Whats the difference between CONCAT and CONCATENATE?
The newer CONCAT function can reference a range of cells. =CONCATENATE(A1,A2,A3,A4,A5) becomes =CONCAT(A1:A5)
Try
Code:
If Evaluate("isref(WBS_Dictionary!a1)") Then MsgBox "exists"

I cant get this to work in the code I have:

Code:
Sub GetWBSTab()
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    
    Dim Consolidate As Workbook
    Dim BOEBook As Workbook
    Set Consolidate = ThisWorkbook

    BOEFile = Application.GetOpenFilename("Excel files (*.xls*), *.xls*")
    
    If BOEFile <> False Then
        Workbooks.Open (BOEFile)
        Set BOEBook = ActiveWorkbook

        
        'Remove Formulas
        
        If Evaluate("isref(WBS_Dictionary!a1)") Then
            MsgBox "The Selected Workbook does not contain a WBS_Dictionary tab"
            Exit Sub
        Else
        
        ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("WBS_Dictionary").Activate
        Cells.Select
        Selection.Copy
            Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
                :=False, Transpose:=False
            Application.CutCopyMode = False
            
        'Remove Data Validation
        With Selection.Validation
            .Delete
            .Add Type:=xlValidateInputOnly, AlertStyle:=xlValidAlertStop, Operator _
            :=xlBetween
            .IgnoreBlank = True
            .InCellDropdown = True
            .ShowInput = True
            .ShowError = True
        End With
        Selection.ClearComments
        
         'Remove Button
         ActiveSheet.Shapes.Range(Array("CommandButton1")).Select
            Selection.Delete
    
        ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("WBS_Dictionary").Copy Consolidate.Sheets(Consolidate.Sheets.Count)
        End If
   
        
        BOEBook.Close False
        
    Else
    Exit Sub
