Default Dynamic Range for multiple columns

If you look at the arguements for OFFSET, you'll see that the last number
controls how many columns to return. (the previous controls length). For your
situation, I'd write:

=OFFSET(Sheet1!$C$1,0,0,MAX(COUNTA(Sheet1!$C:$C),C OUNTA(Sheet1!$D$D)),2)

The MAX function is there to determine which column (C or D) is controlling
the size of your range.

I would like to create a dynamic range for multiple columns that are
attributed to the same name for a list. The reason for the dynamic range is
that I would like the user to be able to add to the list. If they had other
data that they would like to incorporate into the list.

I am able to make a list of mutliple columns for a single list and there
are multiple entries.

OFFSET(Sheet1!$A$1,0,0,COUNTA(Sheet1!$A:$A),1) is the example they under
create a dynamic range what changes would need to be made to allow this to be
done for multiple columns

Say if the columns that I am interested in are c and d
I have tried the following formula and it does not seem to work. How does
the list appear when it automatically expands does the darkened border expand
around the list.

OFFSET(Sheet1!$C$1,0,0,COUNTA(Sheet1!$C:$D),1)
