I have the following code:

Code:
Sub NameRange()
Dim WS As Worksheet

counter = 1

If counter = 51 Then Exit Sub

For Each WS In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
    If WS.Visible = xlSheetVisible Then
    WS.Activate
    ActiveCell.Cells.Select
    ActiveWorkbook.Names.Add Name:="vendor" & counter, RefersToR1C1:="='" & counter & "'!R1:R65536"""
    counter = counter + 1
    End If
Next WS
End Sub

However I get an error on the RefersToR1C1 line.

The counter changed each Name to Vendor1, Vendor2, etc....
The sheets are named 1, 2, 3, etc...
I need the named range to refer to the correct sheet

Vendor1 should refer to Sheet Named '1' R1:R65536
Vendor2 should refer to Sheet Named '2' R1:R65536
etc.

Any help here would be great... Thanks in advance.
 

Excel Facts

Test for Multiple Conditions in IF?
Use AND(test, test, test, test) or OR(test, test, test, ...) as the logical_test argument of IF.
Try this.
Code:
Sub NameRange()
Dim WS As Worksheet

    For Each WS In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
        If WS.Visible = xlSheetVisible Then
            counter = counter + 1
            WS.Range("A1:IV65536").Name = "vendor" & counter
        End If
    Next WS
    
End Sub
