Hi,

Why are C or c invalid names for named ranges on a worksheet?

Hi Mike,

I could name a range to both C and c in XL2003! Do you get any message?

Regards,
Stefi

Stefi,

Using
Insert|Name|Define in XL2003 I get a popup error if I use C or c.

'The name is not Valid'

I Googled it but got nothing.

If my memory serves me right, C and R can't be used by they are used as
designations for column and row respectively. (Other letters are accepted.)
You can use R or C if preceded, or followed, by an underscore.

It's strange! The only way I could get this error message was using 2c (not
starting with an alpha character) or c2 (same as a cell reference) type names!

David,

That seems sensible and I do get the same error when trying to use R but it
doesn't explain why Stefi doesn't get the error with C.

I'm not sure how authorative this is but there is no mention of this
seemingly undocumented feature here.

David is right, C and R stands for column and row respectively. The reason
why my Excel accepted these letters is that I use a national language version
in which O and S are the equivalents of C and R. Using O or S I got the error
message!
And also Mike is right when he misses documentation of this constraint!
