Hi everyone,

Is there a way to remove a specific item from a Named range without creating a new one?
For example, I have a named range called 'Builders' in A1:A4 with Peter, John, Mark, Charles. Peter is the supervisor.
I have a formula where I need to use all of them so I use 'Builders' and I have another formula where I need all of them except for the supervisor (Peter).

Is that doable?

Thank you!!

When did Power Query debut in Excel?
Although it was an add-in in Excel 2010 & Excel 2013, Power Query became a part of Excel in 2016, in Data, Get & Transform Data.

Hey yomarcos!

You can use two name ranges one with four name and other with three name. In this way you can use your name range according to your formula.
Hope it will work.

Like below in example.

Book1.xlsm
ABC
11
2215
3314
44
55
6
Sheet1
Cell Formulas
RangeFormula
C2C2=SUM(group1)
C3C3=SUM(group2)
Named Ranges
NameRefers ToCells
group1=Sheet1!$A$1:$A$5C2
group2=Sheet1!$A$2:$A$5C2:C3

Thank you muhammad_usman. That's what I was trying to avoid. I guess I have no choice.
