Hello All,
I want to use a named range in the LINEST formula (European version of Excel). It works fine if I just use a dynamic range in the formula like this:

Code:
=INDEX(LINEST((INDIRECT(ADDRESS($AQ$1;22;4)):INDIRECT(ADDRESS(COUNTA(B:B);22;4))); (INDIRECT(ADDRESS($AQ$1;27;4)):INDIRECT(ADDRESS(COUNTA(B:B);27;4)))^{1\2});1)
but of course, this is not easy to read and maintain along other formulas. Therefore I defined two named ranges of the above dynamic ranges as below:

DeltaTRange:
Code:
=INDIRECT(ADDRESS('Test Data'!$AQ$1;27;4)):INDIRECT(ADDRESS(COUNTA('Test Data'!B:B);27;4))

FlowErrorRange:
Code:
=INDIRECT(ADDRESS('Test Data'!$AQ$1;22;4)):INDIRECT(ADDRESS(COUNTA('Test Data'!A:A);22;4))

These are working correctly on a simple function like AVERAGE but using it in LINEST funcion as below gives a "#REF!" error.

Code:
=INDEX(LINEST(FlowErrorRange; DeltaTRange^{1\2});1)

How should I edit the formula above to make it working?

Thanks in advance
Mahdi

Waterfall charts in Excel?
Office 365 customers have access to Waterfall charts since late 2016. They were added to Excel 2019.
Try the following (cannot comment on the European syntax):

=INDIRECT(ADDRESS('Test Data'!$AQ$1;27;4)):INDIRECT(ADDRESS(COUNTA('Test Data'!$B:$B);27;4))
=INDIRECT(ADDRESS('Test Data'!$AQ$1;22;4)):INDIRECT(ADDRESS(COUNTA('Test Data'!$A:$A);22;4))
