Custom, user-defined names are identifiers that represent information in the sheet. A custom name can refer to a range of cells or a formula. You can define a custom name and then use the name in formulas. When the formula is evaluated, the custom name's value is referenced and evaluated. Use the addCustomName method to create a custom name.
This example creates a custom name.
