I have a workbook with hundreds of names. As a result, the Name Manager is hard to navigate--see the image below. Additionally, nearly all my names are defined on a workbook level and refer to ranges, not tables. Consequently, the Name Manager's conventional filter options are useless for finding a specific name. Is there any way to use Auto-Filter style filtering options in the Name Manager?

Excel Facts

Using Function Arguments with nested formulas
If writing INDEX in Func. Arguments, type MATCH(. Use the mouse to click inside MATCH in the formula bar. Dialog switches to MATCH.
You could transfer the information to a worksheet and filter there:


Code:
Sub Tbl()
Dim n As Name, r As Range, w As Workbook, i%
Set w = ActiveWorkbook
[a1] = "Name"
[b1] = "Refers To"
Set r = [a2]
For i = 1 To w.Names.Count
    r = w.Names(i).Name
    r.Offset(, 1) = "'" & w.Names(i).RefersTo
    Set r = r.Offset(1)
Next
End Sub
