Defining and Using Name Ranges

how do i create a hidden name range

RE: Defining and Using Name Ranges

Hello Melissa,

Thank you for your question regarding named ranges.

Unfortunately, there is no way of hiding a hidden name directly through Excel. This would have to be done through VBA.

But to point you in the right direction the code would look like this:
Sub HideNames()
ActiveWorkbook.Names("qwerty1").Visible = False

End Sub

The name of your range replaces the "qwerty1" above.

Not sure in what context you would want to hide the named range!


I hope this resolves your question. If it has, please mark this question as resolved.

If you require further assistance, please reply to this post. Or perhaps you have another Microsoft Office question?

Have a great day.
Regards,

Mark

Excel tip:

Showing all menu items

If you go into a pull down menu you usally find that you get a selection of items(this is the default) or sometimes everything. If you only get a selectiopn you have to go to the double arrows at the bottom of the menu and click it to get all of the hidden items.
To turn this off so that you always get everything, go to Tools / Customize / Options Tab / "Always show full menus". Make sure there is a tick in the box and you will always have every item.
