Expanding a named range

I Have a set of values in a column that keeps track of customers for a given
product. I have a CountA function set up to count the non-null values in the
range, thus keeping track of how many customers I have for a given product.
My problem is this:
When I create a new row in the table to insert a new customer, that entry
now falls a row outside of my defined, named range, and the new entry doesn't
get counted in my COUNTA. Is there a way to redefine (stretch) the range I
have defined as "customers" so that it automatically grows row by row each
time I ADD insert a new row?

Hi,

1. You can insert a row within the range
2. You can define your range to include 1 extra row and then insert a new
row at that point each time.
3. You can use a dynamic range name -
=OFFSET(A$1,0,0,COUNTA(A$1:A$1000))
Enter the above in the Refers to box of the Define Names area. You may need
to adjust to compensate for titles or blank rows at the top.

If this helps, please click the Yes button

Hi,

You can also try the following:

Highlight the range and convert it to a list - Data List Create List

Thanks to both of you. I shall try all of these options to weigh the best
solution!
