Default give cells the same name

Hello!

I want to do the following:
I have two sheets, let's say Sheet1 and Sheet2.
On every sheet I want to name the cells "A1" with "customer".
The problem is, when I name Sheet1!A1 and after that Sheet2!A1 the name
of Sheet1!A1 gets deleted. I know, how to do this with the SHIFT-Key,
but I do not want the cells to have a relation. So if I change Cell
Sheet1!A1, this should have no effect on Sheet2!A1. They should only
have the same name.
Thanks for any help.

Regards
Christian

Hi Christian,

On every sheet I want to name the cells "A1" with "customer".


include the sheet name when creating the name, eg. type sheet1!customer
and sheet2!customer. However, I would recommend, that you create one
template sheet with all the names etc. then you can simply copy that
sheet for each new customer and you'll get the same with less work.

An alternative to consider

define the name "customer" =Indirect("A1")
This way you define it once and dependent on which sheet the formula
=customer is will decide the returned value.

HTH and let us know
