You can also use <item type="literal">'Row One'</item> for the cell range <item type="literal">B3</item> to <item type="literal">D3</item>, or <item type="literal">'Row Two'</item> for the cell range <item type="literal">B4</item> to <item type="literal">D4</item>.

If you enter the name in the formula yourself, enclose the name in single quotation marks ('). If a single quotation mark appears in a name, you must enter a backslash in front of the quotation mark, for example, <item type="literal">'Harry\'s Bar'.</item>
