Calc • Re: Using Column Name instead of letter not working

$

I need to use column names as the reference in formulas on Sheet2 since the column letters may change depending on how certain export data comes out.
Are you using the option 'Automatically find column and row labels' ?
Are what you refer to as "column names" actually labels inserted into the first row?
This is a dirty way to get partially the functionality of named ranges. It never is usable from a different sheet. Moreover it is only implemented to the full(?) extent in LibO.

My suggetion:
Disable the mentioned option.
Always use explicitly defined named ranges. Using LibO you can even choose the scope of the range definition.
(@robleyd obviously assumed you do it the explicit way.)
