We can easily apply Excel’s Find and Replace feature to find out all cells applying the certain named range. Please do as follows:

1. Press the Ctrl + F keys simultaneously to open the Find and Replace dialog box.

Note: You can also open this Find and Replace dialog box with clicking the Home > Find & Select > Find.

2. In the opening Find and Replace dialog box, please do as following screenshot shown:

Now you will see all cells containing the name of specified named range are listing at the bottom of Find and Replace dialog box. See screenshot:

Note: The Find and Replace method not only finds out all cells using this certain named range, but also finds out all cells covering with this named range.

This method will introduce a VBA macro to find out all cells which use the certain named range in Excel. Please do as follows:

1. Press the Alt + F11 keys simultaneously to open the Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications window.

2. Click the Insert > Module, and copy and paste following code into the opening Module window.

VBA: Find where a certain named range is used

Sub Find_namedrange_place()
Dim xRg As Range
Dim xCell As Range
Dim xSht As Worksheet
Dim xFoundAt As String
Dim xAddress As String
Dim xShName As String
Dim xSearchName As String
On Error Resume Next

4. Now in the first opening Kutools for Excel dialog box please type the worksheet name into it and click the OK button; and then in the second opening dialog box please type the name of certain named range into it, and click the OK button. See screenshots:

5. Now the third Kutools for Excel dialog box comes out and lists cells using the certain named range as below screenshot shown.

After clicking the OK button to close this dialog box, these found cells are selected in the specified worksheet at once.

Note: This VBA can only look for cells using the certain named range in one worksheet at a time.

In you have Kutools for Excel installed, its Replace Range Names utility can help you find and list all cells and formulas which use the certain named range in Excel.
