This is an interesting set of special cases. Do either of you want to try to write a paragraph defining what you THINK the semantics should be? I see two issues: * Name is global scope vs. sheet-local scope * Cell reference has no sheet name vs. has a sheet name (I don't think it matters for calculation whether or not the sheet name or cell reference is absolute or not, just like normal references it doesn't matter - esp. because names include their base.) I with Eike that sheet-copying is out-of-scope strictly speaking, but that it'd be a good idea to include some sort of note mentioning what is expected to happen (since it would reduce user surprise). --- David A.
