Replace Cells with Column names in functions?
 

I have a # of fairly long/complex cell functions that get hard to debug
because there are also a lot of rows.

Is there anyway to change display so it replaces the column name e.g.

If(BT1204="X". BA="Y"

to

If(CustomerName="X", CustomerCode="Y")

?

Hmm, thanks, but i am more looking for some auto or semi automatic way for
the displayed functions to reference the column names. Search and replace
for all formulas might get problematic.

Look at "About labels and names in formulas" in the help file.

Hi,

define a name to BT1204 as Customername, BA1204 as customercode. Now go to
Apply names, select all the names and click on OK. All the BT1204 and
BA1204 on the same sheet will get replaced by customername and customercode
