Named Ranges

A named range is one or more cells that have been given a name. Using named ranges can make formulas easier to read and understand. Named ranges provide an easy method to define visual areas and print areas. They also provide simple navigation via the Name Box. You can assign a name to a range of cells within a Tabulation. You can subsequently use this range for future operations.
