reference first cell in a named range
I am using the offset function, in the following formula:
=OFFSET($B$7,,COUNTA(Dates)) I want to use the Named Range, "Dates" I to establish the reference cell "$B$7" rather than actuality entering the reference cell, which seems kind of redundant to me. Dates = $B$7-$B$11 Is this possible? Ive tried a few things which resulted in errors or no data. |

Hi
Not sure if I understand what you are after. To refer to the first cell in a named range =INDEX(Dates,1) You could use $B$11-INDEX(Dates,1) or =INDEX(Dates,4)-INDEX(Dates,1) -- Regards Roger Govier "Robert H" wrote in message ...

Just substitute Roger's formula for $B$7
