I have used that plenty before, but the way you said it, I thought you were referring to arguments in the named ranges like =getname(A1)
Using a named range like you just described works good for the one value, but if I have 30 values in A that I want to use a vlookup for, I don't want to have to make 30 named ranges
I'll take a look at that paper later on tonight, though. Thanks for the link
