Here's how:. In addition to named ranges, Microsoft Excel allows you to define a name without cell reference that will work as a named constant. As soon as the exchange rate changes, you update the value only in one central location, and all of your formulas will get recalculated in a single step!
In a similar manner, you can give a name to an Excel formula, for example, the one that returns the count of non-empty cells in column A, excluding the header row -1 :. In this example, we have headers in the top row and left column, so we select these two options:.
As the result, Excel will create 7 named ranges, picking up names from the headers automatically:. In all previous examples, we have been dealing with static named ranges that always refer to the same cells, meaning you would have to update the range reference manually whenever you want to add new data to the named range.
If you are working with expandable data sets, it stands to reason to create a dynamic named range that accommodates newly added data automatically. In terms of Excel names, scope is the location, or level, within which the name is recognized. It can be either:. A worksheet-level name is recognized within the worksheet where it is located. For example, if you create a named range and set its scope to Sheet1 , it will be recognized only in Sheet1. To be able to use a worksheet-level name in another worksheet , you must prefix the worksheet's name followed by the exclamation point!
To reference a worksheet-level name in another workbook , you should also include the workbook name enclosed in square brackets:. If either the sheet name or workbook name contains spaces , they should be enclosed in single quotation marks:. A workbook-level name is recognized within the entire workbook, and you can refer to it simply by name from any sheet in the same workbook.
A use to a workbook-level name in another workbook , precede the name with the workbook name including the extension followed by the exclamation point:. A defined name must be unique within its scope. You can use the same name in different scopes, but this might create a name conflict. To prevent this from happening, by default, the worksheet level takes precedence over the workbook level.
If there are a few identically named ranges with different scopes, and you want to use the workbook level name, prefix the name with the workbook name as if you were referring to a name in another workbook, e.
This way, the name conflict can be overridden for all worksheets except for the first sheet, which always uses the local worksheet level name. As its name suggests, the Excel Name Manager is specially designed to manage names: change, filter, or delete existing names as well as create new ones.
Either way, the Name Manager dialog window will open, letting you see all names in the current workbook at a glance. Now, you can select the name you want to work with, and click one of the 3 buttons at the top of the window to perform the corresponding action: edit , delete or filter.
To change an existing Excel name, open the Name Manager , select the name, and click the Edit… button. This will open the Edit Name dialog box where you can change the name and reference. The scope of the name cannot be changed. To edit a name reference , you do not need to open the Edit Name dialog box.
Just select the name of interest in the Excel Name Manager , and type a new reference directly in the Refers to box, or click the button at the right and select the desired range on the sheet. After you click the Close button, Excel will ask if you want to save the changes, and you click Yes.
If you have a lot of names in a certain workbook, click the Filter button at the top right corner of the Excel Name Manager window to view only the names relevant at a given time.
The following filters are available:. To delete a named range , select it in the Name Manager and click the Delete button at the top. To delete several names , click the first name, then press the Ctrl key and hold it while clicking other names you want to remove. Then click the Delete button, and all selected names will be deleted in one go. To delete all defined names in a workbook, select the first name in the list, press and hold the Shift key, and then click the last name.
Release the Shift key and click Delete. Change the column label? Asked 7 years, 10 months ago. Active 3 years, 2 months ago. Viewed k times. Can anyone tell me how to change the column label?
