Some versions of Excel and VBA support `Try...Catch` blocks for structured exception handling. Code within the `Try` block is executed. If an error occurs, the execution jumps to the `Catch` block. This block allows you to gracefully handle the error (e.g., log it, display a message) and potentially continue execution. This is an alternative to `On Error` statements providing better organization, especially for more complex error scenarios. Remember that older versions might not support it.
