Conditional Named Ranges
Excel allows a defined name to represent an array range or array constant. It
allows a name to represent a formula which is then evaluated to return a value. Why can I not define conditional arrays like these: =IF(!$A$1=Q1,{Jan;Feb;Mar} ,IF(!$A$1=Q2, {Apr;May;Jun})) =IF(!$A$1="Q1",!$A$2:!$A$4,IF(!$A$1="Q2",!$A$5:!$A $7)) When I try to enter their names in a vertical range, the first value is returned in all cells. |

Try substituting commas for the semicolons. This works for me when used
in Insert/Define/Name: =IF(!$A$1="Q1",{"Jan","Feb","Mar"},IF(!$A$1="Q2", {"Apr","May","Jun"})) In article , Tevuna wrote: Excel allows a defined name to represent an array range or array constant.

Doesn't work for me in a horizontal, and certainly not in vertical, range.
