Hope
Select the range you want to name. Goto the name box, it is located just above column A and it has a drop down arrow. Click inside the name box and enter the name you want for the range you have selected. When you are done you must hit "Enter" to name that range. Or you could goto (after selecting your range) InsertNamedefine, and enter your range name there and ok out. It is nice to know both ways because you can quickly find a named range by clicking the name box drop down, and you can delete a range in the insertname.....place. Does this help You?

Thanks for your help in this one.
I did follow the step by step instructions CLARITY on the instructions you gave is Superb. It did DEFINITE change in the Name Box but it did not change in the Cell my still same OLD Name "Allocation" is still showing. FOR EXAMPLE: I want to REname certain range of cells D8:D12 with a NEW named called Serving. "Mike Rogers" wrote: Hope Select the range you want to name.

A cell (range) can have more then one name.
The displayed name will be the one higher in alphabetical order, even though either (any) assigned name will work. Go to <Insert <Name <Define, And delete the ones you no longer want. -- HTH, RD ================================================== === Please keep all correspondence within the Group, so all may benefit! ================================================== === "Hope" wrote in message ...

Hope
To REname a range you must delete the old name, before or after it matters not but it must be deleted. Be careful deleting a named range in an existing worksheet. Make sure that named range is NOT used in any other formulas because once you delete that name the formulas may not work as designed. REread my first post it explains how to delete a named range.
