Dynamic named range & Offset

[fastballfreddy]

I need some help w/ Dynamic named range. First time using them.

Here's the formula that I have now w/ the range being AH4:AH9.

=IF(ROWS(B$5:B5)<=$B$4,INDEX(*$AH$4:$AH$9*,SMALL(IF(COUNTIF(INDIRECT("'"&*$AH$4:$AH$9*&"'!B9"),">"&$AI$4),IF(COUNTIF(INDIRECT("'"&*$AH$4:$AH$9*&"'!B9"),"<="&$AI$5),ROW(*$AH$4:$AH$*9)-ROW($AH$4)+1)),ROWS(B$5:$B5))),"")

Now I'm not sure if this is how I'm suppose to do it, but let's say
want range AH4:AH30. So I highlight that and click insert, name
define and name it - Employees. Do I have to change the "Refers to
formula or keep it as is? Do I need to use an Offset formula there an
if so what would that be? Finally after that is all figured out, do
change *$AH$4:$AH$9* to Employees?

Just to let you know the purpose, I have 6 employees, but want m
formula to change if I add employees or subtract some. The formula i
used for a full year, so 365 times and I want it to updat
automatically if I add employees.

Any help appreciated. Am I anywhere close? Thanks

You want to set the RefersTo for employees as

=OFFSET($AH$4,,,COUNTA($A$H4:$AH$3000),1))

and change the formula to

=IF(ROWS(B$5:B5)<=$B$4,INDEX(Employees,
SMALL(IF(COUNTIF(INDIRECT("'"&Employees&"'!B9"),">"&$AI$4),
IF(COUNTIF(INDIRECT("'"&Employees&"'!B9"),"<="&$AI$5),ROW(Employees)-ROW(Emp
loyees)+1)),
ROWS(B$5:$B5))),"")
