Usually, when you name a range, the name is at the workbook level, meaning that one name refers to a specified range on a specified worksheet wherever it is used in the workbook.

Address Data by Name

Although cell numbers are at the foundation of everything Excel does, but sometimes you may want to use more descriptive names for your cells (or ranges), such as "Item Number" and "Quantity", instead of "A1:A100". This can make your formulas and references easier to understand and maintain. Excel allows you to create and use names for your cells, ranges, tables, and other objects.
