    Defind a Named Range based on a cell value

    My gut is saying this is impossible, but I figured I could ask since it will make my life easier if it can be achieved


    Say I have a column B10-B20 and the user enters some value into some or all of these cells

    Now is it possible to have a named range that the value would =B10 but also that the name itself of that item would also be dynamic so say someone enters "widget" into B10 the named range would be something like: =CONCATENATE(something,B10)

    Like I said I doubt its feasible but would be really nice if it can be managed.



    Thanks.

    Any chance you could upload a sample workbook?

    Re: Defind a Named Range based on a cell value

    Sure, Basically in this example I will have Columns B,C,E COlumns D and F are what I would like the named range to be for the cell to its left So If possible I would have C6 have a name of D6 and E7 having a name that is F7

    I wont know the names people enter if need be I'll make the names be like APIIDuser1 or APICODEuser2 etc but I'm just trying to see if there is a way to get the contents of Columns B into the named range.

    well I have managed what I want to do after a fashion... I still have a few issues but this is what I've managed so far.

    I still need to apply this to more than 1 cell, preferably a range of cells or even a full column
