    Macro to define names for multiple ranges

    Hi guys,

    I hope one of you gents can help me with the following issue.

    I am trying to create a macro that would define names for each column in the attached sheet. I wanted the range's name to be the value in the first row and the range to be the last 90 values in the column. Right now I have three sets of data, but I would add more.Example00.xlsx

    Thanks in advance!!

    Highlight Range A1:XXXXX90, Go to Formulas, under defined names group, click on Create from selection, check Top row check box only.

    Hi, thanks for your quick reply.
    However, that is not exactly what I am looking for, perhaps I wasn't 100% clear - pls excuse my english.

    I wanted a range for each column, refering to the last 90 entries, named after the first cell in the column. For example (in the example workbook), a range called Data1 for A166:1255, a range called ITSA4 for B166:B255, and so on.

    Thanks again!

    Oh... try . Some of the character is not useable for name range, so the macro skips the column that name cannot be used for name range

    Thanks a lot, JieJenn, it does work well.

    To make it even better, is there a way to modify the formula so it would always get the last 90 entries, even after I add more? Something like offset.

    Thanks again!

    The macro will look at the column range regardless how many entries and then name range based on the last 90 items.
