Excel VBA tutorial: Cell error values · Examples
This example inserts seven cell error values into the A1:A7 cell area of Sheet1.


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 checks whether the active cell in Sheet1 contains a cell error value and, if so, displays a message. This example serves as a model structure for error handlers for cell error values.


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
