If you know that A1 and A2 contain data, you can use the following:
Cells(Range("A1").End(xlDown).Row + 1, "A").Select
To cover the cases where A1 or A2 might be empty you need to add more logic.
You can test individual cells using the IsEmpty function:
If IsEmpty(Range("A1")) Then
Range("A1").Select
ElseIf IsEmpty(Range("A2")) Then
Range("A2").Select
Else
Cells(Range("A1").End(xlDown).Row + 1, "A").Select
End If

I am looking for a function that will search column A and return the
address of the first blank cell. I have been trying to do this with an
Address & Match combo as follows:
=ADDRESS(MATCH(9.99999999999999E+307,A:A)+1,1)
Alone this formula works great. However, when I put it in a macro, it
doesn't work. Here is my macro:
ActiveWorkbook.Names.Add Name:="ABC", RefersToR1C1:= _
"=OFFSET(INDIRECT(ADDRESS(MATCH(""EML*"",Sheet1!C6 ,0),6)),0,-5,COUNTIF(Sheet1!C6,LEFT(""EML*"",5)),COUNTA(Sheet 1!R4))"
ActiveWorkbook.Names.Add Name:="EMPTY", RefersToR1C1:= _
"=ADDRESS(MATCH(9.99999999999999E+307,Sheet1!R1C1) + 1,1,4)"
Range("ABC").Select
Selection.Copy
Sheets("Sheet2").Select
Range("A4").Select
ActiveSheet.paste
Range("EMPTY").Select
Basically the macro is taking "ABC" which is a specific chunk of
accounting data in a much larger pool of data from Sheet1 and
copy/pasting it to Sheet2. What I was hoping the macro would do is
then select the first empty cell in Column A under what I just pasted.
Visual Basic doesn't seem to like my "Empty" reference. The Debugger
pops up at Range("EMPTY").Select.
Anyone have any advice. Any help is much appreciated!!!
