I have several tables in an excel sheet. Each having unique table Name. I want to know if a table which has a name "Table123" exist or not in the current sheet.
Could some one help me on this?
Thanks Jeevan

TableExists = False
On Error GoTo Skip
If ActiveSheet.ListObjects("Table123").Name = "Table123" Then TableExists = True
Skip:
On Error GoTo 0
This code will work and avoid loops and errors
Here is an alternative function:
Function TableExistsOnSheet(ws As Worksheet, sTableName As String) As Boolean
TableExistsOnSheet = ws.Evaluate("ISREF(" & sTableName & ")")
End Function
You can list shape collection and compare names like this
Sub callTableExists()
MsgBox tableExists("Table1", "Shapes")
End Sub
Function TableExists(tableName As String, sheetName As String) As Boolean
Dim targetSheet As Worksheet
Set targetSheet = Worksheets(sheetName)
Dim tbl As ListObject
With targetSheet
For Each tbl In .ListObjects
If tbl.Name = tableName Then TableExists = True
Next tbl
End With
End Function
Another option, using a bit lazy approach with error catching:
Public Sub TestMe()
If TableExists("Table1243", ActiveSheet) Then
MsgBox "Table Exists"
Else
MsgBox "Nope!"
End If
End Sub
Public Function TableExists(tableName As String, ws As Worksheet) As Boolean
On Error GoTo TableExists_Error
If ws.ListObjects(tableName).Name = vbNullString Then
End If
TableExists = True
On Error GoTo 0
Exit Function
TableExists_Error:
TableExists = False
End Function
