Delete a named range from Excel

Use jetformat excel remove-name to delete a named range from Excel.

By Jetformat

Use the exact name reported by excel names. Removing a named range does not mean deleting the underlying worksheet cells.

Steps

  1. Start with a local XLSX. Replace the sample paths and identifiers with your own.
  2. Run the command below. Save to a new output path so the source remains available for comparison.
  3. Check the result as described below before using it in another job.
jetformat excel remove-name finance.xlsx --name Revenue -o revised.xlsx

Options for this task

Option Meaning
--name Name
--output Output XLSX path (required)

Check the result

List names again and check formulas that previously used the removed name.

Notes and limits

Writing an Office document uses one credit per command. See the billing guide for the current rules.

The examples keep the original file. Add --force only when you intend to overwrite an existing output. Run jetformat excel remove-name --help to compare options with your installed version.

See the excel command reference for the surrounding workflow.
