* Validate Input to SetSelectedCells
See issue #2279. User requests an enhancement so that you can set a Style on a Named Range. The attempt is failing because setting the style causes a call to setSelectedCells, which does not account for Named Ranges. Although not related to the issue, it is worth noting that setSelectedCells does nothing to attempt to validate its input.
The request seems reasonable, even if it is probably more than Excel itself offers. I have added code to setSelectedCells to recognize Named Ranges (if and only if they are defined on the sheet in question). It will throw an exception if the string passed as coordinates cannot be parsed as a range of cells or an appropriate Named Range, e.e.g. a Named Range on a different sheet, a non-existent named range, named formulas, formulas, use of sheet name qualifiers (even for the same sheet). Tests are, of course, added for all of those and for the original issue. The code in setSelectedCells is tested in a very large number of cases in the test suite, none of which showed any problems after this change.
* Scrutinizer
2 minor (non-fatal) corrections, including 1 where Phpstan and Scrutinizer have a different idea about return values from preg_replace.
