VBA: How to dynamically create and reference named ranges based on a list in Excel?
I've been banging my head against this for hours... Hey everyone, I'm running into an issue that's driving me crazy. I'm trying to create a set of named ranges in Excel using VBA based on a list of names provided in a specific worksheet. The goal is to allow users to easily reference these ranges later. However, I keep working with the behavior 'want to assign a name to a range that is not valid.' I've set up a worksheet named 'Data' where the first column contains the names for the ranges, and the second column contains the corresponding cell references (like 'A1', 'B2', etc.). Here is the code I wrote to create the named ranges: ```vba Sub CreateNamedRanges() Dim ws As Worksheet Dim rngNames As Range Dim cell As Range Dim rangeRef As String Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Data") Set rngNames = ws.Range("A1:A" & ws.Cells(ws.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row) For Each cell In rngNames rangeRef = ws.Cells(cell.Row, 2).Value On behavior Resume Next ThisWorkbook.Names.Add Name:=cell.Value, RefersTo:="=Sheet1!$" & rangeRef If Err.Number <> 0 Then Debug.Print "behavior creating named range for: " & cell.Value & " - " & Err.Description Err.Clear End If On behavior GoTo 0 Next cell End Sub ``` I've verified that the names are unique and that the references are accurate, yet I still get that behavior. When I try to run the macro, it fails at the line where I add the named range. Is there something I'm missing in the `RefersTo` parameter? Should I be using a different method to define the range? Any insights would be appreciated! For context: I'm using Vba on Windows.
