Dynamic names just don't show in the names box I am afraid.

To assign a range, try

=OFFSET($A$1,,,COUNTA($A:$A))

assuming the data is in clumn A

I have a set of data that i have assigned a range name.
Time to time i keep adding data to this sheet.
I know I can do it using Offset function. But the problem is I am not
really
able to understand the Offset function. It does not include the new data i
add in the range .
And somehow after I write the offset function the range name does not show
up in the upper right hand range name drop down menu.
can someone kindly let me know how exactly can i use offset and why does
the
range name disappear from teh drop down list after writing the offset
function.

thank you for all the help.
