So, you've named a range of cells, and ... perhaps you forgot the location.You can find a named range by using the Go To feature—which navigates to any named range throughout the entire workbook.
You can find a named range by going to the Home tab, clicking Find & Select, and then Go To.
Or, press Ctrl+G on your keyboard.
In the Go to box, double-click the named range you want to find.
To go to a range of unnamed cells, press Ctrl+G, enter the range in the Reference box, and then press Enter (or click OK). The Go to box keeps track of ranges as you enter them, and you can return to any of them by double-clicking.
To go to a cell or range on another sheet, enter the following in the Reference box: the sheet name together withan exclamation point and absolute cell references. For example: sheet2!$D$12 to go to a cell, and sheet3!$C$12:$F$21 to go to range.
You can enter multiple named ranges or cell references in the Reference box. Separating each with a comma, like this: Price, Type, or B14:C22,F19:G30,H21:H29. When you press Enter or click OK, Excel will highlight all the ranges.
Excel may stop working properly at 32,768 Named Ranges. Microsoft doesn't officially define a limit to the number of Named Ranges you can have. However, some power users have found that Microsoft Excel supports between 32,768 and 65,536 named ranges.
Here is how you can do it: Open the Name Manager: Go to the "Formulas" tab in Excel, and click on "Name Manager" in the "Defined Names" group. This will open the Name Manager dialog box. Select the Named Range: In the Name Manager dialog box, select the named range you want to check.
To activate the range finder and verify a formula in a cell, click on the "Trace Precedents" or "Trace Dependents" buttons in the "Formula Auditing" group under the "Formulas" tab. Select the cell containing the formula that you want to verify. In the Excel ribbon, go to the "Formulas" tab.
People often go overboard in naming ranges - the basic etiquette is that you should name the range that is going to be used quite often (10+ times or so) in a formula but some people will name ranges that will be used just 2–3 times in the model, so you end up with thousands of them which can make using the Excel name ...
Many times, these files become slow to open, save and update because these named ranges become embedded and hidden in the file. As a result, users (who often inherit these files) have trouble making these files efficient and usable, and end up stressing out and losing a ton of time.
Range names are names used to refer to cell references, formula results, or values. They are often used to avoid hard-coded values appearing in formulas and to make formulas clearer in general. They are stored in what is known as the Name Manager in Excel.
Select the range you want to name, including the row or column labels. Click Formulas > Create from Selection. In the Create Names from Selection dialog box, select the checkbox (es) depending on the location of your row/column header. If you have only a header row at the top of the table, then just select Top row.
