Hello,
I created a scenario summary and in the Result Cells column, all I get is a cell reference.
Is there any way I can do a look up of that cell number located in the other tab so that the "Defined Name" of that cell displays where I wrote the "?"?
I've been searching the web for days, no luck, maybe I am not asking the right question, but I think it should be doable, right?
I also downloaded the Kutools toolbar but I don't think that would help.
PS: I don't know how to do macros, so if your solution involves a macro, please keep that in mind when explaining to me. I am willing to try anything as long as the steps are clear :-)

Thanks so much in advance!

You can equally well just type in the range names.

Hi there, thanks for your suggestion.

Yes, there is always that typing in the cell option. However I was looking more for an automatic way to have this information filled in so that every time you run a scenario, these headers are in place.


Well. It seems like I eventually found how to fix my problem. All was needed to do was to make sure that every cell that was a variable in my scenario had its matching “defined name”. And now anytime I run a different scenario, those headers are perfectly displayed.

I had never used “defined names” before until now. They're definitely a great tool that deserve more recognition! :-)

Thanks so much again for y'all for your help!
