I tried both the macros (from Don and John) and the first macro
named only the first column. The second one do not work at all sorry Don.
Maybe I didn't give you enough details or didn't explain well. Sorry.
Here
1- I use this in personnal macro because I use it with different files.
2- The macro I use right now insert columns, add formula, create Pivot Table
base on the table I'm trying to give a name. (The same macro do all of this).
Naming the table is part of the macro.

3- Everything work fine except when I try to named the table from cell
A4(always) to (variable columns and Rows)Example Col: J,K or L rows 10, 20,
98, etc.
The macro close without making a mistake, however the table is always a4 to
I20
The cell A4 will always be the first cell of the table. The column I will be
normally I all the time. The row can be anything 5 to 3000.

Why when I ask to go to the last cell the macro always stop to row 20 even
if I have 40 rows. I even tried to use the "record macro using the option
"relative References" and it doesn't change. If I use the CTRL-End (shortcut)
the curseur go to the last cell so it's not a problem with the sheets or the
data.
Can you help me on this. Thanks for the work you did already.

Try this. Your defined name needs to be variable. Look in the help index for
OFFSET

Sub variablerange()
Sheets("sheet1").Select
ActiveWorkbook.Names.Add Name:="HvacTable", RefersTo:= _
"=offset($A$3,1,0,counta($r:$r)-3,11)"

' "=Sheet1!R4C1:R20C11"
End Sub

I need to name a group of cells in vba. I need to add a few lines just to
name cells in my macro and refer to that range. The problem is the range
(row
and Col) is variable. The macro I wrote do not work and keep the same
range.
Here my needs:
1- Table always start at cell A4
2- Row and columns are variable and can be anything
3- I need to add this vba line inside a macro.
Here the line I did to name cells.
If I create a new file with more rows the macro keep the same range R20C11
and
name the cells. Macro do not go to the last cells. Why?
Thanks
