Default Range of a function

Hi Daniel:

We don't need to know where the last cell is !!

=AVERAGE(A50:A65536) is o.k. because AVERAGE ignores all the blank cells
below the last used cell.

Hi Daniel,

You can use a named range and call it Range1 or whatever
then the formula would be =AVERAGE(Range1)

To name a range just select the range of cells
then click in the Name Box and type the name and hit enter
The Name box is just to the left of the formula bar
it usually displays the address of the active cell.
See Help for more details.
