IsError Function

Returns a Boolean value indicating whether an expression (expression: Any combination of mathematical or logical operators, constants, functions, and names of fields, controls, and properties that evaluates to a single value. Expressions can perform calculations, manipulate characters, or test data.)> is an error value.

Syntax

IsError(expression)

The required expression argument (argument: A value that provides information to an action, an event, a method, a property, a function, or a procedure.) can be any valid expression.

Remarks

Error values are created by converting real numbers to error values using the CVErr function. The IsError function is used to determine if a numeric expression (numeric expression: Any expression that evaluates to a number. The expression can be any combination of variables, constants, functions, and operators.) represents an error. IsError returns True if the expression argument indicates an error; otherwise, it returns False.

Example

 Note   Examples that follow demonstrate the use of this function in a Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) module. For more information about working with VBA, select Developer Reference in the drop-down list next to Search and enter one or more terms in the search box.

This example uses the IsError function to check if a numeric expression is an error value. The CVErr function is used to return an Error Variant from a user-defined function. Assume UserFunction is a user-defined function procedure that returns an error value; for example, a return value assigned with the statement UserFunction = CVErr(32767), where 32767 is a user-defined number.
Dim ReturnVal, MyCheck
ReturnVal = UserFunction()
MyCheck = ReturnVal    ' Returns True.
