Good day,

I am trying to set a named range automatically. The problem is that the
range varies daily so i thought of using "cntrl/shft *" to select the
range. I treid recording a macro but it gives me the row & column
numbers and i can not use that.
Can somebody help me with this please.

Thanks in advance

Hi Tempy,

You might consider defining a dynamic range:

Use e.g. this formula in the Refersto box of the name:

=OFFSET(Sheet1!$A$1,0,0,COUNTA(Sheet1!$A:$A),COUNT A(Sheet1!$1:$1))

The formula will count all entries in Column A to determine the number of
rows and all entries on row 1 to determine the number of columns to use,
starting from cell A1.

If you use defined names a lot, consider downloading the
Name manager (by Charles Williams, Matthew Henson and
myself) from:

www.jkp-ads.com

or

or from:

What problem? what I meant to say was to make the name dynamic in Excel
itself, so you needn't use code to do that, in code you can simply
refer to that name.

Perhaps you are not familiar with Names.

Under the Insert Menu:

Insert=Names=Define

Name: List1
Refersto:
=OFFSET(Sheet1!$A$1,0,0,COUNTA(Sheet1!$A:$A),COUNT A(Sheet1!$1:$1))

Click the add button.

to refer to the range in your code

set rng = Range("List1")
