    Question The last Area of Named Range Issue

    Hello,

    I have a named range called "Sh08InpRng", it has 18 areas.

    The 18 Addresses of the Range “Sh08InpRng” in The Name Manager is:

    when i use Sheet8.Range("Sh08InpRng").Adress, it shows only the address of 17 areas, and the address of the last area doesn't show. (So, When i make .Clearcontents, it clears only the first 17 areas).


    Please Login or Register  to view this content.

    The result in Immediate Window:

    The address of 18th area is $G$653:$AB$681, Doesn’t show in the immediate window.

    What is the issue?

    Thank you very much.

    If you skip the first range in de Named Range, it will show up:

    I think there was a maximum of characters to be put in a Named Range, that might be the problem.

    Re: The last Area of Named Range Issue

    Thank you Erwin for your quick reply,

    The range designed to be 18 areas, so i can't skip any area.

    Re: The last Area of Named Range Issue

    Also looping through the areas in the range may solve the issue, but, i doesn't like to use looping, i want to use single line method like Range("Sh08InpRng").address / Range ("Sh08InpRng").ClearContents.

    The Looping Method.

    Re: The last Area of Named Range Issue

    As Erwin pointed out this is a character limit issue.

    That said I was able to use the range refer to populate, colour and clear without looping.

    If you want to see the full text of the range try

    Re: The last Area of Named Range Issue

    Thank you Andy Pope,

    But how can i use .RefersToLocal to clear the range?

    i tried Range(ThisWorkbook.Names("Sh08InpRng").RefersToLocal).ClearContents and i get error.

    As I say, it works for me on my test.

    Your choices are post example so we can see the exact problem or use loops

    Re: The last Area of Named Range Issue

    I was just a bit playing with this matter and found out this worked:
    Although the Debug.print statement is showing only 17 areas, (my) Excel is working with all 18 of them!

    Re: The last Area of Named Range Issue

    Well, my solution started with the knowledge of "union", combining two sets of ranges
    from there I thought, what if I combine all the separate ranges into one and make that 1 named range.
    Without doubt my code can be written more compact, but like I said: I was just a little playing and still learning

    Cheers
    Erwin

    PS Jindon is right! Oneliner!

    Re: The last Area of Named Range Issue

    Yes, With Clearing it works.

    But how can i get the full range address [Sh08InpRng].address to use it for clearing another identical sheet like:

    Re: The last Area of Named Range Issue

    i uses the code name of the sheet. Your method Worksheet("Sheet09") if the Sheet09 is the name of the sheet.

    sheet09 hete is the code name of the sheet.

    thank you very much.

    Re: The last Area of Named Range Issue

    Yes, that's because I don't have a sheet with codename Sheet09, after all, my systemlanguage is Dutch....
    My code then would be like this:

    Re: The last Area of Named Range Issue

    RefersTo in the name acts strange to me...
    This is a work around that I can think of.
