All named ranges don't show up in the name dropdown, but will appear in
Insert=Names=Define. This includes names that are variable in nature such
as this one.

In the name box, type in MyData and hit return. does it select the proper
range?

Now you have what I call a global/local name.

Hi TWIMC,

I'd like to add one name range that works on each sheet. E.g. I set a
named
range called My Data and when I click on it, it selects the A2 to B10
depending on which sheet is active, how do I do it?


TIA
