Class Name (Excel VBA)

The class Name represents a defined name for a range of cells. Names can be either built-in names—such as Database, Print_Area, and Auto_Open—or custom names.

Class Range gives access to class Name.


Dim nam as Name
Set nam = ActiveWorkbook.Names(Index:=1)

For Each

Here is an example of processing the Name items in a collection. 


Set newSheet = Worksheets.Add 
i = 1 
For Each nm In ActiveWorkbook.Names 
 newSheet.Cells(i, 1).Value = nm.Name 
 newSheet.Cells(i, 2).Value = "'" & nm.RefersTo 
 i = i + 1 
Next 
newSheet.Columns("A:B").AutoFit
