Using named ranges

Hi,

I have attached a sample file.  

I have 2 named ranges: start and end.

If I use the names in a formula, data is selected from the same column.

I would like to reference a different column, for instance: start year 2001 = 2 * end year 2000.

How can I accomplish this using formulas with named ranges? 

  • Hi chris15 ,

    Let me know if this works for you:

    You need to reference the cells in a different way, unfreezing the column. I mean, instead of $E$3 type E$3 and the formula will  change every time you drag it.

    If this solution fits your request, please mark as a best response to help others.

    Regards!
