Hello, this has got me stumped. Being fairly new I hope you'll bear with me.
I have selected cellA1:A500 and sorted it so that only filled cells appear
from A1 onwards. However I'm never sure where the filled range will end and
want to store the 1st empty cellname in a variable too shorten my read loop.
But how do I determine the 1st empty cell?

thanks for any help.
Chris

You can use this Chris

Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).row
This wis the last cell with a value inn column A

For Myrow = 1 To Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).row

Chris

set rng = Range("A1:A500").Specialcells(xlblanks)(1)


or

set rng = cells(rows.count,1).End(xlup)(2)
