Hi,

I've written a macro that works perfectly in Excel 07, it literally drops some data onto sheet "ShepherdBookedCases" and then refreshes the Pivot Table on sheet "Pivot"

Sadly the majority of people using this will be using Excel '03. I keep coming over an issue whereby the macro will run but then when i go to refresh the Pivot Table it tells me the "Reference is Not Valid"

The reference for the Pivot Table is deciphered by a named range which works on an OFFSET reference, namely

Rich (BB code): 
=OFFSET(ShepherdBookedCases!$A$1,0,0,COUNT(ShepherdBookedCases1!$A$1:$A$65536),17)
Any idea why this isn't working or what i can do to get around it??

Excel Facts

Using Function Arguments with nested formulas
If writing INDEX in Func. Arguments, type MATCH(. Use the mouse to click inside MATCH in the formula bar. Dialog switches to MATCH.
Sort by date Sort by votes
In Setting up Dynamic Range Names using the OFFSET() Function, you use the COUNTA() function, versus the Count() - REPLaCE throughout your code..
Maybe a type, but what's the "1" (in red) - this should be removed...

Hope this helps,,

=OFFSET(ShepherdBookedCases!$A$1,0,0,COUNTA(ShepherdBookedCases1!$A$1:$A$65536),17)

Hey Thanks. I'll give it a try when i'm back at work on weds. I don't think the actual code has the phantom "1" in it but i'll certainly try the COUNTA over COUNT. Hopefully it'll solve it
