I want to create a range on the active sheet in a workbook
and tried the following code but keep getting an error.
Here is the code:

ActiveWorkbook.Names.Add Name:="Range", RefersToR1C1:="=!
R2C23:R(vlastrow)C24"

I assume I have some type of syntax error.

Since the lastrow in the range will be changing each time
the macro is run, I wanted to use a variable to designate
the last row. Can I do this?

Any help with this issue would be great. Thanks
