I have many cells with data validation set to lists identified by named ranges. Does anybody know how I can use vba to return the name of the range that is assigned to each cell when it is selected and becomes the active cell?

Use a custom number format of #,##0,K. Each comma after the final 0 will divide the displayed number by another thousand
