Question

3. Liam also wants to use defined names in other calculations to help him interpret the formulas. In the range d4:d8, create defined names based on the values in the range c4:c8

Answer 1

To use defined names based on the values in range C4:C8 for the corresponding cells in D4:D8 in Excel, use the 'Create from Selection' function and ensure that the 'Left column' option is checked to name each cell after the adjacent cell's content.

Step-by-step explanation:

To create defined names in Excel based on the values in the range C4:C8 and apply them to the corresponding cells in the range D4:D8, you need to follow these steps:

1. Select the range C4:C8 that contains the names you want to define.
2. Go to the Formulas tab and choose 'Create from Selection' or press Ctrl + Shift + F3.
3. In the 'Create Names from Selection' dialog box, ensure that only the 'Left column' option is checked, as this is where your names are located.
4. Click OK to create the defined names.
5. Now, you can use these names in other calculations by simply typing the name that corresponds to the value in range D4:D8.

This process effectively names each cell in D4:D8 after the adjacent cell's content in C4:C8, making your formulas easier to read and interpret.
