Naming Areas on Worksheet (Excel 2002)
We have a workbook containing several sheets. Each sheet will eventually
have many named cells. When we name a cell and then hit GO TO these named cells for ALL the worksheets show up in the list. Is there a setting we can change so that ONLY the named cells in that particular worksheet show? If not, then I am afraid that the only way to accomplish this is to break out each sheet into a separate workbook, then make a master workbook that contains links to each worksheet. |

When entering the names make them local to the sheet. Select a range to name. InsertNameDefine In the "Names in Workbook" enter a name as such............. Sheetname!MyRange MyRange will only show in the Go To when Sheet1 is active. Or download and use Jan Karel Pieterse's Name Manager Add-in which allows you to change the names to local after the fact. Can be downloaded from Stephen Bullen's site. http://www.oaltd.co.uk/MVP/Default.htm Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Sat, 14 Oct 2006 09:47:02 -0700, Abby wrote: We have a workbook containing several sheets.

Include the name of the worksheet in the "Names in Workbook" box:
'Acme corrugated box'!yournamehere (That's what was in Gord's original response, too.)
