Do Vlookup calculate quicker using named ranges?!
simple question:
Do Vlookup calculate quicker using named ranges? ....on a big range (e.g A1:V45000) it seems like they evaluate quicker if a name is used in the Vlookup. Surely this isn't true? Any help appreciated Jason. |

Hi Jason,
The last time I checked it was slower (but only very slightly, the overhead of processing named ranges is not usually very high). regards Charles _________________________________________ UK Cambridge XL Users Conference 29-30 Nov http://www.exceluserconference.com/UKEUC.html "WhytheQ" wrote in message ... simple question: Do Vlookup calculate quicker using named ranges? ...on a big range (e.g A1:V45000) it seems like they evaluate quicker if a name is used in the Vlookup.

I don't think named ranges compromises the performance of your workbook, and
I don't think there is a limit to the number of named ranges you can use (although as a practical matter if you have thousands, you may want to consider things such as maintenance and the overall usefulness of the tool).
