I just noticed that you originally used COUNTA, so I'm inferring that you
could have either numbers or text in the referenced range.

In that case, try this:

=OFFSET(PP!Goal,1,0,MAX(LOOKUP(REPT("z",255),PP!$C :$C,ROW(PP!$C:$C)),LOOKUP(10^99,PP!$C:$C,ROW(PP!$C :$C)))-1,1)

Does that help?

Hi, Barb

Try something like this:

I want to create a named range (I'll call it GoalList) and I've tried to use
something like this:

=OFFSET(PP!Goal,1,0,COUNTA(PP!$C:$C)-1,1)

Unfortunately, there are blank values on column C, so I don't really get to
the last row in the range. I know how to do this with VBA, but I need a
named range. Can someone assist?
