I have defined a name for a data range in an excel file. Now I want to use the same name in different excel file. I tried through various sources but not sure how to do that.
Current Soln: I am copying the data from the source file and re-defining the names for the range. But this seems to be duplicate and creates unnecessary space.
Please let me know a good approach for this.
 

Excel Facts

Copy formula down without changing references
If you have =SUM(F2:F49) in F50; type Alt+' in F51 to copy =SUM(F2:F49) to F51, leaving the formula in edit mode. Change SUM to COUNT.
Assume that you'd defined a name "xyz" in book1.xlsx, try use "book1!xyz" in book2.xlsx and that should works.
