Which you didn't mention in your post.

It works, it must be your code somewhere.

"getrange" method

Hello all,
just wish to know is it possible to read excel cells by their name
instead of cell reference.

i.e. instead of using xlsheet.range(A4).value, can i use
xlsheet.range("my_given_name").value
where A4 is named as my_given_name ?
