Inserting subset

I have one question about subsets: How to insert it? Sounds a little bit stupid, but I did not find out by doing or searching here or RTM, how to get a plain vertical list of dimension base elements, which spans as long downwards as needed to display all base elements or dynamically just those allowed to view by the user. The subset itself is designed as a global one.
Do I need to highlight the complete space on the spreadsheet before inserting? How could I know the largest span size of it ever in advance? Is there a function/shortcut to indicate "as needed" ?
Or just inserting the subset in the topmost cell? But if I do this, I dont receive a long list in user mode, but only one value...
Could I get somewhere a more detailled description how to use dynaranges in an advance manner? The manual just gives a very short example and states only, that its dynamic, but nowhere in detail something about tricks and special cases...

Best regards,
Stefan

Once you have defined a dynarange (e.g. vertical) you may of course insert an existing subset or create one on the fly while inserting. Your view will dynamically adjust, that is the number of rows will match the number of your subset elements. No need to mark the whole expected range. Try again.

OK, thanks a lot. That's what I expected after reading the web manual, so I might have done something simply wrong...
