Yet another question naming ranges
I have workbook in which I need to import data from a text file. Every time
I import the data the number of rows change so I delete the old data before importing the new. Now, what I want to do is select the new data and reset the range of a named range that already exists. I can select the new range easy enough with : Range("R3").Select Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select After the range is selected how do I rename it? I know its something simple but I'm stuck here and would greatly appreciate any help. TIA Steve H |

You don't need to select anything.

Hi
Maybe you try to use a dynamic named range instead P.e. you data are in some range like A2:X### with headers in range A1:X1, and cells in column A are never empty when there are some data in same row, and there aren't any empty rows in used datarange. Define named range as YourRange=OFFSET(SheetX!$A$2,,,COUNTIF(Sheet!$A:$A ,"<")-1,24) -- (When sending e-mail, use address ) Arvi Laanemets wrote in message ...

Arvi,
Thanks for the advice. Vasant's solution fits my needs a little better. Steve "Arvi Laanemets" wrote in message ...
