    VBA Help, Getting error: 'That name is already taken. Try a different one'

    I'm trying to run a macro and I'm getting an error on the top line of this snippet:

    Sheets.Add.Name = "DigikeyRateVariances"
    Set DKData = ActiveSheet
    myRow = 4
    myCol = 4
    Do Until CADsheet.Cells(2, myCol) = ""
    DKData.Cells(myRow, 1) = CADsheet.Cells(2, myCol)
    myCol = myCol + 1
    myRow = myRow + 1

    The error reads 'That name is already taken. Try a different one' I've tried changing the name of the sheet above in quotation marks but I still get the error, nowhere else in my macro is this sheet referenced which is why I'm confused as to why it would try to create 2 sheets, can anyone help please?

    There is already sheet named "DigikeyRateVariances" when you run the sub.
    For Each Sht In Sheets
    If Sht.Name = "DigikeyRateVariances" Then ShtExists = True
    Next
    
    If Not ShtExists Then Sheets.Add.Name = "DigikeyRateVariances"
    
    Set DKData  Sheets("DigikeyRateVariances")
    I expect the student to do their homework and find all the errrors I leeve in.
