All.

 

I wanted to pass along something I've been working on that is proving very
valuable.

 

This trick will let you define a region in excel that will allow you to
function within that region independently of all other regions you set
within the sheet or workbook.  It's a very nice feature when you want to set
a format for a particular group of cells such as an address block etc.  you
can even produce pivot tables from these regions independently for analysis.

 

You may also set the widths of these collums and heights of these rows
independently of the surrounding columns or rows and you may also then set
jaws to read the titles of said rows and columns independently of other
regions you have within the sheet and that is the beauty. 

 

So here goes..Typically a work sheet has a default of 1 data region.  In
order to customize the sheet so that what you do within the data set/region
you are working only effects that working area you must define each region
independently.  Here's how:

1.    First, select the range of cells you want to set as your defined
region: Put the focus on the cell in the top left of the data region then
Cntrl+shift+8 selects the region automatically. Or, you can simply use the
go tofeature or select the cells manually.

2.    Press ALT+M M D to move to define names from the Formulas tab 

3.    Don't define the name of your data region using spaces.

4.    Tab to "Scope" and enter the combo box to select the scope of your
region..Choose workbook or sheet.

Tap OK and there you have it.
