Lets say cell A1 is named "Cheeseburger", what is the easiest way to
delete the name so that cell A1 is now simply A1?

Also meant to add that you have multiple cell referencing A1 as
"Cheeseburger" in their formula and not "A1".

Pressing "DELETE" wont accomplish what i am trying to get done. If i
press delete then the cells referencing the cell "Cheeseburger" will
still reference "Cheeseburger" and not "A1", however the cell will just
have the value 0 (since i deleted its contents). And deleting the name
"Cheeseburger" in the cell name box does absolutely nothing.

Thanks Chuck, but when I do this then the cells referencing
"Cheeseburger" still reference "Cheeseburger", so while deleting the
cell in this way does fix one problem, it then leaves me with many
name? errors.

BEFORE eliminating the Cheezeburger, do a "Fnd and Replace" to get it out of
the formulas and replace it with A1
