Luc, I only want to look at local names, in this case. Here is my code
as is, working or so it seems :)

Dim zNm As Name
Dim zNmRng As Range
Dim zNmRngA As Range
Dim zNmRngB As Range

For Each zNm In ActiveSheet.Names ' Iterate through each
element.
On Error Resume Next
Set zNmRngB = zNm.RefersToRange
'zNmRngBAdd = zNmRngB.Address
On Error GoTo 0
If Not zNmRngB Is Nothing Then
Set zNmRngA = Cells.Find(what:="IMP", _
After:=ActiveCell, _
LookIn:=xlValues, _
LookAt:=xlPart, _
SearchOrder:=xlByColumns, _
SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
MatchCase:=False, _
SearchFormat:=False)

If Not zNmRngA Is Nothing Then

'Conditional formating code

Range(zNmRngA).Select
Selection.FormatConditions.Delete
'LCL
Selection.FormatConditions.Add
Type:=xlCellValue, Operator:=xlLess, _
Formula1:="=" &
Selection.End(xlDown).Offset(12, 0).Address
With Selection.FormatConditions(1).Font
.Bold = True
.Italic = False
.Strikethrough = False
End With

Selection.FormatConditions(1).Interior.ColorIndex = 22

'UCL
Selection.FormatConditions.Add
Type:=xlCellValue, Operator:=xlGreater, _
Formula1:="=" &
Selection.End(xlDown).Offset(11, 0).Address

Selection.FormatConditions(2).Interior.ColorIndex = 19

'end Conditional formating code

End If
End If
Next

It may actually look in LESS names than you intended.
"Sheet.names" only returns the "local" names, like "Sheet2!my_range" and not
the names define at the workbook level like "my_range".
To define those names in Excel's user interface you have to enter the
sheetname at the begining of the NAME...

By the way, Tom's code has a few flaws... worst than mine ! ;-]
If you are basing your code on his, post your code, if you want help in
correcting its behaviour...

Luc, If I use ActiveSheet.Names
dosent that limit the search to just the names on the active sheet? or
does it still look at a lot of unecessary space?

Thanks for bringing this up
Robert

It doesn't make much sense to search ( with find() ) the entire active sheet
instead of your named ranges. You will get "false positives" on many
occasions...

Thanks Tom, I Have got that working. Im using Activesheet because
there are many sheets from on template that have the same names and I
may need to run diffent pass/fail criteria on differnt sheets.

Thanks Again

You also might Try

ThisWorkbook.Names instead of Activesheet.Names

It depends on which names you want to look at.

I need to search through the Named Ranges in a sheet and for the ones
that contain certain text, in this case "IMP" then I need to set a
conditonal format to the range. I have the conditonal formating part
working but Im having trouble iterating through the names for the text

My code is

Dim zNmRng

For Each zNmRng In ActiveSheet.Names ' Iterate through names.
If zNmRng = Cells.Find(what:="IMP", After:=ActiveCell,
LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:= _
xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByColumns, SearchDirection:=xlNext,
MatchCase:= _
False, SearchFormat:=False) Then

'Conditional formating code goes here

End If
Next

I am obviously using the find method incorrectly


I also want to have a second condition if, the first conditon is true
then I need to see if the name has "ID" in the name and if so skip
the code. Im sure that once I figure out how to do the first part, the
second is just a mater of nesting.

Here are some examples of the named ranges:

IMP_100_Hz ---- do
LC_100_Hz ------ Skip
IMP_ID ------------ Skip
IMP_20K_Hz ---- do

Any help will be appreciated
