Hi all

I used UsedRange from the ActiveSheet to loop through each cell and process
data.

Sometimes I have blank rows inside my range. This works fine with UsedRange.
Sometimes the first few rows are blanks and they must be processed as well.
However, UsedRange does not pick them up.

I appreciate that this is the intended functionality of the UsedRange. But
is it possible for UsedRange to be discriminatory and exclude only the
trailing blank rows?

I cannot used a fixed range as the number of columns and cells in my sheet
can be different for different files.
Any ideas?

Many thanks
Andy

Try something like this

Range("B2).select 'place the activecell in the data area
ActiveCell.CurrentRegion.Select

This selects empty cells and headers

Peter

Many thanks Jim and Peter. I will test them both out.


Range("A1", Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeLastCell))

Adjust A1 if you want to start from another cell.
