    First, select the range G4:J7.

    On the Formulas tab of the ribbon, click Create from Selection.

    Make sure that only the check box Top Row is ticked, then click OK.

    This creates named ranges First_First, First_Second etc. (Slashes / aren't allowed in a name, so they are replaced with underscores _).

    See the attached version.
