They received the MS Excel Workbook example, a Video Demo, as well as an AMR Audio Recording in which I explained the best practice philosoophy that guides my unconventional approach to developing custom spreadsheet automation.

In this tutorial I introduce one of the most powerful tools you can use to seriously boost your work related productivity in using MS Excel either as a user or as a VBA solutions developer/programmer.

The  simple database table used in this case study illustrate how NAMED RANGES  can make working with your spreadsheet data  much easier and less stressful/confusing or indeed error prone.

In addition, use of named ranges can help you use VBA coding more efficiently and effectively, to control MS Excel for your custom automation needs.
