I have an Excel spreadsheet linked to an Access database. On one worksheet I have some formulas that include ranges to calculate some of the data from the import.

However, each time I refresh the data, the upper cell named in the range within the formula has increased. E.g. $A$2:$A$10000 could read $A$2:$A$10020 at next refresh.

Is this typical of a link to access? I set all ranges from 2:10000 to take into account future growth in the number of records in the database. Have I then, set my ranges up wrong? If so, how should I do it? (A dynamic named range isn't suitable to use for my purposes in Excel because there will be many blanks in some record fields).


Also, why do I keep getting errors on the Excel worksheet if a record is deleted in the access database?
 
If the access table increases, so should the excel sheet.
If you delete records, excel could show DELETED lines, until the table is compacted.
