Dynamic Named Range Failure
Trisa58 , no problem.
In test file in the formula you started range from A8, actually it's from A1. In main file you have the cell with empty string below your months, thus COUNTA returned incorrect result. Since we have only twelve months in the year I'd recommend to limit the range accordingly, not use A:A. Finally the formula is
=OFFSET(SUMMARY!$A$2,0,0,COUNTA(SUMMARY!$A$1:$A$13)-1,1)
I corrected in both files. Please be carefull with relative and absolute references, here all are to be absolute.
I will upload, you take your time. I really appreciate any and all help you can give.

Thank you, I will check these out.
Again, I greatly appreciate all your help. I've worked with Excel for years, but never any formal training on formulas.
