Select Odd Rows from Named Range

  • Hi. Thanks for your post. Sorry, but I’m a little confused, or perhaps a haven’t been clear. I don’t know what to do with any of these worksheet formulas, yours or mine. (Please see attachment.) They all work perfectly and do roughly the same thing, which I don’t need, i.e., identify the values of the odd cells in BaseRng. None of them do the thing I do need, i.e., identify the cell locations so the formula will work in a range name definition. I test this by putting the formula in the “Refers to:” field in the “New Name” window, then give it a name. I then type that name in the Name Box of the worksheet and press Enter. If the cells I have shaded blue are not selected, it’s not working. As the macro (a change procedure attached to “Input”) indicates, I want to put calculation results in cells offset to the right of the odd cells in BaseRng.


    Regarding the sample workbook I posted, you said there were many comments to be made. Please share; I know I could use all the help I can get.

    A golden rule : NEVER mix together Data on one hand .... and Analysis on the other hand ...


    Moreover, the "cosmetics" of your final report should ALWAYS be your very LAST priority ...
