Linked Names in a Formula
I wish to enter a Range in a Worksheet that has a Name on another Sheet. I can do this by typing the Name in the appropriate formula but can I do it by selecting and pasting in the Insert Function Wizard? For example, if the Function is VLOOKUP I can call up the Function Wizard in the Dependent Sheet and enter the required Reference in that Sheet in the first box in the Wizard. I can then enter the beginning of the Linked Reference in the Independent Sheet in the next box by selecting the Independent Workbookt and then the Tab of thr Sheet in that Workbook that contains the Range I wish to Link to in the Function. This automatically produces the first part of the External Referene in the correct format. The last bit of this External Reference is the Name of the Range in the Indepensent Workbook that is required in my Formula. When I try to paste this name from my list in the Indpendent Workbook it always throws me back to the list of names in the dependent Wirkbook. I can type the name of the Range I want into the Wizard and it works fine. Is there a way of pasting the Range in the Independent Worksheet in the Wizard without typing it in, snd so svoiding mistakes in the entryhttp://www.excelforum.com/images/editor/menupop.gif?
