    Name a dynamic range

    I have named dynamic ranges before but it has been a year or so since I have done it and I can not remember where to go to do it. The range is for a data validation drop down list that may grow. The formula that I think I should use is

    The range the I need to name is in the worksheet Lists and the range should be d2:d100 did I make the formula right?

    Thanks in advance.

    Re: where do I name a dynamic range? I have the formula

    In XL2003, go to Insert|Name|Define

    In XL2007, go to Formulas|Define Name

    Formula should be:

    =Lists!$D$2:INDEX(Lists!$D2:$D$100,COUNTA(Lists!$D2:$D$100),1)

    or if you don't want to limit to D100

    then:

    =Lists!$D$2:INDEX(Lists!$D:$D,COUNTA(Lists!$D:$D)+1,1)
    Where there is a will there are many ways.
