Naming Defaults

When defining an assumption, decision variable, or forecast, Crystal Ball uses the following sequence to generate a default name for the data cell:

  1. Checks for a range name and, if found, uses it as the cell name.

  2. Checks the cell immediately to the left of the selected cell. If it is a text cell, Crystal Ball uses that text as the cell name.

  3. Checks the cell immediately above the selected cell. If it is a text cell, Crystal Ball uses that text as the cell name.

  4. If there is no applicable text or range name, Crystal Ball uses the cell coordinates for the name (for example, B3 or C7).
