Thanks all for your replies.

Doug - I tried your solution and it works. The first name that it picks
up is the entire worksheet itself even though there is no range defined
like that. After I skip that this the program works.

Thanks,
Ashwin

Ashwin,

This assumed that they are all worksheet level names, which is probably not
true. For workbook level names change "ActiveSheet.Names" to
"ActiveWorkbook.Names". Or run it with both if you have a mix.

Ashwin,

Back it up before trying this:

Sub test()
Dim nam As Name
Dim new_range As Range

For Each nam In ActiveSheet.Names
'in case the name doesn't refer to a range
On Error Resume Next
nam.RefersTo = "=" &
nam.RefersToRange.Resize(nam.RefersToRange.Cells.C ount + 1250).Address
On Error GoTo 0
Next nam
End Sub

hth,

Hi,

I have about 25+ named ranges in my excel workbook. All of these ranges
currently end at row 250 and I want to increase this to 1500 for all
ranges. How do I do this programatically?

Any help is deeply appreciated.

Thanks,
Ashwin
