how to check whether a sheet exists or not, while using readtable function

28 views (last 30 days)
rawData = readtable('filepath.xls','Sheet','Data Export')
in the above command, if sheet is not available then its throwing an error.
Error using readtable (line 216)
Sheet name 'Data Export' does not exist or is not supported. To check if the sheet is supported, specify the sheet by its worksheet index.
So i would like to skip this error and proceed further without using 'xlsfinfo'. if possible help me out please.

I don't know if it's any better, but there is https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/sheetnames.html
Otherwise, try/catch might work.
