You can use either Insert Name Create or Insert Name Define.

With text "TEST1" in A1, highlight A1:D5 choose Insert Name Create and
select Top row and Left column. This sets the range name Test1 to
A2:D5 .


Insert Name Define, Name = "Test2", type the following in the Refers
to box:

=OFFSET(Sheet1!$A$10:$D$15,0,0):OFFSET(Sheet1!$A$10,5,5)

This sets the range name "Test2" to A10:F15

Better still just select the range you're interested in and type the
name you want, in the Name box immediately above the column A heading.

I can see no reason why filters won't work with these ranges.

Hi,

thanks for your help, however, i understand how to create named ranges, but
i am wondering if it is possible to include a filter within the named range.
so for example, the named range will refer dynamically to the non zero rows
of a worksheet, where columnA = 'true'.
then when I copy and paste, the named range will only paste those non zero
rows which meet the filter criteria

thanks

If you copy and paste a filtered range, only the visible rows are pasted.

If you want non-zero rows, you need to include that criteria in your filter
