    Go to the names manager and delete the ones that return a REF error. There is no way to magically delete them all at once.

    Show an example or attach a workbook for more detail.

    Hi there,

    Here's a cheap 'n' cheerful way of deleting Defined Name RANGES which contain errors:

    Please Login or Register  to view this content.

    One VERY important point! This routine should NOT be used on a workbook which contains Defined Name CONSTANTS or Defined Name FORMULAS - such Defined Names do not refer to worksheet ranges and will therefore be deleted regardless of whether or not they contain errors!

    Hope you find this interesting/useful.

    Regards,

    Greg M
