Range Question
 

If I have a named range for instance $A$11 : $C$14 = Range("TEST")

and I want to add any more values to this range how can i make it so that the
user can add more values which are outside this range and have the range
automatically change to capture the newer values as well in the same named
range("TEST")

Range Question
 

You can set up a dynamic named range which automatically adjusts if
you add more values to it - Chip Pearson explains how he

and Debra Dalgleish also explains this he

One can't "add" to a name's referenced range. Instead you just assign a
new (expanded) range to the name.

How do you propose XL should know what range the user wants to include?

Thanks Pete thats exactly what I needed.

JE McG.... it seems there is a way JEMcG one can use the Offset command or
even make a macro to expand the range if there is a value in the cell.

Range Question
 

Yup. I was focused on your problem statement, rather than on what you
likely were looking for.

A calculated, or dynamic, range which uses a *formula* as the definition
of the range can certainly automatically adjust, and, rereading your
original post, it's obvious that's the most likely explanation of what
you were looking for, and I'm not sure why I missed it.

OTOH, you if you actually assign a name to a range, the way you
indicated in your original post, one cannot add to it, one can only
reassign the reference to the name.

Note, a macro can't expand the range. It can only reassign the reference.
