    Dynamic named ranges macro

    Im trying (for 2 weeks now) to create a macro to create a set of dynamic named ranges. there are column headers in row 5 and 5 rows below that there is the beginning of my data.

    Heres where the sticky part comes in: i have another table below my data that references the above table (that is why i need the dynamic named ranges). So, what i need the macro to probably do is to have it count until the first blank space in the column, starting at row 10.

    I found code in another post (http://www.mrexcel.com/forum/showthread.php?t=432030) and adjusted for my own purposes: only issue is that the range is stopping about 8 rows short.
    Here is the code:

    The code given is the original code, unmodified. I am utterly perplexed as to how to fix it.
    The issue is that my sheet has multiple tables on top of each other, not just one set of data, so rather than counting the entire row, i need it to just count from row 10 until the first blank space.

    If anyone could help i'd be very grateful.

    I don't see any dynamic named ranges. Post a workbook and tell me what names are wrong and in what way.

    Re: Dynamic named ranges macro

    I have modified the code. Lrow and lcol don't seem to have a problem anymore. what seems to be the problem is when it is actually creating the parameters for the "refers to" box of the add-dynamic-name part, it is using an "index" function that is somehow chopping off 8 rows of data.

    Any ideas?

    I found out the issue: the index is functioning but when using the lrow function in the equation, when inputted into the worksheet it, instead of lrow operating as 75 as it should, it is operating as 68. This is wierd since under the locals window of the macro screen lrow is shown as 75, but when i put in the worksheet =lrow it is displayed as 68.

    Any idea why this is?
