Using column labels instead of column numbers
I am using Excel 2000
I want to create a module to avoid using a lage number of complex formulas. In Excel (Options) you can elect to use labels in formulas. Can I use labels in a module and if I can, how do I reference them? The reason for this is that I have to pass the spreadsheet on and the user is likely to insert columns, or reorder the columns, without thinking of the consequences. What I am hoping is that by using labels, if the column is moved the calculations will still work as they will still be referncing the correct data. I am doing a job which would be better, and more easily, done in a database but that option is not available to me. Thank you in advance for any help or assistance you can give me. Sean Bishop |
