## org.apache.poi.xssf.usermodel
Class XSSFName

    java.lang.Object
      org.apache.poi.xssf.usermodel.XSSFName

All Implemented Interfaces:
  org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel.Name

    public final class XSSFName

extends java.lang.Object
implements org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel.Name

Represents a defined named range in a SpreadsheetML workbook.

Defined names are descriptive text that is used to represents a cell, range of cells, formula, or constant value. Use easy-to-understand names, such as Products, to refer to hard to understand ranges, such as `Sales!C20:C30`.

Example:

       XSSFWorkbook wb = new XSSFWorkbook();
       XSSFSheet sh = wb.createSheet("Sheet1");

       //applies to the entire workbook
       XSSFName name1 = wb.createName();
       name1.setNameName("FMLA");
       name1.setRefersToFormula("Sheet1!$B$3");

       //applies to Sheet1
       XSSFName name2 = wb.createName();
       name2.setNameName("SheetLevelName");
       name2.setComment("This name is scoped to Sheet1");
       name2.setLocalSheetId(0);
       name2.setRefersToFormula("Sheet1!$B$3");

Method Detail

### getNameName

    public java.lang.String getNameName()

  Returns the name that will appear in the user interface for the defined name.

  Specified by:
    `getNameName` in interface `org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel.Name`
  Returns:
    text name of this defined name

### setNameName

    public void setNameName(java.lang.String name)

  Sets the name that will appear in the user interface for the defined name. Names must begin with a letter or underscore, not contain spaces and be unique across the workbook.

  A name must always be unique within its scope. POI prevents you from defining a name that is not unique within its scope. However you can use the same name in different scopes. Example:

       //by default names are workbook-global
       XSSFName name;
       name = workbook.createName();
       name.setNameName("sales_08");

       name = workbook.createName();
       name.setNameName("sales_08"); //will throw an exception: "The workbook already contains this name (case-insensitive)"

       //create sheet-level name
       name = workbook.createName();
       name.setSheetIndex(0); //the scope of the name is the first sheet
       name.setNameName("sales_08");  //ok

       name = workbook.createName();
       name.setSheetIndex(0);
       name.setNameName("sales_08");  //will throw an exception: "The sheet already contains this name (case-insensitive)"

  Specified by:
