<paragraph id="par_id3154512" role="paragraph" xml-lang="en-US">In the example spreadsheet, you can use the string <item type="literal">'Column One'</item> in a formula to refer to the cell range <item type="literal">B3</item> to <item type="literal">B5</item>, or <item type="literal">'Column Two'</item> for the cell range <item type="literal">C2</item> to <item type="literal">C5</item>. You can also use <item type="literal">'Row One'</item> for the cell range <item type="literal">B3</item> to <item type="literal">D3</item>, or <item type="literal">'Row Two'</item> for the cell range <item type="literal">B4</item> to <item type="literal">D4</item>. The result of a formula that uses a cell name, for example, <item type="literal">SUM('Column One')</item>, is 600.</paragraph>
<paragraph id="par_id3155443" role="paragraph" xml-lang="en-US">This function is active by default.

<paragraph id="par_id3149210" role="tip" xml-lang="en-US">If you want a name to be automatically recognized by Calc, the name must start with a letter and be composed of alphanumeric characters. If you enter the name in the formula yourself, enclose the name in single quotation marks ('). If a single quotation mark appears in a name, you must enter a backslash in front of the quotation mark, for example, <item type="literal">'Harry\'s Bar'</item>.</paragraph>
