Reviewing Named ranges of cells in Excell

Previously when using Excell i have named ranges of cells using the name box to the left of the formula bar. I know there is a window you can bring up to review and edit the ranges you have named but can't remember how to bring it up. Also can you refernce these named ranges in VBA.

RE: Reviewing Named ranges of cells in Excell

Hi Mark

Thanks for your post which we can answer in 2 parts:

If you want to review any existing named ranges then go to the Formulas tab, click the "Name Manager" button. You should now be able to select and edit your named ranges.

As for named ranges in VBA, we do cover this in quite some depth on our 2 day Excel VBA advanced course, if you have not had a chance to review the course content then please click here
Please note that whilst this course works in Excel 2003 version the VBA code is the same.

Hope this helps.

Regards

Jacob

RE: Reviewing Named ranges of cells in Excell

From the worksheet window, using the drop menu's as follows:

Insert/Name/Define

will bring up a pop up window which shows all defined ranges and, at the bottom of the window, the cells to which they refer. New cell references can be overtyped if required.

I have trouble finding this too. The 'Insert' menu does not strike me as an obvious place to find existing range names!

S!

Excel tip:

Colouring cells containing formulas

Cells in a worksheet can contain values or they can contain formulas. You may wish to identify all the cells in your worksheet that contain formulas by colouring those cells.

Follow these steps:
1. Choose Edit > Go To menu, or press either F5 or Ctrl+G. Excel displays the Go To dialog box.
2. Click Special. Excel displays the Go To Special dialog box.
3. Select the Formulas radio button option.
4. Select OK.

At this point, every formula cell in the worksheet is selected, and those cells can be coloured formatted as desired.
