Default The best sub for last row / last column / last cell?

Hi Chip/Tom

If you only want to know it for one column there is no problem
There are a few postings about last cells today so maybe I am confused <g

But if you copy a range to the last row + 1 in A and the range have empty cell in A the next time
It will overwrite data.

That's why I say use the function

See my site for another way

Be aware that if you copy a range with also empty cells in it, It is
possible that the next time you copy to Sheets("Sheet2")some lines will be
overwritten.


Sorry, I have to much xml in my head . <vbg

I think you mean that if at least one cell in A has data, which I took as an
assumption. It will fail if A(Rows.Count) has data in it. But I NEVER let
data go down that far. It in no way requires that ALL the cells in A have
data. It will return the last row even if A has blanks interspersed within
the data. Unless A is completely empty or A(Rows.Count) has data, it works
fine.

LastRow = ActiveSheet.Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row ' Column A

Text from my site:

You can also check one row or column to find the last cell with a value.

Lr = Sheets("sheet2").Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).Row
This will give you the last row with data in Column A + 1 Row

Lc = Sheets("Sheet2").Range("IV1").End(xlToLeft).Offset (0, 1).Column
This will give you the last column with data in Row 1 + 1 column

Be aware that if you copy a range with also empty cells in it, It is
possible that the next time you copy to Sheets("Sheet2")some lines will be
overwritten.
Use the Functions to avoid this kind of problems.

Chip,

This code is so short and simple. If it works for everything, then why
would people go through writing all sorts of functions to be called, etc.
to figure out the same thing?

Thanks
