hi. i have this master workbook that contains all the defined name ranges and
data, and then i have other worksheets that use the same format/ template,
but all data points to the data in the master workbook... problem is,
whenever i update the master workbook, like when i add a row to it (the
defined name ranges automatically update for the master workbook), but the
other template workbooks' defined names aren't updated... is there a way to
have all the defined names use the one from the master workbook?or at least
update from it?

everytime the master workbook is updated, all other calculations from the
other workbooks becomes wrong since their defined ranges haven't changed, but
the master workbooks names haves changed....
