I have a particular problem I cannot seem to find an answer for in excel. I have a cell (E20) which’s value is: $G$7, I intent to modify cell (E20) in the future and use it as a filter.

When I want the value of cell (E20) to be used as a range the Formula, excel gives me an error and displays the problem:

=OFFSET($C$7,0,0,1,COUNTIF($D$8:"$G$7", ">0") +1

Mainly

COUNTIF($D$8:"$G$7" ...

How can I make this $G$7 value (which comes from E20) be a real cell reference, without the “” surrounding it?

Notes: I have already tried INDIRECT() and TEXT().

    Let’s say you have a cell named X that has the value “$G$7”

    You will also need append the “$D$8:” to this cell value inside INDIRECT() to reference the “dynamic” range:

    =OFFSET($C$7,0,0,1,COUNTIF(INDIRECT("$D$8:" & X), ">0") + 1)

    Also, using named ranges might help you keep track of this dynamic range.
