I have an estimating program file with 30+ worksheets in which I need to be
able to specify a specific range name from four available, then paste the
data from a 5 column by 6 row range relating to that named range to a
different worksheet to calculate overheads, field supervision, AFDC and
profit using the specified range name (the four range names have different
values). I think an 'IF' statement would work but I do not know how to tell
it to choose the range and then paste it to the specific area on the 1st
worksheet and be able to overwrite that data if another range name is used.
I originally created this program in Lotus 1-2-3 using a macro.

Perhaps something like this ..

In the target sheet,

Assuming B2 will house the input of the range name,

Put in say, the formula bar for B4:
=IF($B$2="","",OFFSET(INDIRECT($B$2),ROW(A1)-1,COLUMN(A1)-1))

Array-enter the formula in B4 by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER,
instead of just pressing ENTER

Copy B4 across to F4, fill down to F9
to populate the range size (5C x 6R)

B4:F9 will return the required results* depending on the input in B2
*the contents of the named range

For a neater look, suppress display of extraneous zeros in the sheet
via clicking Tools > Options > View tab > Uncheck "Zero values" > OK
