In my experience many names just serve to clutter the file. Tell us what you want to do with the named ranges along with any related macro you have developed and you will bet comments.

I REALLY think this is a BAD idea in that there are other and BETTER ways to do this without cluttering your project with a bunch of names . But, if you
insist.

Sub namecolumns()
dim I as long
For i = 1 To Cells(1, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column
Cells(1, i).Resize(Cells(Rows.Count, i).End(xlUp).Row).Name = Cells(1, i)
Next i
End Sub

Subject: $$Excel-Macros$$ Creating and naming multiple ranges

Hello, I have a spreadsheet and It has many columns and I want to
create a range for each column automatically and name it based on the
value at the top row. Unfortunately, this code i created doesn't work.
Can anyone help me fix this code?

Any help would be great!

Sub test()

Dim icol As Integer
Dim cell1(200), cell2, rng(200) As Range
j = 1
For icol = 1 To 121

    Set cell1(j) = Cells(1, icol)
    Set cell2 = cell1(j).End(xlDown)
    Set rng(j) = Range(cell1(j), cell2)

    rng(j).Name = cell1(j)
    rng(j).Select

    j = j + 1

Next icol

End Sub
