Removing range names.

[Laurence Lombard]

I have created a number of formulas that refer to named cells instead of the
cell references. I used the facility Insert/names/apply. I now want to
reverse this Apply process (automatically)- in other words use the cell
references instead of the names. How do I do this.

The problem is I want to copy the formulas for example
If A1 is named LENGTH and B1 contains the formula =5*LENGTH I want to change
it back to =5*A1 so that I can copy B1 to B1:B10 so that B2 would have the
formula =5*A2 and not =5*LENGTH (which refers to A1).

I am having difficulty explaining myself. I hope somebody can follow.

You probably need to delete the names. Get hold of a copy of NameManager,
http://www.jkp-ads.com/OfficeMarketPlaceNM-EN.asp , I don't know that it
will solve this, but it makes working with names a lot simpler.

Hi Laurence,

Check out this page on John Walkenbach's site:
http://www.j-walk.com/ss/pup/pup6/features.htm
& search for "unapply names:". I haven't tried actually it but the
trial version promises to do what you want.
