Default name range from absolute to relative

How are you removing the $ signs?

Are you in Edit mode while removing?

Did you use the F4 to cycle through the options per my second post?

To remove the dollar signs would seem to be the logical thing to do, however
I've tried this on two computers and in both cases the new "refers to"
formula references a random range of cells - different each time I try.

As an example, if I remove the "$"'s (all four) from:
=Sheet1!$C$11:$C$16
I get:
=Sheet1!IT16:IT21

Select the referenced cells and F4 to cycle through the options untill you get
to relative reference.

Yes, follow these steps:

Find your named range in the list and take out the dollar signs.
