Hi

In this macro line, Application.Goto Reference:="rangename"

I need the "rangename" to be given by the contents of another cell eg A1, because it will change

I'm sure it's simple - but not to me. Thanks for your help.

Excel Facts

How can you turn a range sideways?
Copy the range. Select a blank cell. Right-click, Paste Special, then choose Transpose.
For named ranges I find it is best to store an additional sheet within the workbook. 3 columns (name of range, sheet name, description)

That way you can find the exact range and sheet. Something like below

Code:
Dim NamedRange As String, WorksheetName as String
Dim Fnd As Range, Rng As Range

   NamedRange = Sheets(xxx).Cells(1,1).Value
   Set Fnd = Sheets("NamedRangeInfo").Range("A:A").Find(NamedRange, , , xlWhole, , , False, , False)

   If Fnd Is Nothing Then
     MsgBox "Unable to Find Named Range in the information sheet", vbinformation, "Error..."
     Exit Sub
   Else
     WorksheetName = Fnd.Offset(0,1).Value
   End If

   Set Rng = ThisWorkbook.Sheets(WorksheetName).Range(NamedRange)

   Application.Goto Reference:= Rng
  
   Set Rng = Nothing
   Set Fnd = Nothing

Deleted as over complicating it, the previous post from Akuini works fine for me.

Actually I have another related question...
That solution worked fine where the range name contained the location as a range name. But I also want to make the macro select a cell (ie go to that cell), where the cell address (eg C45) is given by the content of another cell. The content varies.
