I'm struggling with something that should be oh so easy.

I want to test, using vba, if the formula in a cell references another worksheet (the code later depends on following a reference).

I have so far:

if Sheets("Week 2").range("D17").formula like "='*'!" then
Code here
else
failure code
end if

Ultimately, I want it to be sheets(sheetname).cells(row, col)

Thanks
Chris
 

Excel Facts

Copy formula down without changing references
If you have =SUM(F2:F49) in F50; type Alt+' in F51 to copy =SUM(F2:F49) to F51, leaving the formula in edit mode. Change SUM to COUNT.
Maybe like this

Code:
If Sheets("Week 2").Range("D17").Formula Like "='" & "*" & "'!" Then

Thanks for that.

Just discovered what it was! Should have been like "='*'!*".

Otherwise it's looking for something with JUST a sheet reference.
