How can we help you?

You can enter formulas and functions that contain names of cells/cell ranges/constants/formulas using standard methods.

You can enter a name into a formula or function in the following ways:

Manually

By means of a range field

By means of the Name manager

To enter a name manually, follow these steps:

1.Start typing the name. A drop-down list displays the names that match the search criteria.

2.Select the name using the mouse or keyboard:

Left-click the name.

Select the name with the keys ↓ and ↑ and press Enter.

If you want to enter a name using a range field, search for it as described in the Find a name with the range field section.

To enter a name using the Name manager, proceed with the following:

1.Search for a name as described in the Find with Name manager section.

2.Select a name using the mouse or keyboard:

Select a name by double-clicking.

Select the name with the keys ↓ and ↑ and press Enter.

The selected name will be inserted into the formula/function. If the name refers to a cell/range, the cell/range will be highlighted in the spreadsheet.

If necessary, you can enter a local name from another sheet into a formula/function. To do this, select the local name in the range field or in the Name manager or manually enter a reference such as 'Sheet Name'!MyName. For example, 'Sheet2'!Name_8.
