In Excel, you can create names that refer to cells, or to a constant value, or a formula. After you create Excel names, you can use them in formulas, or quickly go to a named range. There are rules for Excel Names, and here’s what Microsoft says is allowed. It seems clear, but a few of the rules aren’t as ironclad as they look: 1. The first charact...
It’s easy to name a range of cells – here’s what I usually do (there’s a video at the end of this article too): 1. Select the cells that you want to name 2.
