Here's a link to an old thread that addresses this subject.

There are 2 solutions suggested ... one by Dave Peterson using VBA and
another where I use a combination of smaller ranges to make one large, all
encompassing range.

Your choice since both work.

Is there a limit as to how many ranges can be joined in this manner?
I was trying to name a range on a worksheet that was 52 non-connecting
fields of 20 cells (A4:D8, A11:D15, ...). However, when I would check
the range anterwords, the first 10 sections or so would not be
included in the Named Range. User error, or Excel limitation?

Hi Rob,
You can divide the Range as you need as follows:

Sub CreateMyRange()
Dim MyRange As Range

Set MyRange = Application.Union(Range("A1:A24"), Range("A26:A47"),
Range("A49:A100"))
MyRange.Select ' Just to confirm the defined range. you can remove
this line later
MyRange.Name = "MyName"

End Sub

Hope this helps,
