I bet you have an empty cell in column A of that mastercontentslist worksheet.

Remember to look in hidden rows (by autofilter).

If you have to keep that cell looking empty, you could use:
=""
in that cell

If you have to really keep it empty, you could subtract 1 in your formula:
=OFFSET(MasterContentsList!$A$2,0,0,COUNTA(MasterC ontentsList!$A:$A)-1,1)

I have a sheet with a layout as such:
A B C
Bed 2.50 ea
Table 1.00 ea

I have tried to specify a dynamic named range ("ItemList" )as so:
=OFFSET(MasterContentsList!$A$2,0,0,COUNTA(MasterC ontentsList!$A:$A),1)

The range always includes an empty cell at the bottom of the list. I have
deleted everyting below to end, but no change? This is causing the DV list to
start at the bottom with a blank...

Secondly, when I try to use that named range in a VLOOKUP, to retrieve the
amount, I get a #REF error. Here is the formula I am using for VLOOKUP:
=IF(ISBLANK(B12),"",VLOOKUP(B12,ItemList,2,FALSE))
Are the errors related? What am I doing wrong
