At Name creation, Excel defaults to Workbook; which was fine when intended with only one sheet.
Now after finishing all the formulas, I have new need which requires Sheet duplicated to same workbook.
What I need is help on, preferably non-programmatically, is all Names to remain same for maintenance purpose; but the duplicated Names are suffixed with Numbers; I believe the only way is to re-scope all Names from Global to where Sheet .

I have modified following code contributed by someone else who needs the other way round; all Names to be scoped Workbook.

My code to-date shown below

Would using the sheet name as a prefix to the named range name be workable? See here

I would create a routine that duplicates the sheet and create the named ranges for the new sheet based upon the named ranges in the duplicated sheet at the same time.

Please correct me if wrong, as someone who have been doing Excel VBA, I need to stay alert that cloning has different consequences for Names as attempted to explain below.



Sheet Clone/DuplicateName ScopeName Cloned (without extra steps)
VBAlocal/Worksheetsame
Named Formulaeglobal/Workbooksuffixed


I hastily forgot above and because the need of such calculation is one-off (at the time) to take extra step to change default to Sheet (even though there is only one Sheet).


Now after finishing all the formulas, I have new need which requires Sheet duplicated to same workbook.
What I need is help on, preferably non-programmatically, is all Names to remain same for maintenance purpose; but the duplicated Names are suffixed with Numbers; I believe the only way is to re-scope each Name to its referred Sheet.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I prefer "retrofitting" repositioned cells (duplicated sheet) with a Clickable Solution.
