Maybe just:

if r is nothing then
'error message here
else
r.name = "Diagonal"
end if

I would like to be able to assign a name to a range in VBA. For example:

Sub mac2()
Dim r As Range
Set r = Cells(1, 1)
For i = 2 To 10
If Not IsEmpty(Cells(i, i).Value) Then
Set r = Union(r, Cells(i, i))
End If
Next
r.Select

ActiveWorkbook.Names.Add Name:="diagonal", RefersToR1C1:= ?????????

End Sub

By Naming a range I can make it available to worksheet functions.
