7-14 AppleWorks 5 User's Manual Note When you edit a name, AppleWorks updates all of the formulas that use the name you edited. Using named cells in formulas In the Help index,* see: E formulas, spreadsheet E named cells and ranges Once you've named cells and ranges, you can use the names in place of cell addresses in formulas. You can also use a name in a formula before it has been defined to refer to a particular cell or range. (For information on entering formulas, see "Working with formulas" on page 7-21 and onscreen Help.) To Use named cells or ranges in a formula Enter named cells or ranges in a formula before you define the names Assign a name to a cell or range Do this Select a cell and begin typing the formula. Then, add named cells or ranges where you would normally add cell and range addresses. To add a named cell or range to a formula, choose the name from the menu in the entry bar. (You can also type the name directly into the formula.) Select a cell and begin typing the formula. Then type the name you want to define, and finish entering the formula. You see #NAME! in the cell (because you haven't assigned the name to any cells yet). Select the cell or range to name and choose Define Name from the menu in the entry bar. In the Define Named Range dialog box, choose a name from the pop-up menu, and then click Define. Replacing cell references with named cells You can replace named cells or ranges (such as Shares or Price) with cell addresses (such as A5 or B1..B3) in a formula. To do so, choose Replace Names from the menu in the entry bar. To replace cell addresses with named cells or ranges in a formula, choose Replace References from the menu in the entry bar. To Replace named cells with cell addresses in formulas Do this Select the cell or range that holds the formula you want to work with. Choose Replace Names from the menu in the entry bar. Deselect the names you want to exclude from replacement with cell addresses and click Replace. * Choose Index from the or Help menu and scroll to the entry.
