Hi, How do i use Dynamic Named Range in "Data Rane" Excel chart ?
=$B$2:INDEX($1:$1048576,COUNTA($B:$B),COUNTA($2:$2)) or =$A$2:INDEX($A:$A, COUNTA($A:$A))
is not suitable for this.
Thank You,

hi there.. hope someone could help me. I want to create a name in my file which is getting values from a single column table. I want to exclude one specific value and don't want it to be part of the name range. Not sure how can I do that? Column data is:
Fruits (table header)
Apple
Banana
Orange
Grapes
Want to have a list that exclude "Orange". As it's a table I will be adding new names after Grapes in near future.
Pls refer to: FILTER(A1:INDEX(A:A,COUNTA(A:A)),A1:INDEX(A:A,COUNTA(A:A))"Orange") in the New Name dialog
Hello, I am painfully new to working with Excel, macros, and the like. I have recorded a macro, but right now it will only work on the cell range that I originally recorded the macro on. Right now the range reads as =Range("A2:A724"), but I need the bottom part of the range (A724) to be dependent on column B. Meaning, if column B has data going down to cell B1021, then I want my range in column A to automatically look like =Range("A2:A1021"). I would appreciate any help. Thanks!
Hi! I'm a newbie in Excel, so there's a risk my question is kind os obvious. I'm trying to connect a Pivot Table in Excel to a Word File, for this, I have to edit the Name of my range in Excel and Word so the Word table automatically updates the range it is reporting. The problem I have is Excel says he doesn't understand my formula, it looks like this:
='DE40'!$B$4:$B$4:INDEX('DE40'!$1:$1048576,COUNTA('DE40'!$B:$B),+'DE40'!$4:$4))
Where DE40 is the Sheet/Pivot Table I'm trying to refer. Any ideas?
I have a simple table: 7 columns, 4 rows. Can I create a formula just adding Hrs of bananas?
Jan 1 Jan 2 Jan 3
Hrs Cases Hrs Cases Hrs Cases
Bananas 1 10 3 30 0 0
Apples 5 20 1 4 3 12
_______|___Hrs_|_Cases_|_Hrs_|_Cases_|_Hrs_|_Cases
Bananas|____1__|___10__|__3__|___30___|_0__|___0__
Apples_|____5__|___20__|__1__|___04___|_3__|___12_
No sure if this will help to understand the table...
An easy way to do it if you need a range is to use indirect in the name.. eg example for A2:G10
There is 20 rows in coloumn A
=Indirect(Sheet_name!A2:G"&CountA(A:A))
since indirect "translate" the expression - so it reads the name to be refered to this
Sheet_name!A2:G10
Correction - There is 20 rows in coloumn A - should ofcourse be 10 rows ;)
I'm trying to create a dynamic range showing client names only if their status is Active in another column. Can someone help me with the formula for this?
Pls refer to: FILTER(A1:INDEX(A:A,COUNTA(A:A)),B1:INDEX(B:B,COUNTA(B:B))="Active") in the New Name dialog
Hi,
This index formula method for creating dynamic named range is not working.
Sheet3!$H$2:INDEX(Sheet3!$H:$H,COUNTA(Sheet3!$H:$H))
Using evaluate formula, this shows to result to $H$2:$H$6. But post that it acts as an array formula. Its finally returning value either H2/H3/H4/H5/H6 based on the cell.
What i mean to say is, it is not giving a range. Hence, this seems wrong.
Please let me know your view.
