Ranges are easier to identify by name than by A1 notation. To name a selected range, click the name box at the left end of the formula bar, type a name, and then press ENTER.

Note There are two types of named ranges: Workbook Named Range and WorkSHEET Specific Named Range.

A Workbook Named Range references a specific range from anywhere in the workbook (it applies globally).

How to Create a Workbook Named Range:

As explained above, it is usually created entering the name into the name box to the left end of the formula bar. Note that no spaces are allowed in the name.

A WorkSHEET Specific Named Range refers to a range in a specific worksheet, and it is not global to all worksheets within a workbook. Refer to this named range by just the name in the same worksheet, but from another worksheet you must use the worksheet name including "!" the name of the range (example: the range "Name" "=Sheet1!Name").

The benefit is that you can use VBA code to generate new sheets with the same names for the same ranges within those sheets without getting an error saying that the name is already taken.

How to Create a WorkSHEET Specific Named Range:

Example, of WorkSHEET Specific Named Range: Selected range to name are A1:A10

Chosen name of range is "name" within the same worksheet refer to the named name mere by entering the following in a cell "=name", from a different worksheet refer to the worksheet specific range by included the worksheet name in a cell "=Sheet1!name".

The following example refers to the range named "MyRange" in the workbook named "MyBook.xls."

The following example refers to the worksheet-specific range named "Sheet1!Sales" in the workbook named "Report.xls."

To select a named range, use the GoTo method, which activates the workbook and the worksheet and then selects the range.

The following example shows how the same procedure would be written for the active workbook.

This example uses a named range as the formula for data validation. This example requires the validation data to be on Sheet 2 in the range A2:A100. This validation data is used to validate data entered on Sheet 1 in the range D2:D10.

The following example loops through each cell in a named range by using a For Each...Next loop. If the value of any cell in the range exceeds the value of Limit, the cell color is changed to yellow.
