    Link an ever changing range of data to another work sheet automatically.

    Ex: I want to link a set of data from A1:A5 from sheet 1 to sheet 2. But the set of data can change and it might be from A1:A6 or A1:A7 etc. etc. I want those changes to automatically show in sheet 2 without having to link again. Is that possible?? Thanks.

    Could you be more clear about what you mean by linking? Do you mean referencing the range in a formula on sheet2? If so, create a dynamic named range and use the name in place of the hard-coded reference.

    Example:
    If we define a dynamic named range as "MyRange" using this formula:
    =OFFSET(Sheet1!$A$1,0,0,COUNTA(Sheet1!$A:$A),1)
    We could reference (i.e. "link") it to a formula in sheet2 such as:

    =SUM(MyRange)

    Do you know . . . ?

    actually I didn't want to sum the numbers, I just wanted to copy them over to sheet 2. I named the range of numbers in sheet one I want to copy over as "Numbers" how would I copy that range over to sheet 2? hopefully that is clear. Thanks.
