How do I...

Give a cell or range a name

What to do

1. Select the cells.
2. Click the Name Box, to the left of the formula bar.
3. Type a name with no spaces, such as TaxRate.
4. Press Enter.

Good to know

• You can then write =B2*TaxRate.
• Edit or delete names under Formulas, then Name Manager.

The idea in general

A name is easier to read than a cell address, and it never moves.

What I assumed

• You are using Excel on a computer. Menus can look a little different on a Mac or in a browser.
