Automatically create names from values in cell
Dear Experts:
This simple code snippet automatically creates names from values in the left column of a selection Sub CreateNames() Selection.CreateNames Left:=True End Sub The built-in functionality is: Formulas - Create from Selection - Create names from values in the left column. For the macro solution to work, one must select cells from at least two columns. Hence this simple macro should be re-written so that the current selection of cells ( cells have been selected from just one column) automatically gets extended to the right. For example: Current selection A2:A5. The code snippet for the extension of the selection should extend the selection to A2:B5. Help is much appreciated. Thank you very much in advance. Regards, Andreas |
Automatically create names from values in cell
I wouldn't use CreateNames as the macro name -- it looks way too much like the
..CreateNames method for a range. Option Explicit Sub MyCreateNames() Selection.Columns(1).Resize(, 2).CreateNames Left:=True End Sub The .columns(1) tells excel to just look at the first column in the selection. The .resize(, 2) tells excel to include the adjacent column.
