Looking for a bit of help from a VBA noob here.

I'm trying to write a vba which will define a name of a table based on the range which is defined as text in a cell (this is to let me easily control the range of the table array based on its content).

The code I've been using is:

VBA Code:
Range("B8:E40").Select
    ActiveWorkbook.Names.Add Name:="Beam_Summary1", RefersToR1C1:= _
        "='Beam Summary'!R8C2:R40C5"

I've got Cell P15 on worksheet 'Beam Summary' which defines the range of the table array and want to be able to introduce that instead of the range select and "='Beam Summary'!R8C2:R40C5" in the code above. I've tried defining a variable and using that but not really having any luck. Any ideas?

Copy PDF to Excel
Select data in PDF. Paste to Microsoft Word. Copy from Word and paste to Excel.
Welcome to the Forum!

If 'Beam Summary'!P15 contains: B8:E40, then:
VBA Code:
Range(Worksheets("Beam Summary").Range("P15").Value).Name = "Beam_Summary1"
will create BeamSummary1: ='Beam Summary'!$B$8:$E$40
