OK, got you! Shoulda thought of that myself.
Thanks,

You can with a loop like so

For Each sh In ACtiveworkbook.Worksheets
sh.Range("A1").Name = "'" & sh.Name & "'!cell1"
sh.Range("A2").Name = "'" & sh.Name & "'!cell2"
'etc
Next sh

and you still have the simple referencing I metioned.

Perhaps I'm missing something from your reply but like I said:

There
is
a
lot of cells! So it would be nice to reduce the naming workload by

about
1/12.

Why not create a name of Cell1 for each worksheet, like so

ActiveWorkbook.Names.Add Name:="Sheet3!cell1",
RefersTo:="=Sheet3!R1C1"

and then just address it simply with

?worksheets("Sheet3").range("cell1").value

I'm writing a small program to generate some data each day of

the
month.
Each month is to be a sheet. So same cell locations, different
sheets.
Unfortunately there's lots of cells so it would be nice to use

3D
names.

But I am unable to figure out how to get VBA to select the

specific
cell
on
the sheet for the specific month. I apparently have to name

each
cell
in
each month differently and then, depending upon the month the

data
is
generated for, in the macro change the name of the range I wish

to
write
to.
This rather awkward and not very elegant (to say the least!).

So the problem is: I can insert a name "Cell1" that refers to
January:December!$A$1 (for instance) but how then do I write a

value
(from
the macro) to the "Cell1" in worksheet "April"?

I'm sure it's something easy but I cannot find any references to

help.

Thanks in Advance,
Perry.
