    Automatically expand named range when new data is added

    hello: Is there a way to expand a named range being used as a dropdown when new names are added to the range. for eg is there is data from A1 to A5 and the range is named "NAME". Is there a way to automatically expand the range when a name is added in A6 so that is also appears in the dropdown?

    Thanks
