Default building formulas that change frequently using named cell rang

well, it's actually for sports stats. I download the stats each day to a
worksheet, and name the range with that date. Then on a separate worksheet,
I subtract a previous date (I want the freedom to select any date previous)
from today's date. My ultimate goal is to be able to come up with a list of
how many points a player has for any specified range during the year....

If I understand you correctly, you have at least 365 named ranges.
I can practically guarantee there's a better approach.

Can you describe how you use those ranges?
Then we'll see if we can come with a good solution for you.

Basically, I've got a spreadsheet that has a range specified for each day
of
the year. The formula is looking to subtract a previous date (2 weeks
ago -
Nov 252007) from the latest range (today's date - Dec042007). **Dec042007
and
Nov252007 are named cell references**

As it stands now, I've got to do a find and replace each day so that the
data is current. I'd like to have a cell where I'd like to change daily
that
would automatically change the formulas to the correct ranges. While the
find and replace works fine, it isn't as efficient as it could be.

Is this type of process possible? Can a formula be built off a table?

Thanks in advance.
