Default Offset function and Dynamic Ranges

I just saw an example of this formula in an online newsletter:
=OFFSET(Data!$A$1,0,0,COUNTA(Data!$A$1:$A$19),COUN TA(Data!$1:$1))
I was trying it out and noticed that you have to place it with the upper
left cell in cell A1 of a worksheet for it to reproduce the data that it
refers to. Otherwise the #VALUE error appears. This is not how the OFFSET
function usually works for me and it seems to have something to do with the
COUNTA function appearing in the height and width arguments. I usually don't
use the height and width arguments at all. Could someone explain why this is
so and if there is a way to overcome this restriction?
Thanks for your help,
Sandy
