Named Range is a formula
 

Hello

When a named range is a formula and not a range, how does one refer to it in
code.

Normally for example: workbook.worksheet.range("abc")

but since there is no sheet identified with the named range as formula i
cannot figure out how to call its value in the code.

Please help.

Named Range is a formula
 

ThisWorkbook.Names("abc").RefersTo

This is not a range. It is just a named formula.

Hi W

if you want the result of the named formula rather than the formula itself
then use Evaluate

if namedformula has a refersto of =5*2/3 you will get 3.3333 returned to
vArr

dim vArr as variant
varr=application.evaluate("NamedFormula")

or
varr=[NamedFormula]

for a general purpose wrapper function for Evaluate see
