Defining ranges

[Sivodsi]

In a reply to my thread "the terror of advancing cell numbers" a ver
helpful reply was given:

\"OR YOU COULD DEFINE A RANGE NAME THAT POINTS AT A1:Z100.

SELECT YOUR RANGE AND TYPE:
MYRNG
(OR WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT)
AND HIT ENTER

THEN YOUR =VLOOKUP() BECOMES:

=VLOOKUP(A1,MYRNG,2,FALSE

I have tried this but could not quite do it. Selecting the range is n
problem, of course, but where do I type "myrng" (or whatever I wish t
call it)? Can someone help this poor newb with more precise direction
for defining ranges?

Thanks Davi

Hi Sivodsi,

Type the name in the name box which immediately above cell A1 and below the
toolbars.

Don't forget to press Enter after typing the name!

And sorry about my missing:

And type
MYRNG into the namebox--just to the left of the formula bar
and hit enter.

(glad you got it working)
