The only way I could see this working is if you used a naming convention
that identified which files had charts, and then used a filter on this
value.

You could check to see if that workbook had any charts in it before your code
continued:

Option Explicit
Function hasCharts(wkbk As Workbook)

Dim sh As Object
Dim FoundOne As Boolean

FoundOne = False
For Each sh In wkbk.Sheets
If LCase(TypeName(sh)) = "worksheet" Then
If sh.ChartObjects.Count > 0 Then
FoundOne = True
Exit For
End If
ElseIf LCase(TypeName(sh)) = "chart" Then
FoundOne = True
Exit For
End If
Next sh

hasCharts = FoundOne

End Function


Sub testme01()

If hasCharts(ActiveWorkbook) = False Then
MsgBox "no charts"
Exit Sub
End If

'existing code here

End Sub
