Hello there,
Finally solved the issue!
Here is how to solve the issue:
- Open the file by creating a new name (?). My version works on my computer, it's on a colleague's one that it shows the name conflict issue
- Press fn + option + F11 on Mac OR Alt + F11 on Windows
- Right click on the tab you are having issues with in the list on the left
- Click on 'display the code' (using French version so not sure what the English version would be)
- Paste the code below in the window that appears in the center
- Run the code by clicking on the run button
- A window will pop out, click delete for all issues
- Once done close the window and save the file
- Close the file and reopen
Code:
Sub DELRNG()
Dim rNme As Name
On Error Resume Next
For Each rNme In ActiveWorkbook.Names
If (MsgBox("Delete the name? " & rNme.Name, vbYesNo) = vbYes) Then
rNme.Delete
End If
Next
On Error GoTo 0
End Sub
Hope it helps solving the problem for others.
