...Subsection: Things to know about named ranges
- Named ranges are always absolute references
- There's no such
thing as a named range that changed when used in a formula. This makes
sense, if you think about it: you wouldn't want a single name referring to
more than one place on the spreadsheet, or you'd get incredibly confused.
- Named ranges can be any size
- You can name as large or small a range
as you like. In particular, you can name exactly one cell, which is a lot
more useful than you might think.
- You should almost always use a named range instead of an absolute
cell address
- Named ranges are absolute, and they're so much easier
to read that you're almost always much better off using a named range.
