Default Add Cell name

Sub CellName()
Dim myFile, myKlas, myDiv, myName, rc, ref As String
Dim nRow As Long, Col As Long

myFile = ActiveSheet.Name ' it's "D35" for example
myKlas = myFile
myDiv = ActiveCell.Value ' it's "South" for example

myName = myKlas & myDiv ' the name I want to give the cell

nRow = ActiveCell.Row
Col = ActiveCell.Column
rc = "R" & nRow & "C" & Col

ref = myFile & "!" & rc
ActiveWorkbook.Names.Add Name:=myName, RefersTo:="=" & ref
End Sub


BTW, all of those variables are not of type string, you need to declare each
explicitly, like tis

Dim myFile As String, myKlas As String, myDiv As String, myName As String,
rc As String, ref As String

and you should not use Row as a variable name, it is a VBA keyword.
