I'm trying to save time and generate a script to prepare OFFSET and INDEX formulas and apply with defined Names. My MAIN worksheet has 55 zip codes with references to their columns in Z-DATA worksheet. One column is the monthly median price history; the other is the monthly momentum (EMA) based on the monthly price history.

E.g., in the MAIN worksheet:

------A----------B-------------------C---------------------------------------------------------------
1 -- 90101 -- Z_ZIP_mom -- =OFFSET('Z-Data'!$mmm$2,1,0,COUNT('Z-Data'!$mmm$3:$mmm$2000),1)
2 -- AC -- Z_ZIP_nbr -- =OFFSET('Z-Data'!$nnn$2,1,0,COUNT('Z-Data'!$nnn$3:$nnn$2000),1)
3 -- AA -- Z_ZIP_pt -- =INDEX(Z_ZIP_nbr,COUNTA(Z_ZIP_nbr))

The desired end result is to have 3 defined names added to the Name Manager for each zip code

(e.g.,
Z_90101_mom, =OFFSET('Z-Data'!$AC$2,1,0,COUNT('Z-Data'!$AC$3:$AC$2000),1)
Z_90101_nbr, =OFFSET('Z-Data'!$AA$2,1,0,COUNT('Z-Data'!$AA$3:$AA$2000),1)
Z_90101_pt, '=INDEX(Z_90101_nbr,COUNTA(Z_90101_nbr))

I need to replace five occurrences of ZIP with the contents of A1. I need to replace three occurrences of "mmm" with the contents of A2. I need to replace three occurrences of "nnn" with the contents of A3. Then I need to define the names for each of the 3 in column B. Lastly, I need to proceed down to the next zip code on the MAIN worksheet.

I can't find any help or examples where the contents of a cell (NOT an entire cell) can be copied and pasted in the Replace dialog box AND being able to iterate the process for the next zip code.

:confused:
