During data import Access doesn't recognize all of the named_ranges available in excel file

1

As I described in the subject, during importing Excel file into an Access made database I'm facing an issue of Access not seeing all of the named_ranges I created in my Excel file.

This is the data I want to import.

This is the data I want to import.

There is few named ranges in this workbook I'm using to create the data that I'm importing later into Access. And up until now I've been using "print_areas" as named_range I was passing through to Access import wizard during the import process.

These are the named ranges in my Excel file.

Up until now print_areas were working fine and I've used them to point, precisely which data I want to import to Access. While in the external data import wizard in Access, I wasn't choosing whole excel worksheets to import. I was choosing previously set "print_ares" to precisely select data I want to import.

These are the named ranges in my Excel file:

Up until now I was using these other print_areas and it was working fine but now this specific "print_area" in the "checkouts" sheet is not visible in Access's external data source import wizard.

These are the named ranges I can choose while importing data into Access:

These are the named ranges I can choose while importing data into Access.

Not all of the named_ranges I've created in excel file are available for me to choose in the Access external data import wizard. Why some of these named_ranges are available and some are not, even if they are named_ranges of the same type, for example print_areas in different sheets.

Why none of my tables names I have in excel file are not visible as named_ranges in the Access external data import wizard. Aren't the tables some special kind of named_range in Excel file. They do have a name - don't they. If so, I should be able to see them as named_ranges in the Access external data import wizard, and I should be able to select them and move forward.

I've been here Named ranges (defined names) do not appear in Access on - Microsoft Community and I've read it 3 times, but there is no answer that solves my problem.
