Default Can't chart dynamic named range??

THANK YOU!!
If I create a named range (TMW) with the offset formula that Greg
suggested, then the second name range uses an offset that refers to
TMW, I can now chart the second named range.
Like Greg said, for some reason it doesn't like the Indirect and
Address functions!! Go figure!!!

I couldn't get a chart to accept your formula but I did get it to accept a
convensional DNR using the Offset function. The chart doesn't seem to like
DNRs that use the INDIRECT and/or the ADDRESS function. However, with very
minimal testing, I think this may work in lieu of your function. If it's not
quite correct you should be able to fix it.

=OFFSET(Clients,
MATCH("TMW",Clients,0)-1,0,IF(COUNTIF(Clients,"TMW")12,12,COUNTIF(Client s,"TMW")),1)

I have a named range call TMW with this gnarly formula
=OFFSET(INDIRECT(ADDRESS(MATCH("TMW",Clients,0)+1, 1)),0,0,IF(COUNTIF(Clients,"TMW")12,12,COUNTIF(Cl ients,"TMW")),1)
When I use GOTO and type TMW it selects the correct cells.

Then I have another named range called TMW_ACTIVE with this formula
=OFFSET(TMW,0,2,,)
It simply takes the same range just over two columns. Again when I use
GOTO and type TMW_ACTIVE it selects the correct cells.

The issue is that I have charts that refer to TMW_ACTIVE and when the
named range was hardcoded with values the charts worked but now that I
use the offset formula the chart doesn't work. Any ideas?
THANKS for your help!!
