    creating dynamic range with offset

    Hi all,

    How can I create a dynamic range with an offset function if the range the formula is referring to has no actual "blanks", but rather formulas where some cells return a "". For all my other dynamic ranges I used:

    But since COUNTA counts only real blanks not cells with formulas returning "", it won't work for such a case.

    Is there a workaround? maybe with a LEN>1, as all other cells have a least 2 characters? Something like the below?

    Don't seem to get it to work...

    You could amend your COUNTIF like this
    =OFFSET(Control!$Q$6,0,0,COUNTIF(Control!$Q$6:$Q$15,"?*"),1)
