Rename Defined Names
Hi There,
I am wondering whether it is possible to rename Defined Names ... What is the most convenient way? The way I would do it. - Copy the same "Refers to" ....(range, formula,...) as the orginal Defined Nmae - Give it the New Name & Replace the Old Name with the New Name via "Flexfind" (JKP: http://www.jkp-ads.com) -Delete the Old name Downside ... naah, there is none. It can handle the names used in Data Validation, Conditional Formatting ,... as well! Just wondering whether you have other ways ( a direct one, instead of the creation, finding and deletion way described above) to handle "renaming" Defined Names. Thanks for your comments, Sige |
Rename Defined Names
Hi
InsertNameDefine Select the name to rename. Type in the new name. Add On worksheets, where the name was used, ReplaceAll OldName with NewName. Select ranges with data validation/conditional formatting, and replace names there too. Delete old name. Probably you can write a procedure for all this too - i.e. the user is asked, which name is to be replaced, and the new name, and all the rest is done by code. -- Arvi Laanemets ( My real mail address: arvi.laanemets<attarkon.ee ) "Sige" wrote in message oups.com...

Get a copy of Jan Karel Pieterse's (with Charles Williams and Matthew Henson)
Name Manager to help: You can find it at: NameManager.Zip from http://www.oaltd.co.uk/mvp And don't forget your code will have to change (well, if you used any of those names in the VBA).
