thanks for your patience.
the number of blank cells is variable after first set of non blank
cells.

Is it always the next cell after the first two blank cells, but the row can
be different? If so, I think your solution is as good as any. You could
also do something like:

Range("A1").End(xlDown).Offset(3).Select

but it looks like you've thought of something like that. I need a better
description of the pattern.

thanks.
that is not the last non blank cell but i have to come down to a
particular
cell which needs end(xldonw) 2 or 3 times.
is there something like
<end(xldown)(2)
if know this gives me some other cell i.e. gives me
end(xldown).offset(1,0)

my data is
1
2
3
(two blank cells)

4
5
6
I want to go to 4
<range("a1").end(xldown).end(xldown).select gives 4

I you're trying to select the last non-blank cell in the column then this
would work:

Cells(Rows.Count, ActiveCell.Column).End(xlUp).Select
