How do I get empty cells out of my validation list?

The Ignore Blank Cells function does not work.

Version: Excel 2000 Engelstalig

I tried the approach and everything seems to work the way it should.


Inkoop =OFFSET(Inkoop Onderdelenlijst!$A$1:$A$100;0;0;COUNTA(Inkoop
Onderdelenlijst!$1:$1);1)
Maak =OFFSET(Maak Onderdelenlijst'!$A$1:$A$100;0;0;COUNTA(Maak
Onderdelenlijst'!$1:$1);1)
Sub ='Sub Onderdelenlijst'!$1:$65536100;0;0;COUNTA(Sub
Onderdelenlijst'!$1:$1);1)
MaKo =OFFSET(Sub Onderdelenlijst'!$A$1;0;0;COUNTA(Sub Inkoop
Onderdelenlijst'!$A:$A)-COUNTIF(Sub Onderdelenlijst'!$A:$A;0))

Untill the moment I fill in the

""IF(ROW()COUNTA(Inkoop)+COUNTA(Maak);OFFSET(Sub; ROW()-1-COUNTA(Inkoop)-COUNTA(Maak);0;1;1);IF(ROW()COUNTA(Inkoop);OFFSET (Maak;ROW()-1-COUNTA(Inkoop);0;1;1);OFFSET(Inkoop;ROW()-1;0;1;1)))"

Then Excel starts to ask ask me where the file of "Onderdelenijst" is. And
changes the "defined name Formulas"

Inkoop =OFFSET(Inkoop
[Onderdelenlijst]Onderdelenlijst!$A$1:$A$100;0;0;COUNTA(Inkoop
[Onderdelenlijst]Onderdelenlijst!$1:$1);1)
Maak =OFFSET(Maak '[Onderdelenlijst]Inkoop
Onderdelenlijst'!$A$1:$A$100;0;0;COUNTA(Maak '[Onderdelenlijst]Inkoop
Onderdelenlijst'!$1:$1);1)
Sub ='Sub Onderdelenlijst'!$1:$65536100;0;0;COUNTA(Sub
'[Onderdelenlijst]Inkoop Onderdelenlijst'!$1:$1);1)
MaKo =OFFSET(Sub '[Onderdelenlijst]Inkoop
Onderdelenlijst'!$A$1;0;0;COUNTA(Sub '[Onderdelenlijst]Inkoop
Onderdelenlijst'!$A:$A)-COUNTIF(Sub '[Onderdelenlijst]Inkoop
Onderdelenlijst'!$A:$A;0))

The Result is #NAME? Do you know what's wrong? I could send you the complete
file if you need it. Thanks,

Did you include blank cells in the named range, so you could add more dealer
names later? If so, instead of leaving blank cells, you could create a
dynamic named range. There are instructions he
