    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To automatically adjust the limit of a named range for adding a new element (row, column or sheet) within a named range of a spreadsheet. SOLUTION: This method is provided with a step for defining an open named range by designating one or plural open directions to the named range and a step for defining a hidden range with name having a cell address range expanding the open named range just for one address in all the designated open directions. Further, the method is provided with a step for selecting one or plural directions, a step for increasing the cell address range of the hidden named range by inserting a new address in the selected direction between two continuous cell addresses and a step for updating the open named range by shortening the open range with name just for one address in all the designated open directions.

    Abstract: A named range defined by a cell address range in a spreadsheet comprises a plurality of cells identified in each dimension by an address, each dimension comprising two directions. An open named range is specifyed to the named range in at least one open direction. A hidden named range with the cell address range of the open named range is expanded by one address in every direction specified as open. In response to user action, at least one direction is selected, the cell address range of the hidden named range is increased by inserting between two consecutive cell addresses, a new address in selected directions, the open named range is updated with the cell address range of the hidden named range shortened by one address in every direction specified as open.
