I offered you the help of my opinion, that sometimes, the cure may be worse
then the illness.

If your goal is to complete a project, then follow my suggestion and do it
manually, so that the cost of the project (to you ... or to the client) does
not become prohibitive (time *is* money).

If, on the other hand, you're just looking to prove a point to someone,that
"it" can be done much easier and/or quicker, then by all means, keep
checking back here until someone does come up with a viable suggestion.

What is that supposed to mean? I'm looking for help to solve a problem

that
I can't figure out for myself, not a critique on how long it should take

me
to do it.

For 40 names, it wouldn't take more then 15 or 20 minutes to do it
manually.<g

I appreciate your help. Let me try to describe it better.

if range("a1")=100 then range("a2:a100").name "Bill"

Then I want the next name to be assigned to the following rows
if range("b1")=125 then range"a101:a226".name"John"

How can I do this so that the new name starts 1 cell after the last name
ends. I have over forty names to do this for. I've been trying for

hours
to
figure it out.

yes, but you need to give us more detail.

if range("a1")=2 then
range("a2:a200").name="Bill"

I have a worksheet that contains up to 4000 rows of data. I want to
assign a
unique name a variable number of rows based on the outcome of a

formula
in
another sheet. Let me try to make it clear: I have the 4000 rows

of
information. I have 50 people that I want to assign the information

in
these
rows to. Based on the varible the frist person has the first 483

rows.
The
second has the next 235 and so on until they are all assigned. Is

this
possible to do in Excel?
