Insert Name Define
Why does this work for a Name definition of a range?
=Sheet1!$A$3:INDEX(DataforCharts!$A:$A,MATCH(9.999 99E+307,DataforCharts!$A:$A)) It works but I can't figure out why. The INDEX returns the value of the last cell with data in it, however if I just replace all of that with the value it does not work anymore. For example this does NOT work. =Sheet1!$A$3:40857

Actually, this portion:
=MATCH(9.99999E+307,DataforCharts!$A:$A) returns the last row in column A of the DataForCharts worksheet that has numeric data in it. But you didn't translate the =index() portion. That would include the column reference, too. Essentially: =Sheet1!$A$3:A40857 Chris Johnson wrote: Why does this work for a Name definition of a range? =Sheet1!$A$3:INDEX(DataforCharts!$A:$A,MATCH(9.999 99E+307,DataforCharts!$A:$A)) It works but I can't figure out why.
