A complex type that specifies additional properties for a macro named name.

Child Elements:

argumentDescriptions: A CT_DefinedNameArgumentDescriptions element (section 2.2.5.4) that specifies a group of descriptions for the macro arguments if the macro has arguments.

Attributes:

name: An ST_Xstring attribute ([ISO/IEC-29500-1] section 22.9.2.19) that specifies the name of a macro. The name attribute value MUST be unique for each CT_DefinedName element inside the CT_DefinedNames element (section 2.2.5.2). At least one of the following conditions MUST be true: there exists a CT_DefinedName ([ISO/IEC-29500-1] section A.2) element with a name attribute equal to this value and either the vbProcedure attribute or the xlm attribute is equal to 1, or there exists a Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) macro having a name equal to this value.

The string MUST adhere to the name grammar as specified in [MS-XLSX] section 2.2.2.
