naming cells using insert name define
 

Topic: Naming a cell or a range of cells using Insert Name (Excel 2003)

I can see that you can define a name for a cell or range of cells using
Insert Name Define.

I can see that you can define a range using a row label by using Insert
Name Create.

I can see that you can put a named cell(s) into a function using Insert
Name Paste.

I can see that you can update a spreadsheet with newly defined named cells
using Insert Name Apply.

But I can not work out what Insert Name Label does.

I have search office help and Microsoft office online, I have looked a two
level 3 Excel books and I can not find an explanation.

Can you help?

I found this item in Excel Help when I typed in "label ranges"

About labels and names in formulas

Click on it and read. Maybe give you some insight.

If you have a table with column headings and row headings you can define the
headings using Insert Name Label. If you then refer to the cell in a
formula you see the column and row headings rather than the cell reference.
You do need to turn this on using toolsoptionscalculation tabaccept labels
in formulas.

Hope this helps
