How to obtain a list of named range exist in a specific worksheet that start with particular string (for example all named range that start with total) and grab the value? I
Here is some code that checks if a Defined Name starts with a string and refers to a range within the used range of a given worksheet and workbook.
Option Explicit
Option Compare Text
Sub FindNames()
Dim oNM As Name
Dim oSht As Worksheet
Dim strStartString As String
strStartString = "Total"
Set oSht = Worksheets("TestSheet")
For Each oNM In ActiveWorkbook.Names
If oNM.Name Like strStartString & "*" Then
If IsNameRefertoSheet(oSht, oNM) Then
MsgBox oNM.Name
End If
End If
Next oNM
End Sub
Function IsNameRefertoSheet(oSht As Worksheet, oNM As Name) As Boolean
Dim oSheetRange As Range
IsNameRefertoSheet = False
On Error GoTo GoExit
If Not oSht Is Nothing Then
If Range(oNM.Name).Parent.Name = oSht.Name And _
Range(oNM.Name).Parent.Parent.Name = oSht.Parent.Name Then
Set oSheetRange = oSht.Range("A1").Resize(oSht.UsedRange.Row + oSht.UsedRange.Rows.Count - 1, oSht.UsedRange.Column + oSht.UsedRange.Columns.Count - 1)
If Not Intersect(Range(oNM.Name), oSheetRange) Is Nothing Then IsNameRefertoSheet = True
Set oSheetRange = Nothing
End If
End If
Exit Function
GoExit:
End Function
