Hello. I would like delete a button if it exists. I cannot find the syntax that allows for the case where it doesn't exist. I would like something like

VBA Code:
If “CommandButton1” Exists Then
ActiveSheet.Shapes(“CommandButton1”).Delete
End If

I'm not sure how to write the condition. The Delete part works, but if the button does not exist I get an error because the button to delete cannot be found (which makes sense but I'd like to avoid this for the end user).

Can you AutoAverage in Excel?
There is a drop-down next to the AutoSum symbol. Open the drop-down to choose AVERAGE, COUNT, MAX, or MIN
How about
VBA Code:
On Error Resume Next
ActiveSheet.Shapes("CommandButton1").Delete
On Error GoTo 0
