78. Using named ranges
Using Named Ranges
**Named Ranges** in Excel let you assign a meaningful name to a cell or a range of cells.
Instead of using cell references like A1:A10
, you can use names like SalesData
in your formulas.
This makes your spreadsheets easier to read and maintain.
Steps to Create and Use Named Ranges
- Step 1: Select the cell or range of cells you want to name.
- Step 2: Click on the Name Box (left of the formula bar) and type the desired name (e.g.,
SalesData
). - Step 3: Press Enter to assign the name.
- Step 4: Use the named range in your formulas (e.g.,
=SUM(SalesData)
).
