formula to lengthen named range
 

Hi there
excel 2003
How do I get a defined range reference to automatically change when I add
more data to it?
For example my named range is DataB. Refers to: =AllmyData!$A$1:$D$12000
I add more data to the bottom, say 50 lines, so my new reference should read
=AllmyData!$A$1:$D$12050
I have seen the fomula on this forum but just cannot find it again.

Thanks for your time

Hi,
Check this site:
http://www.contextures.com/xlNames01.html#Dynamic
In your case, in the menu Insert Names Define, the named range would
have to refer:
=OFFSET(AllmyData!$A$1,0,0,COUNTA(AllmyData!$A:$A) ,1)
