Dear experts,

I have a file, which has got about 200 named ranges. The file is not confidential/proprietary infomation.

Can I please request a macro which name the named range in column A, then range to which the named range pertains. In the macro you provide other details also to be included, which I may not know are important.

Hi,


I appreciate that English may not be your first language, but I am struggling to understand your requirements (within the first sentence in this paragraph):
Can I please request a macro which name the named range in column A, then range to which the named range pertains. In the macro you provide other details also to be included, which I may not know are important.

Please can you either provide an example of what you require, or re-word your requirements?

Thanks.

BFN,

Hi fanpages,

I need a macro which could do the following:

1. List the several 'name ranges'
2. Provide details like sheet name and cell range to which the name pertains to.


If the expert believes that a name range could include other details (not requested be me in either 1 or 2), then the macro could list the same

The output shall be provided by the macro by creating a new sheet in the file.

Sorry for my negligence.

Thank you

Hi fanpages,

Thank you for the comment, but I am getting an error and unable to run the code referred by you.


I found the below code from ID: 20473902.

Sub ListNamedRanges()
Dim wb As Workbook, ws As Worksheet, sh As Worksheet, nm As Name

Set wb = ActiveWorkbook
Set ws = wb.Worksheets.Add

ws.Range("A1:C1").Value = Array("Name", "Refers To", "Sheet/Workbook")

For Each nm In wb.Names
    With ws.Cells(ws.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Offset(1)
        .Value = nm.Name
        .Offset(0, 1) = "'" & nm.RefersTo
        .Offset(0, 2) = wb.Name
    End With
Next nm

For Each sh In wb.Worksheets
    For Each nm In sh.Names
        With ws.Cells(ws.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Offset(1)
            .Value = nm.Name
            .Offset(0, 1) = "'" & nm.RefersTo
            .Offset(0, 2) = sh.Name
        End With
    Next nm
Next sh

ws.UsedRange.AutoFormat Format:=xlRangeAutoFormatSimple

End Sub

The code provided me with the required output.

Thank you
