    How to count rows of student names and produce a name range?

    Hi All;
    I am working a marking spreadsheet for my Teaching Assistants for this upcoming fall semester. I used one last semester, but it required too many manual entries. What I want the spreadsheet to do is to take a number from a cell (i.e. B12), count the number of students (A to P, so cells A36 to A51), and then provide the name range in cell B21 (A - P). Any suggestions on how to do this? The spreadsheet is attached

    It's hard to give practical advice with a screenshot rather than an example worksheet, and I don't fully follow the question.

    However it sounds like an Offset Function is what you might be looking for. https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/...e-b4d906d11b66

    You can then put the result of this within a TEXTJOIN function to consolidate your results to a single cell https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/...0the%20ranges.

    actually, are you still using Office 2013 or a more up to date version? If the former, then those formula may not work...

    Please update your forum profile with that information. Then attach a sample workbbook (not a picture of one).
