Lines: 16 Hey folks. I'm writing an excel macro to partition a mailing list into manageable chunks of addresses. What I can't figure out is how to take a macro name (as defined by SET.NAME), and turn it into a cell reference. I want to go to each row, look if it has a certain characteristic, and then copy it to another file. You can do the first part with INDEX(), but the second needs to be done with SELECT(), and SELECT() needs a cell reference. I want the cell reference corresponding to row "yrow", columns 1 through 4. How can I do it? And if you know, is there a "Inside Mac DA" style reference to Excel's macros? --Alan
