I have many cells with data validation set to lists identified by named ranges. Does anybody know how I can use vba to return the name of the range that is assigned to each cell when it is selected and becomes the active cell?

Does the VLOOKUP table have to be sorted?
No! when you are using an exact match, the VLOOKUP table can be in any order. Best-selling items at the top is actually the best.
