How to add named ranges to sheet and workbook without specifying range details?

Aspose.Cells Product Family

Can I create a named range and add to sheet without using Range()? The demo I found has to specify the range to be referred, like below:

Workbook workbook = new Workbook();
Worksheet worksheet = workbook.getWorksheets().get(0);

range = worksheet.getCells().createRange(“B4”, “G14”);
range.setName(“TestRange”);
format
workbook.save(“C:\output.xls”);


Is there a way for us to do sth like:
Name name = new name() //don’t what is the constructor signature
name.setRefersTo(…)
worksheet.addName(name)…

Is that possible? Please let me know, thank you.

Hi,

I think, may be you can try, see the following sample code with Aspose.Cells for Java API:
Sample code:

Workbook workbook = new Workbook();
Worksheet sheetRef = workbook.getWorksheets().get(0);
NameCollection names = workbook.getWorksheets().getNames();
String strName = "test";
Name name = names.get(names.add(strName));
name.setRefersTo("=Sheet1!$A$1:$B$3");
//Make it invisible.
name.setVisible(false);

workbook.save("3outnamerange.xlsx");



Thank you.
