Excel: How to Dynamically Update Named Ranges Based on Filtered Data?
I'm building a feature where I'm working on a project and hit a roadblock... I'm trying to create a dynamic chart in Excel that updates based on user-selected filters from a Pivot Table. I have a named range that I want to automatically adjust to include only the visible cells from my filtered data, but I'm working with issues with the named range not updating as expected. I defined my named range using the following formula: ```excel =OFFSET(Data!$A$1, 0, 0, COUNTA(Data!$A:$A), COUNTA(Data!$1:$1)) ``` While this works to capture the entire range initially, when I filter my data, the named range still includes hidden rows, leading to incorrect values in my chart. I tried using the `SUBTOTAL` function to count visible cells, but the named range does not reflect this dynamic change: ```excel =OFFSET(Data!$A$1, 0, 0, SUBTOTAL(103, Data!$A:$A), COUNTA(Data!$1:$1)) ``` However, I get the `#REF!` behavior because the `SUBTOTAL` function seems incompatible with the `OFFSET` function in this context. I also attempted to create a dynamic table range using the `INDEX` function but faced similar issues with visibility: ```excel =Data!$A$1:INDEX(Data!$A:$A, SUBTOTAL(103, Data!$A:$A)) ``` This approach results in the same question where hidden cells still impact the range. I'm using Excel 2019 and have ensured that my data is formatted as a Table. What am I missing here? Is there a better method to achieve a truly dynamic named range that adapts based on filtered data? Any help would be greatly appreciated. My development environment is Ubuntu. I'm working with Excel in a Docker container on Windows 10. What are your experiences with this? I'm developing on Ubuntu 20.04 with Excel. Is there a better approach?
