Using Names Migration
Using Names Migration is very simple. Install the addin. This add a button on the Formulas tab. The source book (which you want to copy names from) should be active when you press the button. Then from the userform choose the destination workbook to which the names will be copied. Then simply hit GO. If the workbooks have the same tab structure and there are no errors in the names, all names are copied to the destination workbook. If referenced tabs in the source workbook are not present in the destination, or if there are other name errors already exist in the source workbook, then a report of errors in migration will be reported to the user.
