I have done a lot of work to set up a specific automated counting system. The last piece of the puzzle is being able to use a reference instead of "Hard Coding" the range.
I have set up two columns on the side:
The first is name of the range of cells I want.
The second is the range of cells with a concatenated counter moving the last number up each row.
Is it even possible to reference another cell to get a range?
Ex: Countif(row2,"Hawaii")
Note: The states are in column5
