Excel 2007

I have a spreadsheet with columns for each day of the week. The spreadsheet
is broken down into 5 sections. For each of the 7 columns I would like to
create a range name for the total in each of the 5 sections, so that would
be 35 range names in all.

Is there a way to quickly create range names? For example, could I create a
table containing the desired names for each range (which I could build with
an formula) and the corresponding address ranges, and then somehow use that
table to create all the range names?

Thanks for any help that you can offer?
