1) locutus243 wrote: Hey guys, bit of a puzzler for you:- I am trying to create a formula that is based on worksheet names, such as 'If a worksheet called 'Tuesday' exists then type 1.

What happens if Tuesday!A1 contains an error?

Very nice. I like this version a bit better, but it's personal taste:
=1-ISERROR(CELL("address",INDIRECT("'tuesday'!a1"))) In article , Dave Peterson wrote: =IF(ISERROR(CELL("address",INDIRECT("'tuesday'!a1" ))),0,1) or if Tuesday were in A1: =IF(ISERROR(CELL("address",INDIRECT("'"&A1&"'!a1") )),0,1) locutus243 wrote: Hey guys, bit of a puzzler for you:- I am trying to create a formula that is based on worksheet names, such as 'If a worksheet called 'Tuesday' exists then type 1.

Ahh! Since my spreadsheets never contain errors, it's only natural that I forgot about that
possibility... ;-) Bernie "Dave Peterson" wrote in message ... What happens if Tuesday!A1 contains an error? Bernie Deitrick wrote: Dave, Much better solution. But why not just? =IF(ISERROR(INDIRECT("'Tuesday'!a1")),0,1) HTH, Bernie MS Excel MVP |

I liked it when I stole it from Harlan Grove.
