I currently am importing data into Excel. This data changes from time to time. I am trying to determine if there is a way to automatically update the data source range.
I would define a name in the file with the data source range by going to Formulas -> Define Name. There you can set a name to be a formula that dynamically updates
=OFFSET(Sheet1!$A$1,0,0,COUNTA(Sheet1!$A:$A),COUNTA(Sheet1!1:1))
This selects a table based on a count of how many values are in Column A and Row 1.

I have a masterdata, which I update often. From this masterdata, I paste region specific data on seperate excel sheets. I do this by copying and pasting the data with the help of filtering.
Here is a sample of the masterdata (1st picture), and final product in which i filter the data to:
Is there a way to automate this? I.e., can I start using some formula that allows me to only update the masterdata in such a way that all the region sheets also update?
To be able to use structural references later on for the WHOLE combined dataset:
I have a table that is linked to another workbook, starting in cell C1: ... . Now in this new workbook, I add two columns (A and B). Can I integrate this with the table from the other workbook, WHILST keeping the possibility to refresh/update that table I now have, if the source data changes?
I want to later use formulas like = sumproduct(Table1[title1];Table1[title3]) etc. So that if the order ever changes, I reference by column name (year) instead of absolute references. Also, when new rows are added, they are included automatically in my range.
I am creating a service contract for a client. The document has an Appendix that is a table that changes depending on the product. All of the Appendix tables are in Excel, and I have created an INDEX MATCH function to return the name of a Named Range according to the product chosen, and now I need Excel to actually display that range.
This is my function:
=INDEX(References,MATCH(A2,Reference!A2:A30,0),MATCH(B2,Reference!B1:D1,0))
It returns a Named Range because that's the data I have in the table:
"References", but I want it to display the table and not just its name.
My ultimate goal is to have Word display the correct table depending on choices selected in form fields within the contract. Basically, I want to automate copying the correct table from Excel into Word. It needs to keep its original formatting. Pasting as an object or image is acceptable.
My question is for Excel 2013
I am trying to copy the contents of a dynamically generated table i.e. from a power query to another sheet where I create my own calculated columns and make a pivot table from that.
Here I have difficulties in copying the contents of the dynamically generated output of powerquery to another sheet.
I have tried the formula =Table_name[#column_name], This does link the column, but the destination table is not adjusted according to the original table rows. The destination table rows seem to be fixed and do not change as the source table rows change when I refresh the power query connection.
Is there a simple easy way to accomplish this ?
An Excel formula (by default) is executed every when you select a cell of the active sheet and click Send. All formulas of the sheet will be executed and values updated.
An excel formula update the value of the cell, is not itself the value!!!
To accomplish to your problem, and have an automatic update of your values you have to link the data, try to read this.
Hi I'm just wondering if there is a way to in Excel have a drop down menu that changes with the number of entries in the column.
I am currently using:
Data - Data Validation - List, to create my drop down menu.
As I am adding more entries below the Source range of the List I was wondering if there is a way to dynamically update this range? I have written VBA forms and can achieve a similar result using those but I am just wondering if this can be streamlined by not having a form popup for my search.
Also is there a way to have entries only added to the list based on a condition?
Thanks for any help.
You would use a dynamic named range. So let's pretend you have a worksheet specifically designated for your dynamic drop-down list source. We'll call the sheet "List" and we'll put the entries in column A starting in cell A1.
Now create a named range (we'll name this range listData) with this formula:
=List!$A$1:INDEX(LIST!$A:$A,MATCH(REPT("z",255),LIST!$A:$A))
Steps to create a named range: Go to Data -> Named Range -> New
Now for your data validation list, simply set it to the named range:
=listData
