It is possible to override the local worksheet level for all worksheets in the workbook, except for the first worksheet. This can be circumvented by adding a prefix to the name, eg, rename it “WorkbookFile_Profit” instead. The local worksheet level takes precedence over the global workbook level. To resolve this conflict, Excel uses the name that is defined for the worksheet by default. In this case, there may be a name conflict. You can even define the same name, such as “Profit”, for the global workbook level, but again this scope is unique.
You might do this to ensure that a formula that uses the name “GrossProfit”, for example, is always referencing the same cells at the local worksheet level. Although each name is the same, each name is unique within its scope. For example, you can define a name, such as “Profit”, that is scoped to Sheet1, Sheet2, and Sheet3 in the same workbook. However, you can use the same name with different scopes. Excel prevents you from defining a name that is not unique within its scope. Therefore, workbook scope makes for clearer range names and avoids confusion.Ī name must always be unique within its scope. If the scope was to a worksheet (say, Sheet1), then the range name would be “Sheet1!Cashflow” instead. If you have defined a name, such as “Cashflow”, and its scope is the workbook, that name is recognised for all worksheets in that workbook (but not for any other workbook). To use this local name in another worksheet, you must qualify it by preceding it with the localised worksheet name: The scope of a name is the location within which the name is recognised without qualification.įor example, if you have defined a range name as “Profit” with its scope as Sheet1, rather than Workbook, then it will be recognised as “Profit” only in Sheet1 (ie, without qualification). All names have a scope, either to a specific worksheet (also called the local worksheet level) or to the entire workbook (also called the global workbook level).

'Clear out any artifacts from previous macro runs, then set up the target range with the validation data. 'On the target worksheet, create a range 8 cells long in column D.

'The current Excel workbook and worksheet, a range to define the data to be validated, and the target range Sub Add_Data_Validation_From_Other_Worksheet() This validation data is used to validate data entered on Sheet1 in the range D2:D10. This example requires the validation data to be on Sheet 2 in the range A2:A100. This example uses a named range as the formula for data validation. ActiveWorkbook.Names("mySortRange").Delete The following example deletes the name mySortRange from the active workbook. Use Names ( index), where index is the name index number or defined name, to return a single Name object. The following example creates a new name that refers to cells A1:C20 on the worksheet named Sheet1. Use the Add method to create a name and add it to the collection.

The following example creates a list of all the names in the active workbook, plus the addresses that they refer to. Use the Names property of the Workbook object to return the Names collection. To specify an absolute reference, use "=sheet1!$A$1:$B$1". For example, if cell A10 is selected on Sheet1 and you define a name by using the RefersTo argument "=sheet1!A1:B1", the new name actually refers to cells A10:B10 (because you specified a relative reference). The RefersTo argument must be specified in A1-style notation, including dollar signs ($) where appropriate. Names can be either built-in names-such as Database, Print_Area, and Auto_Open-or custom names. RemarksĮach Name object represents a defined name for a range of cells. A collection of all the Name objects in the application or workbook.
