Semi-automating the generation of multiple cell range names
 
We have a need for speeding up the creation of range names in a complex Excel
workbook. We know about using Insert Name Create for individual cells. Is
there a similar technique for ranges?

TIA

select range
then
InsertNameDefine
write nameaddok

Um, yes. Of course.

However, I am looking for a way to automate the creation of a number of
range names, rather than taking them one at a time. Automating will help us
ensure the names are created accurately and more quickly. They can be audited
before committing them.

If you have titles at the head of your row or column ranges, then if you use
Insert/ Names/ Create (rather than Define), it can pick up those titles &
use them as the basis for names for your ranges

David:

Thanks. Is there any way to programmatically reference the range itself, so
that the process can be automated further?
