Hi!
=OFFSET(RB04244200-A5,B5!B$34,0,0,COUNTA(Model),60)
What is the numerical value of COUNTA(Model) ?
is there a way to dynamically figure out how many columns wide
a worksheet is?
If every column has a header (no empty cells), say, in row 1 B1:IV1
=OFFSET(RB04244200-A5,B5!B$34,0,0,COUNTA(Model),COUNTA(1:1))
The main thing to understand about this formula is that as written it's an
array formula and is meant to return a range of cells and not just a single
cell.
COUNTA(Model) is the Height argument (how many rows starting from row 34
(B34) )
60 or COUNTA(1:1) is the Width argument (how many columns starting from
column B (B34) )
So if COUNTA(Model) evaluates to 5 and and the Width argument is 60, you
need to select a range 5 rows by 60 columns then enter the formula as an
array.

I have a worksheet named: RB04244200-A5,B5 that contains many columns of
data.
I would like to retrieve a subset of data from the worksheet from a web
page using OLEDB. I can do it easily by creating a named range and from
the web page retrieve the desired data.
my problem is how to do this dynamically! Searching the web I found
the following. =OFFSET(mySheet!$A$1,0,0,COUNTA(mySheet!$A:$A),1) so
I've modified to meet my needs.
I need to pull data starting from row 34 in column B until column B is
blank. So this is what I've got:
=OFFSET(RB04244200-A5,B5!B$34,0,0,COUNTA(Model),60)
where Model is column B header value and 60 is the number of column to
pull (ie is there a way to dynamically figure out how many columns wide
a worksheet is?)
How do I get the results of this function? Each time I open the
worksheet and allow macros the function is there but no value. Is the
formula not correct?
thanks for any assistance with these 2 questions. (getting number of
columns,how do I get the results of the formula if it is indeed
correct?).
thx,
