Default Getting to last used cell

Well that did work. I just had to go all the way to row 65536 to delete all
of them, but now I can CRTL +End and get to the last filled cell on my
worksheet.

Thank you.

After deleting.....not clearing.........the rows below 1308 you must SAVE the
workbook for your changes to take effect.

Excel commonly over-estimates the used range of a worksheet if you have used
those cells at one time then just cleared the contents.

Thanks for the input.
Ctrl + End goes to cell G 1643 and my data ends at F 1308.
I do not understand why it goes to that cell as my end. I tried selecting
all the blank rows after 1308 and deleting them and clearing them, but it
still goes there.

I am using excel 2003.

You could try Edit/GoTo/Special - last cell (or Control+End), however,
sometimes the last cell does not have data in it (it could just have some
formatting done to it - or sometimes excel gets confused as to what the last
cell is). Also, if you have data in cell D14 and F11, the last cell will be
F14 (intersection of the last row/last column).

You can also hold down the Control key and hit one of the arrow keys which
will take you to the end (you will have to hit the arrow key several times if
there are breaks in your data - or select a cell in an empty column hit
Cntrl+Down Arrow to go the the bottom of the sheet, then click on a cell in
the column you want and hit Cntrl+Up Arrow).

Or you could try a macro, but depending on what you consider the last cell
(in the above example, would it be cell D14 or F11), you may need to change
Searchorder from xlByRows to xlByColumns.

Sub Macro1()
Cells.Find(What:="*", _
After:=Range("A1"), _
LookIn:=xlValues, _
LookAt:=xlPart, _
SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _
SearchDirection:=xlPrevious, _
MatchCase:=False).Activate
End Sub
