I find this syntax easier:

Range("xfd100").End(xlToLeft).name = "variance"

If you wanted to use a worksheet level name:

With activesheet
.Range("xfd100").End(xlToLeft).name = "'" & .name & "'!variance"
end with

Should be simple, but just can't nail the syntax.

There is an existing Range Name "Variance".
Merely want whatever cell this line lands on ---
Range("xfd100").End(xlToLeft).Select
--- to become the new address of range name "Variance".

Here's one of a few dozen I've tried that don't work:

Range("xfd100").End(xlToLeft).Select
ActiveWorkbook.Names("Variance").RefersToRange.Sel ection

Thanx in advance for your assistance.
