Batch deleting invalid defined names from a workbook
I have inherited an excel file filled to the brim with obsolete name
definitions, numbering in the hundreds. I would like a macro that loops through these names, see where they refer to, and if they refer to any #REF!, or a particular external file that no longer exist, to delete the name itself. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks |

Batch deleting invalid defined names from a workbook
Thanks, I used it and believe it or not, the excel file had approximately
18,000 (eighteen thousand) invalid names. The add-in took about 5 minutes just to display the list.
