Indirect Lists and Dynamic Ranges
I have a spreadsheet that utilizes the indirect function for data
validation. This works great except I have to manually change the range size if I add more data to a specific range. In comes =Offset() that will allow me to dynamically set the range depending on the last cell. However, once I set this up (which works), the indirect function does not work correctly. Any ideas, here are the formulas that I'm working with: For the Dynamic Ranges =OFFSET('IACL Order Form'!$AO$2,0,0,COUNTA('IACL Order Form'!$AO: $AO),1) For the Indirect List =INDIRECT(SUBSTITUTE($A18," ","")) So A18 has the category which then shows the items for that category in B18. Any help would be appreciated. |
Indirect Lists and Dynamic Ranges
The way I do it is to name the first cell in the dynamic list, let's say
Names, and also name the column, say NamesCol, and in the DV use a formula of =OFFSET(INDIRECT($A18),0,0,COUNTA(INDIRECT(A18&"Co l")),1) -- --- HTH Bob (there's no email, no snail mail, but somewhere should be gmail in my addy) wrote in message ...
