Dynamic Named Ranges In Excel For Mac 2017
By: Dave Crenshaw course. 2h 53m 20s. 208,575 viewers. Course Transcript - Instructor In the previous movie, I showed you how to create named ranges that refer to groups of cells and make your formulas easier to understand. The one major limitation of those named ranges is that they can't change in size to reflect new data added to the list.
In this movie, I will show you how to create dynamic named ranges that expand to include new data. My sample file is the dynamic workbook, and you can find it in the chapter three folder of the exercise files collection. I have a set of data, sales based on quarter for the year 2016, and I also have a formula that finds the total of those sales values.
If I click in cell F2 and look at the formula bar, I see that the formulas equal sum of sales. So Sales is the named range that if I go to the Name box and click the down arrow and click Sales, it encompasses the values in C2 through C5.
But let's say that I add some new data, that I have first-quarter data from the year 2017. So I go to cell A6 and type 2017, then. Practice while you learn with exercise files. Watch this course anytime, anywhere. Course Contents.
