How to use named ranges in VBA?

Fast answers need clear examples.

See yellow banner at top of the page on how to attach a workbook.

Some examples:

Option Explicit

Sub Test()

Range("J2:J4").Value = Evaluate("=apple+pear")
Range("J7").Value = Evaluate("=sue apple")

Debug.Print Range("apple").Address
Debug.Print Range("orange").Address
Debug.Print Range("pear").Address

Range("K2:K4").Value = Evaluate("=" & Range("apple").Address & "+" & Range("pear").Address)
Range("K7").Value = Evaluate("=" & Range("sue").Address & " " & Range("apple").Address)

End Sub

And with mgs73's suggestions added:

Option Explicit

Sub Test()

Range("J2:J4").Value = Evaluate("=apple+pear")
Range("J7").Value = Evaluate("=sue apple")

Debug.Print Range("apple").Address
Debug.Print Range("orange").Address
Debug.Print Range("pear").Address

Range("K2:K4").Value = Evaluate("=" & Range("apple").Address & "+" & Range("pear").Address)
Range("K7").Value = Evaluate("=" & Range("sue").Address & " " & Range("apple").Address)

Debug.Print Intersect(Range("john"), Range("apple")).Value
Debug.Print Intersect(Range("john"), Range("apple")).Value + Intersect(Range("john"), Range("pear")).Value
Debug.Print Application.WorksheetFunction.Sum(Intersect(Range("john"), Union(Range("apple"), Range("pear"))))

End Sub
