defining a name in a cell?
You can reference that name in an other cell.
For instance, give a cell a name of Tax_Rate, another a name of Price, and in another cell add a formula of =Price*(1_Tax_Rate) gives the price including tax, and as you can see, it is very understandable. -- --- HTH Bob (there's no email, no snail mail, but somewhere should be gmail in my addy) "mp@ea" wrote in message ...

a slight typo here ..
.. =Price*(1_Tax_Rate) gives the price including tax think it was meant as: =Price*(1+Tax_Rate) gives the price including tax -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 xdemechanik --- |

Hi,
You are creating a name to represent a formula or a constant. To create a named definition 1. On the Insert menu, point to Name, and then click Define. 2. In the Names in workbook box, enter the name for the formula. 3. In the Refers to box, type = (equal sign), followed by the formula or the constant (constant: A value that is not calculated and, therefore, does not change. For example, the number 210, and the text "Quarterly Earnings" are constants. An expression, or a value resulting from an expression, is not a constant.) value.
