Hi Mike,
I could name a range to both C and c in XL2003! Do you get any message? Regards, Stefi €˛Mike H€¯ ezt Ć*rta: Hi, Why are C or c invalid names for named ranges on a worksheet? Mike |

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. -- David Biddulph "Mike H" wrote in message ... Hi, Why are C or c invalid names for named ranges on a worksheet? Mike |

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! Stefi €˛Mike H€¯ ezt Ć*rta: Stefi, Using Insert|Name|Define in XL2003 I get a popup error if I use C or c.

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. http://ezinearticles.com/?Rules-For-...xcel&id=218607 Thanks for the Info' Mike "David Biddulph" wrote: If my memory serves me right, C and R can't be used by they are used as designations for column and row respectively.

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!
