    Dynamic name range not working correctly

    I have a dynamic name range called Serialnums which references all the rows in column B in the EquipmentData Sheet. However the range is not including all cells as there are 17 rows below containing data in the same column not included in the range, and I can't figure out why. This is my formula:
    =OFFSET(EquipmentData!$B$1,1,0,COUNTA(EquipmentData!$B:$B)-1,1)

    I have also attached my worksheet.

    Re: Dynamic name range not working correctly

    Or try using the Excel Table feature. Automatic dynamic named ranges for everything. I would use that on all tables. Only thing is if you are using it for datavalidation you need to assign a named range in between cause datavalidation don't read Table names or something.
    In the yellow cell I put in MAX of your serial numbers, just as an example.

    Here is some more reading and links.

    Re: Dynamic name range not working correctly

    Thank you for your responses. Jacc I dont think that would work for me as the dynamic ranges being referenced in some VB code.
    Debraj, other than it including the title cell (which should be excluded) it seemed to work at first as all the rows got included into the range, however when I added a new row of data it did not dynamically change to include it. How can I fix this?

    I just typed the data directly into the sheet manually.

    Table references works in VBA but it would require some work to convert I guess.
    A lazy solution, which I don't really like, is to use Tables and then assign your current names to Table references. My experience is that Tables are more reliable than named ranges. I hardly ever use dynamic named ranges anymore.
