In Google Docs Spreadsheets, one can use Range Names to put labels on ranges

  • 0

In Google Docs Spreadsheets, one can use Range Names to put labels on ranges of cells to make formulas more legible. In most formulas, one can use the range C:C to denote the entire C column, and C2:C to denote the entire C column after and including C2.

Is there a way to create range names of the same nature? When I try C:C or C2:C or Sheet!C:C or ‘Sheet’!C:C I always get the error ‘The range you specified is not in a valid range format.’ I would like the range name to expand as my form adds rows to my spreadsheet. Thanks.

  1. I don’t think so… even if you select a column manually while in the Range Name selector, it complains. That would be a nice feature and it would make sense since they support column ranges for formulas already.
