Need help with adding a range name
I select a range by using the following code:
Worksheets(Sheet2Name).Cells(Sheet2FirstRowNum, 1).Select Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlToRight)).Select Is there a way I can "convert" the aforementioned selected range (which can vary) into the required R1C1 format so that I end up with something like this: ActiveWorkbook.Names.Add Name:="Database", RefersToR1C1:= _ "=Worksheets(Sheet2Name)!R2C1:R18C11" Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. |

Thanks for the help. Unfortunately, I received a compile error message
("Invalid or unqualified reference"), and ".Cells" in line 2 of your code was highlighted.

Need help with adding a range name
Works for me perfectly. I created a sheet name of "Sheet1" and a FirstRowNum
of 5 and created a contiguous block of data. Rolling back the clock a bit, does this help? Worksheets(Sheet2Name).Cells(Sheet2FirstRowNum, 1).Select Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlToRight)).Select Selection.Name = "Database" The last line was the difference I was trying to note, which was that there's no need to use the Names.Add nonsense. Good luck. "Bob" wrote in message ... Thanks for the help. Unfortunately, I received a compile error message ("Invalid or unqualified reference"), and ".Cells" in line 2 of your code was highlighted.

Need help with adding a range name
If there are no gaps in columns or rows, you could try this:
with worksheets(Sheet2Name) .cells(sheet2firstrownum,1).currentregion.name _ = "'" & .name & "'!database" end with In any case, if you want to make the name local (a sheet level name), you'll want to add something like: .name = "'" & worksheets(sheet2name).name & "'!database or maybe just: .name = "'" & sheet2name & "'!database if sheet2name is really the name of the sheet.

Or the modified version to capture single spaces in the sheet:

That's a good way to fix the apostrophes in the worksheet name--not the spaces.
