Default Named Range Limitations

Hello,

Thanks for the responses. I understand and know how to create Named Ranges.
My question is...is there a limitation to the number of cells you can have,
because I used click and ctrl-click for about 19 non-adjacent cells and was
able to create a Named Range. Then a few minutes later I wanted to create
another named range, but this time it will only allow me to use 11
non-adjacent cells.

My co-worker also run into this problem as well. We are using MS Excel 2003.

I will try Dave's 2nd suggestion. Does anyone know if there's a glitch with
version 2003 when creating Named Range?

Thanks again

Maybe you can try this:

Select your range (click and ctrl-click as much as necessary)
Type the name in the name box (to the left of the formula bar)
(remember to hit enter when you're done)

If that doesn't work, one more test.

Select your range again
hit alt-f11 to get to the VBE (where macros live)
hit ctrl-g to see the immediate window
type this:

Selection.name = "TheNameYouWantToUseHere"

Then back to excel to test it out.

Hello,

I hope someone can help me solve this problem. What is the limit on how
many non adjacent cells/ranges can be saved in a Named Range? Sometimes MS
Excel 2003 will allow me to have 16 non-adjacent cells and other times it
will let me do just 11.

Thank you.
