Offset/COUNTA problems
I have a spreadsheet that looks like this:
A B Time In Time Out 12:15 PM 8:00 PM 2:00 PM 3:00 PM 4:00 PM 6:00 PM 6:00 PM 6:30 PM 8:00 PM 11:30 PM I'm trying to use the formula: =OFFSET(HeadCount!$B $1,0,0,COUNTA(HeadCount!$B:$B),1) to come up with the last value in column B, which should be 11:30pm. However, I keep getting a #VALUE! error. If I take out the COUNTA part and just use: =OFFSET(HeadCount! $B$1,0,0,6,1) I still get the error. If I replace the Row value of 6 with 1 in this formula, it gives me the correct value of "Time Out". Why won't it return the value when it is a time format? Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong. COUNTA and OFFSET work fine independently. Thanks for any help! -Josh |

Offset/COUNTA problems
Use just the rows and cols arguments of the offset function (leaving out the
height and width) to generate a single-cell reference. =OFFSET(HeadCount!$B$1,COUNTA(HeadCount!$B:$B),0) " wrote: I have a spreadsheet that looks like this: A B Time In Time Out 12:15 PM 8:00 PM 2:00 PM 3:00 PM 4:00 PM 6:00 PM 6:00 PM 6:30 PM 8:00 PM 11:30 PM I'm trying to use the formula: =OFFSET(HeadCount!$B $1,0,0,COUNTA(HeadCount!$B:$B),1) to come up with the last value in column B, which should be 11:30pm.

Offset/COUNTA problems
Thanks that worked. But, now I'm not sure if I'm going about this the
right way. I want to use the formula as a named function and use that as the source date of a chart I created. I'm trying to have the chart update based on what the last row of data is, instead of just arbitrarily using an ending row. So, instead of using something like (=HeadCount!$A$2:$A$6) in the source data for the series, maybe it would be (=HeadCount!TIME), if TIME was the name of the formula I was orginally using. Not sure if this works like was orginally thinking. Any ideas? THANKS |
