Multiple areas in named ranges
Hi All
From what I know, Excel doesn't support multiple areas in named ranges Does anyone know of any get arounds to this limitation from the fron end or by using VBA. Secondly, if however, programmatically, using VBA, I do create a name range say "myRange" referring to say :- Sheet1!A1:C50,Sheet2!A1:C50 with comma delimited multiple areas as shown above (at least 2 areas and which happen to be on different worksheets of the same workbook and then write a custom function to evaluate the contents of each o the cells within this named range, is it possible to determine th worksheet names of each of the areas of the multiple area named rang using the following statement :- firstAreaWorksheetName = myRange.Areas(1).Parent.Name secondAreaWorksheetName = myRange.Areas(2).Parent.Name etc. Or am I on the wrong track? Any suggestions would be highly valued. Best regards Deepak Agarwa -- Message posted from http://www.ExcelForum.com |

Multiple areas in named ranges
You're on the wrong track. A range is a child object of a worksheet, so
a range cannot have areas in two different sheets. You could use a collection, instead: Dim colRanges As New Collection Dim firstAreaWorksheetName As String Dim secondAreaWorksheetName As String colRanges.Add Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:C50").Cells colRanges.Add Sheets("Sheet2").Range("A1:C50").Cells firstAreaWorksheetName = colRanges(1).Parent.Name secondAreaWorksheetName = colRanges(2).Parent.Name MsgBox firstAreaWorksheetName & vbNewLine & secondAreaWorksheetName In article , agarwaldvk wrote: From what I know, Excel doesn't support multiple areas in named ranges.

Multiple areas in named ranges
Forgot to say that named ranges certainly can contain multiple areas
within one sheet: Range("A1:J10,K11:T20").Name = "MyNamedRange" MsgBox Range("MyNamedRange").Address In article , agarwaldvk wrote: From what I know, Excel doesn't support multiple areas in named ranges. Does anyone know of any get arounds to this limitation from the front end or by using VBA |
