Do you mean:
Columns("G").Select OR: Columns("G:G").Select Instead of: Columns(7).Select Or something else? |

No, I was referring to something like
Columns("My wonderful new caption") instead of Columns(4), or Columns("G")... |

How do I refer (in VBA Code) to a column by caption instead of index ?
Hello Radu, Put your caption in Row 1. Select the Column by clicking the column letter. Click *Insert* on the menu bar and select *Name*. Check that the entire column is selected. Look at the *Refers to:* box. If you selected column "G" on sheet 1 you will see "=Sheet1!$G:$G". The double column letter indicates the entire column is selected.

How do I refer (in VBA Code) to a column by caption instead of index ?
Thank you, Ross.... What I need is this:
In a module (VBA code) I need to be able to refer to columns in my spreadsheet not by position, since the user might change the columns' order, but by Caption (the caption is NOT negociable). So in the first row I have the captions, like Caption 1 Caption 2 Caption 3 and in the subsequent rows I have the data: a b c d e f I need to be able to write in code NOT .Columns(2), NOT columns ("B"), since the columns might move, but .Columns("Caption 2")...

Record a macro while doing this:
Select your columns InsertNameCreate check Top row Include this in your code Now you can refer to the columns: ..Range("Caption2") -- Kind regards, Niek Otten "Radu" wrote in message oups.com...
