Having a problem using a variable to add a 'name'
Okay, to get this working I've had to change the davv... reference t the actual worksheet name instead, like: 'Validation Values'!C1. Stil can't understand why I can't just reference a variable but I need t get the working. I'm sure it's something quite basic and fundamental i relation to the way you should use/declare variables so I would stil appreciate any advice to prevent similar issues in the future? Thanks, Adria -- Kobayash ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Kobayashi's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...info&userid=87 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread.php?threadid=27358 |

Having a problem using a variable to add a 'name'
if davvsheet is a variable holding the text Sheet2
then Sub BBTest() Dim DAbook as Workbook Dim davvsheet as String davvsheet = "Sheet2" Set DAbook = Workbooks("Book1.xls") DAbook.Names.Add Name:="Lookuplist2", RefersToR1C1:= _ "=" & davvsheet & "!c1" End Sub would work, but you were already given that answer??? a possibibility is that the sheet name has a space in it. Then you would need "='" & davvsheet & "'!c1" so the name will be enclosed in single quotes. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "Kobayashi" wrote in message ...
