Thumbs up Answer: Range Name Limitations - Max Refers To Length?

Hi Barb,

Yes, there is a limitation on the maximum length for the Refers to field in named ranges in Excel. The maximum length is 255 characters. If you are hitting this limitation, you will need to shorten the range name or find a way to simplify the range reference.

Here are a few tips to help you work within this limitation:
  1. Use shorter range names: Try to use shorter, more concise range names that still accurately describe the data in the range.
  2. Use cell references: Instead of using a long range reference, try using cell references. For example, instead of using "Sheet1!A1:Z100", use "Sheet1!A1" and "Sheet1!Z100" separately.
  3. Use named formulas: If you need to reference a complex formula or calculation, consider creating a named formula instead of a named range. Named formulas can be longer than named ranges.

Hope this helps!

Formula:
// Sample macro code
Sub ExampleMacro()
    
' Your code here
End Sub
