Getting error that view is already on sheet when trying to place views on sheets at a point

My Excel sheet is a perfect match for the sheet number and view name to be placed. I have a sheet with a view on it, so I can use that view to get the viewport box center. I have counted the number of views to be placed and repeated the box center that many times. I removed the view I had put on a sheet from the Excel list so it would not interfere with the program.
I constantly get a message that the “View is already placed” when it certainly is not.

Edit that python script to add a condition to check if view is on sheet before adding it or just try lomg lacing in the custom node package you are using

Can you expand out thr the 3 nodes going into the one with the error.

I do not know python, so that is not an option.

Here you go. I put a watch on them and slid the slider over so you could see the difference in the view name, especially.

A little more work and I am now getting a Null instead of Already on Sheet.

I took off the lacing on the tool below and got “Already on sheet” again instead of Null.

I had a Filter by bool coming from the wrong list. I had to take it back further to the front of the graph for the sheet numbers. Works now.
