Hi,

try either depending on whether the named range is local to the sheet.
=sheetname!rangename
=bookname.xls!rangename

cheers

I would like to use rangenames to specify the data sources for a chart, but
Excel does not seem to like this. I have tried entering the rangename in the
following formats:

rangename
=rangename
={rangename]
={"rangename"}

... and various other formats.

Surely there is a way to do this ....?
