Default forecasting and linking to a data range that is fluctuating

I'm using the forecast function. My formula is =forecast(a3, D2:D20,E2:E20).
My problem is that when I update my known x and y's the data range changes
(i.e. ends at row 24 instead of 20). Is there a way to reference my data
range in my forecast function to cells in column D and E that have numbers in
them so that the forecast formula automatically changes to include all of my
known x and y's? I can't just reference a really large area (i.e.
=forecast(a3,D2:D:200,E2:E200) because my forecast is linked to other tables
and formulas that can't handle having empty cells.

Thanks for any advice you have.
