Intersecting Named Ranges - One Common Range

Can anyone shed some light on how to find the intersection of one named range with other named ranges?

My thought was to loop through the named ranges excluding the common one, and add them to an array. I haven't found how to do this.

Here is the code, including all my thoughts and attempts.

The section with, For Each num In Range("Qty") works. This is the formula I want to apply to all ranges that intersect with the dynamic 'Qty' range defined in a single column.

Code: 
Dim theName As Range
Sub TrueCost()
    Dim num As Variant, A As Variant, B As Variant, C As Variant
    'Dim theName As Range
    For Each Name In ThisWorkbook.Names
    rngNames (Name)
    Next
    'For Each num In Range("Qty")
        'num.Offset(1, -1).Value = (num.offset(0,1).value * range("G2") /_
100 + num.offset(0,1).value) / num.offset(0,0).value + range("H2") /_
 count(offset($D$2,0,0,count($A:$A),0))
        'A = (num.Offset(1, 1).Value * Range("G2").Value / 100 +_
 num.Offset(1, 1).Value) / num.Offset(1, 0).Value + Range("H2") /_
 Range("Qty").Offset(1, 0).Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants).Count
        'B = Range("Qty").Rows(num.Offset(1, 0, 0, Range("Qty").Count, 0))
        'C = Range("Qty").Offset(1, 0).Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants).Count
        'MsgBox "Value = " & A
    'Next
    
End Sub

Sub rngNames(theName)
    Dim R As Range
    Dim RN As Name
    Set RN = ThisWorkbook.Names(theName)
    On Error Resume Next
    Set R = RN.RefersToRange
    Debug.Print R
End Sub
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Best,

Brad

What does custom number format of ;;; mean?
Three semi-colons will hide the value in the cell. Although most people use white font instead.

I have been playing with INTERSECT, but haven't been able to get what I am looking for. I don't know how to set it up within the code I have.

I'm not really clear on what you are trying to achieve. Can you spell it out in more detail?

Here is a sample format of what the data looks like and the defined ranges:

Sheet1​




The Blue column is the "common" named range I was referring to. This named range is "Qty" in the code.

So, the intent is to apply a formula to each cell in the common range that intersects with Range1, then repeat where the common range intersects with Range2, then Range3.... etc.

The code I have now, in the For Each loop, applies the formula for all cells with values in the common range. This skews results based on the average calculated in the formula.

BTW, I am running Excel 2007 on an XP x32 machine.

Thanks,

Brad

I'm still not completely clear and I know you don't want to 'select' the ranges, but do either of these help?

I should have cleaned up the code I posted originally. The idea was to pass on everything I was working to help show the process. Seems to cause more confusion than anything else.

The formula is:

Code: 
num.Offset(1, -1).Value = (num.offset(0,1).value * range("G2") /_
 100 + num.offset(0,1).value) / num.offset(0,0).value + range("H2") /_
 count(offset($D$2,0,0,count($A:$A),0))

How is the formula relevant to finding the intersections of the ranges?

Thanks,

Brad

I think I may be misunderstanding what you are trying to do. Earlier you said...

"So, the intent is to apply a formula to each cell in the common range that intersects with Range1, then repeat where the common range intersects with Range2, then Range3.... etc."

That sounded to me like you wanted to put a physical formula in the cells where the defined name Qty's range intersected the defined name ranges Range1, Range2 and Range3 for the table you posted. But in answer to my question to show me the formula (that you wanted to end up in the cells), you gave me a code line that appears to put calculated values in cells offset from the cells for the previously mentioned intersection. So I am confused as to what you are asking us here? Can you clarify this for us? Oh, and the code you posted (quoted above) seems to have a syntax error somewhere... when I delete the line continuation characters and try to put it all on one line, the statement shows in red indicating a syntax error.

One of the worst notation decisions in the history of the world (IMO) is Excel's use of the space as an intersection operator.

The formula =NameOne NameTwo returns the range that is the intersection of NameOne and NameTwo.

In VBA
Code: 
MsgBox Range("NameOne NameTwo").Cells.Count
