slicer does not exist

Error message

slicer %s does not exist

What it means

Dynamic error created by newNoExistSlicerError when an operation references a slicer name that is not defined in the workbook. It is raised by DeleteSlicer and TestSlicer: the input at fault is the slicer name argument, which fails a lookup against the workbook's existing slicers. Deleting a non-existent slicer is treated as an error rather than a no-op.

Solutions

1. Check GetSlicers for the existing name before deleting
2. Ensure AddSlicer succeeded before attempting deletion
