Horizontal Dynamic Named Range

Hi all,

I have created a dynamic range that expands vertically in the same column.

=OFFSET(B1,0,0,1,COUNTA(1:1))

My data starts and B1 (Sheet1) and currently ends in CU1, but I keep adding new data to the first row. This formula works well in Sheet1.

My issue is that I would like to move the drop-down box with this dynamic range to another sheet (Sheet2).

When I try do do this using the same formula =OFFSET(Sheet1!B1,0,0,1,COUNTA(1:1)), it says that "The Source currently evaluates to an error. Do you want to continue?"

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong here please?

Thanks.
 

Excel Facts

Format cells as date
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+3 to format cells as date. (Shift 3 is the # sign which sort of looks like a small calendar).
Have you tried qualifying the counta range with the sheet name as well?
COUNTA(Sheet1!1:1)
Simply using 1:1 will mean that it is looking at the sheet with the dropdown (sheet2) so if row 1 is empty then the count will be zero, which will cause an error.

Of course, thank you! That fixed it.
