Thanks Don, I have set up the named range but I am unsure how to apply your
formula into mine.

On a large worksheet with approx 7000 rows which will be filled in as time
goes on, I have numerous formulae which refer to ranges; i.e. B7:B7000.
I would like to speed up calculations by having excel only calculate down
to
the last cell which has data in it rather than all the way down to the
end.
Is there a way to do this in a formula and also in vba code?
I.E.
=COUNTIF(Sheet1!B$7:B$7000,D2)

....If Not Intersect(Target, Me.Range("O7:O7000")) Is Nothing Then.....
