[Python 2.7.8, xlsxwriter 0.6.0]

In excel you can name a cell or range of cells. This "named cell" is especially useful in formulas. For example =countif(EmployeeStatus, "Full Time") is much more descriptive than =countif($B$2:$B$102, "Full Time").

Hi Andrew,

That is possible in XlsxWriter using the workbook define_name() method, see the docs and the example program.

Perfect! Thank you.

I've updated the documentation in release 0.6.4 to hopefully make this more obvious.
