Accessing the Named Range Window: To open the Named Range Management window, navigate through the ReoGrid Editor menu by selecting Formula > Named Range. This opens a window listing all defined named ranges in the current worksheet.

Editing and Deletion: Within the Named Range Management window, users can edit the cell range associated with a named range or delete named ranges that are no longer needed. This centralized management tool ensures that named ranges remain relevant and accurately reflect the worksheet data.

Named ranges are a powerful feature in ReoGrid Editor, enabling more readable formulas and easier data referencing. By using the Address Bar to define named ranges and the Named Range Management window for ongoing maintenance, users can significantly enhance their data organization and formula creation workflows.
