Cannot define workbook-level name when sheet-local name exists
Last modified: 2006-06-27 15:39:04 UTC
The NAME dialog does not allow one to create a workbook-level name when an identical sheet-local name exists. Workaround: switch to other sheet and define from there.
If there is both a sheet-local and workbook level definition, which definition is used? This seems like a potentially confusing situation.
Andreas: local overrides global. (The other way wouldn't make much sense: you might as well delete the local one.)
This is fixed in cvs head (as part of the fix for #345896)
