where "name" is a defined area on the worksheet or macro sheet.

To select multiple defined names, the names must be enclosed in quotation marks and separated by commas, as in the following example 

   =SELECT("name1,name2,name3")
where "name1," "name2," and "name3" are all defined areas on a worksheet or macro sheet.
