    Dynamic range for drop down menu

    I'm trying to set up a dynamic list (processors will be added and removed constantly). I'm having issues with the name manager dynamically updating, I tried using =OFFSET(Processor List!$B$3,0,0,COUNTA(Processor List!$B$3:B),1) and it gives me a error. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong but I can't seem to figure it out, below is the code I tried using instead of the above formula. Thanks in advance for any help/advice!

    wyanrandy,

    You'd be best off using a dynamic named range formula like you originally attempted. The error was because you never provided an ending row in your Counta() range. Instead of 'Processor List'!$B$3:B, try 'Processor List'!$B$3:$B$65000

    The highlighted line still gives me trouble which is how I got into the mess I'm in - it gives me the Run-time error '1004':

    Application-defined or object-defined error

    If I remove this part it won't generate a drop down menu
