Hi

Did you enter
=RRBB001
That is what is required in the source dialogue

Hello,
I'm using Excel 2000. I'm trying to name a range for a dynamic formula to
be used in a pivot table. I found a very good tip on this site, but I can't
get the "named range" to work. Here is what I've done:

I name the range by choosing Insert Name Define
I type my name "RRBB001" without the quotes.

In the Refers to box I type
=offset(data!$A$1,0,0,Counta(Data!$A:$A),7)

I click OK

Then a choose the pivot table and for the range I type "RRBB001", click
Next

Here is where I get the error message " Reference is not valid"

However, when I go back into Insert Name Paste, the name prints and
the
offset formula. Help is appreciated as always.
