How to apply a name to a cell range
I have created a name range for monthly sales (Jan thro to Dec) for each
product. Example Name Sales_Prod1_06 which applies to cells N12:y12. On a summary worksheet I now want to reference this range and enter =Sales_Prod1_06. However I get Value! error if the name range is not entered in column N:y on the summary worksheet. I am sure I was able to do this without any probelm in the old version of excel ( I am now using 2007) Thanks for your help |

How to apply a name to a cell range
Maybe you mean
=SUM(Sales_Prod1_06) ? If not, which of the cells from the named range do you expect the formula to return? If you refer to the type of "names" used in "Accept labels in formulas"; that feature is no longer present in Excel 2007 -- Kind regards, Niek Otten Microsoft MVP - Excel "Stephen Francis M" <Stephen Francis wrote in message ... |I have created a name range for monthly sales (Jan thro to Dec) for each | product.

How to apply a name to a cell range
No, you were not, since I can't do it here with my 2003 version.
Or you did something else than you write... ;-) Alternatively, you could use the INDEX function and retrieve the 1st till 12th element of the named range. -- Wigi http://www.wimgielis.be = Excel/VBA, soccer and music "Stephen Francis M" wrote: I have created a name range for monthly sales (Jan thro to Dec) for each product.

How to apply a name to a cell range
So what did you want to do with the array ?
Did you want to sum it or just reference the whole array in one cell? "Stephen Francis M" wrote: I have created a name range for monthly sales (Jan thro to Dec) for each product.

How to apply a name to a cell range
Hi Wigi
I didnt get what you meant by reference in your answer to my original question "Reference, otherwise you wouldn't need 12 cells..." If i name a range(a1:a99) as cmk and reference it in cell B1 =cmk whats that going to achieve unless he was trying to sum it like =sum(cmk) This is refering to the original question of htis message group "=Sales_Prod1_06. However I get Value! error if the name range is not entered in column N:y on the summary worksheet.

How to apply a name to a cell range
=Sales_Prod1_06
Think you must array-enter the above multi-cell defined range (ie press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER - CSE) into a horiz range of the same size -- select 12 horiz cells, place the formula into the leftmost active cell, then press CSE. This will fill the selected range with the contents of the defined range. -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 xdemechanik --- "Stephen Francis M" wrote: I have created a name range for monthly sales (Jan thro to Dec) for each product.

If you array-enter the defined range into a single cell, then it shows only the 1st element. Array-enter into 2 horiz cells, it'll show the first 2 elements, and so on.
