Bob,

I just found a catch, if the cell contains a formula that resolves to a
blank the .Range(rng, rng.End(xlDown)).Name still runs to the end of the
cells containing a formula. I am trying to capture only the cells that have a
value other than "", is this possible?

The below code works, but I need to be able to select the sheet first. Is
it
possible to do this with selecting the sheet, which in my case is (Visible
=
False)

Sheets("sheetname").Select
With Workbooks(WorkbookMain).Sheets("sheetname")
.Range("Data_EMCSoftware").Select
.Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select
Selection.name = "Data_EMCSoftwareList"

.Range("Data_SoftwareExclude").Select
.Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select
Selection.name = "Data_SoftwareExludeList"

.Range("Data_SoftwareInclude").Select
.Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select
Selection.name = "Data_SoftwareIncludeList"

End With
