If cell A1 is named 'dog' and cell A2 is named 'cat' and I have a formula in cell A3 that is '=dog+cat', does anyone know a quick way to get the formula to turn back to '=A1+A2'?

Thanks for the help...

Which lookup functions find a value equal or greater than the lookup value?
MATCH uses -1 to find larger value (lookup table must be sorted ZA). XLOOKUP uses 1 to find values greater and does not need to be sorted.
Sort by date Sort by votes
Good idea, but I am hoping for something quicker. I have a lot of formulas with a lot of different names.
