Naming a cell

Hi everyone

I was wondering how I can rename a cell reference. For example I would
like to rename cell A1 reference: "Mike".

So if I put 20 in cell A1 and I want to add it to cell A2 to equal A3
then I would type: mike+A2=A3 rather than A1+A2=A3

Please help,

Mike (aka A1...hehe)

Select the cell..........

Insert > Name > Define.........type in Mike

Vaya con Dios,
Chuck, CABGx3

PS, the formula in A3 should be =mike+A2

Select A1; in the name box type Mike and press ENTER (most important)
Now type a number in A1
In A2 type another number
In A3 type =mike + A2

Read Help to use Name | Create to name a block of cells
Or buy a book if you really want to learn the basics
