Variable names for named range

[Guest]

I'd like to reference a named range that is variable.

Let's say I have a Range called "Program_1_2" and A1 = 1 and B1 = 2

How do I do something like this "Program_"&A1&"_"&B1 and get it to display?

Thanks,
Barb Reinhardt

I should have posted that I tried using that before I posted this request and
I get a #REF error.

Hi Barb,

Are there any invisible characters in A1 or B1? Check with the LEN() function.
I assume you use A1 reference style, not R1C1.

No invisible characters
I'm also using the A1 reference style.
