How to get range names to Apply across multiple tabs
(Excel 2007, XP)
I have been building a financial modeling spreadsheet w/ a few tabs. As it has gotten more complicated, I've decided to have some assumptions held in single cells get names to simplify formulas. Now I want to apply those named cells' names across multiple tabs where the cells are already referenced in formulas. (The names are global to the workbook not the worksheet and defined w/ absolute cell references.) This is a very basic / common use case for named ranges -- assumptions on 1 tab, real modeling on another, new names need to get applied after the fact. But it looks like the "Apply Names" command only works on the tab containing the named ranges. I even tried moving (temporarily) those named cells to the sheet where I wanted to apply the names (or vice versa) and no dice. Error is "Microsoft cannot find any references to replace". Thoughts? |
