- On the Insert menu, point to Name, and then click Define.
- In the Names in workbook list, click the name whose reference you want to check.
The Refers to box displays the reference, formula, or constant (constant: A value that is not calculated and, therefore, does not change. For example, the number 210, and the text "Quarterly Earnings" are constants. An expression, or a value resulting from an expression, is not a constant.) the name represents.
Tip
You can also create a list of the available names in a workbook. Locate an area with two empty columns on the worksheet (the list will contain two columns— one for the name and one for a description of the name). Select a cell that will be the upper-left corner of the list. On the Insert menu, point to Name, and then click Paste. In the Paste Name dialog box, click Paste List.
