i got this from tek-tips forum but i can't seem to get it working... do
i have to add anything? i'm pretty new at coding so i'm still
learning...

what i'm basically trying to do is this:
i have col A - R
they're all different lengts... some are the same but usually there's
one or 2 which are usually the longest... like, A might only be through
row 17, but C may be all the way through 34, and so on... all i need is
something that will find the longest column, go 3 cells down from that
and select A# (# being the last row + 3)

Sub FindLastRow()
r = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count
c = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Columns.Count
LastRow = ActiveSheet.Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeLastCell) .Row
End Sub

Try something like this

Sub FindLastRow()
Dim LastRow As Long
If WorksheetFunction.CountA(Cells) 0 Then
'Search for any entry, by searching backwards by Rows.
LastRow = Cells.Find(What:="*", After:=[A1], _
SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _
SearchDirection:=xlPrevious).Row
MsgBox LastRow
End If
End Sub

Sub FindLastRow()
lastRow = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count
Range("A" & lastRow+3).Select
End Sub

A more accurate method has been posted in the past

Sub GetRealLastCell()
Dim RealLastRow As Long
Dim RealLastColumn As Long
Range("A1").Select
On Error Resume Next
RealLastRow = _
Cells.Find("*", [A1], , , xlByRows, xlPrevious).Row
RealLastColumn = _
Cells.Find("*", [A1], , , xlByColumns, xlPrevious).Column
Cells(RealLastRow, RealLastColumn).Select
End Sub



You could adapt this to



Sub FindLastRow
RealLastRow = _
Range("A:R").Find("*", [A1], , , xlByRows, xlPrevious).Row
Range("A" & RealLastRow+3).Select
End Sub

Try this

Sub Test()
Dim LastRow As Long
If WorksheetFunction.CountA(Cells) 0 Then
LastRow = Cells.Find(What:="*", After:=[A1], _
SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _
SearchDirection:=xlPrevious).Row
Range(Cells(LastRow, 1), Cells(LastRow + 3, 1)).Select
End If
End Sub
