Spreadsheet Functions
Named Range
Definition
A user-defined name assigned to a cell or range of cells, making formulas easier to read and maintain. Instead of writing =SUM(B2:B100), you can name that range "MonthlyExpenses" and write =SUM(MonthlyExpenses). In Google Sheets, create named ranges via Data > Named ranges. Named ranges make templates more professional and less error-prone because formulas read like plain English.
