Multiple Dynamic Named Ranges across Columns

[Steve]

Hi all. I have been using the following formula to create dynamic named ranges:
=OFFSET(Sheet1!$A$2,0,0,COUNTA(Sheet1!$A:$A),1)

Where A1 is the column header of the data to be included in the named range.

Now I need to create dynamic named ranges from Column A thru Column CK. Is there a way to do this with code so I don't have to manually create each one? The data in row 1 is what I would like the name of the range to be.

Thanks in advance!

Should do it
Sub MakeColumnDefinedNamesSAS()
Dim i As Long
Dim lr As Long
For i = 1 To 89
lr = Cells(Rows.Count, i).End(xlUp).Row
Range(Cells(1, i), Cells(lr, i)).Name = "col" & i
Next i
End Sub

your first name is "Test". If not, change it in the code:

Sub myNames()
Dim LCol As Integer
Dim i As Integer

LCol = Cells(1, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column
For i = 2 To LCol
ActiveWorkbook.Names.Add Name:=Cells(1, i), _
RefersTo:="=OFFSET(Test,," & i - 1 & ")"
Next
End Sub

That will not make each column dependent on the last cell in that column.
