--- Comment #3 from Mike Kaganski <mikekagan...@hotmail.com> --- As for "not a good practice", etc. It is a very *good* practice. It allows one to create very good, readable, manageable formulas for calculations in tables. Consider this example: you have a rectangular table of travel times and vehicle speeds; B1:Z1 is the row of speeds (you create a *named range* named "V_Speed"), and A2:A100 is the column of times (you create a *named range* named "T_Time"). Now, you put this formula to B2: =V_Speed * T_Time and it calculates you the distance the vehicle traveled. You just copy it to the whole range of B2:Z100, and it works as expected. And what's important, it uses semantical names for the "variables", instead of unreadable "$A$2:$A$100", which doesn't tell you what it is by itself. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
