On the second page of the spreadsheet, I'm reading and interpreting the data. Presently, every time I paste into sheet 1, I've got to manually increase the ranges on sheet 2 to the end of the new range. What I'd prefer, instead, is for sheet 2 to automatically update when the new data is inputted. You can use a dynamic named range. So, assuming that you want to create one for Column B on Sheet1, starting from B2... Insert Name Define Name: MyRange (or any other name that you want) Refers to: =Sheet1!$B$2:INDEX(Sheet1!$B$2:$B$65536,MATCH(9.99 999999999999E+307,Sheet 1!$B$2:$B$65536)) Click Add *Note that if Column B contains text instead of numerical values, change... 9.99999999999999E+307 to REPT("z",255) Then use MyRange in your formula. For example... =SUM(MyRange) This doesn't seem to work - strangely, the cell I entered it into returns the exact text of the formula. The cell is probably formatted as 'Text'. Try the following... 1) Format the cell as 'General' 2) Re-enter the formula Does this help? |
