    dynamic chart values formula with dynamic starting point

    Hi All

    I'm trying to create a dynamic chart range using the formula below but i'm getting an error.

    Essentially row 3 may contain dates (unless there's no data in row 6 in which case row 3 returns 0)


    what this formula should be doing is creating the offset reference by looking for the first cell that is greater than 0 taking the column number and using the row number 6 create a R1C1 style reference that indirect will evalue into a cell, then i'm looking through row 3 and counting the number of cells whose value is greater than 0 and adding 1 (as the table starts in column 2) to create the width element of the offset.

    however: I keep getting a VALUE error and can't work out why - any idea?

    Re: dynamic chart values formula with dynamic starting point

    If you set up an OFFSET Formula that returns a range, within a single cell, you'll get a #Value returned. There's nothing wrong with the formula. That doesn't mean it's giving you what you want as far as your dynamic range. Put a SUM in front of it and see if it matches up with what you would expect the sum to be.

    If you upload an example spreadsheet, I might come up with alternate methods for you.

    you're spot on the formula I was using was working perfectly. I have c.50 dynamic named ranges and one of the first ones I wrote actually had a function misspelt which was triggering the error rather than this one. (I think i might of had calculations turned off initially)

    thank you so much for your help!
