Managing Names in a Table

You can manage table names just similar to how you manage range names with Name Manager.

  • Click the Table.
  • Click Name Manager in the Defined Names group on the Formulas tab.

The Name Manager dialog box appears and you can find the Table Names in your workbook.

You can Edit a Table Name or add a comment with the new option in the Name Manager dialog box. However, you cannot change the range in Refers to.

You can Create Names with column headers to use in formulas, charts, etc.

  • Click the Column Header EmployeeID in the Table.
  • Click Name Manager.
  • Click New in the Name Manager dialog box.

The New Name dialog box appears.

In the Name box, you can find the Column Header, and in the Reference box, you will find Emp_Data[[#Headers],[EmployeeID]].
