Cell Error Values

You can insert a cell error value into a cell or test the value of a cell for an error value by using the CVErr function. The cell error values can be one of the following xlCVError constants.

ConstantError numberCell error value
xlErrDiv02007#DIV/0!
xlErrNA2042#N/A
xlErrName2029#NAME?
xlErrNull2000#NULL!
xlErrNum2036#NUM!
xlErrRef2023#REF!
xlErrValue2015#VALUE!

Example

This example inserts the seven cell error values into cells A1:A7 on Sheet1.

vb myArray = Array(xlErrDiv0, xlErrNA, xlErrName, xlErrNull, _ xlErrNum, xlErrRef, xlErrValue) For i = 1 To 7 Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells(i, 1).Value = CVErr(myArray(i - 1)) Next i

This example displays a message if the active cell on Sheet1 contains a cell error value. Use this example as a framework for a cell-error-value error handler.

vb Worksheets("Sheet1").Activate If IsError(ActiveCell.Value) Then errval = ActiveCell.Value Select Case errval Case CVErr(xlErrDiv0) MsgBox "#DIV/0! error" Case CVErr(xlErrNA) MsgBox "#N/A error" Case CVErr(xlErrName) MsgBox "#NAME? error" Case CVErr(xlErrNull) MsgBox "#NULL! error" Case CVErr(xlErrNum) MsgBox "#NUM! error" Case CVErr(xlErrRef) MsgBox "#REF! error" Case CVErr(xlErrValue) MsgBox "#VALUE! error" Case Else MsgBox "This should never happen!!" End Select End If
