hey all,
I'm trying to set the print area for a sheet after data is updated.
The populating range can vary constantly so I need to determine the last
column and the last row.
I think I'm missing it on the column part because I need to know the Row
Letter instead of the value?

Please help!

I'm using the following code:

Private Sub btnUpdate_Click()

Call K1_Review ' updates the current sheet

'set print area

Dim LRow As Integer
LRow = Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Row
Dim LCol As String
LCol = Range("CA18").End(xlToLeft).Column

'Range("A4: & LCol & LRow").Select
ActiveSheet.PageSetup.printarea = "$A$4:$" & LCol & "$" & LRow

End Sub
