Hi,

How can I return the row number (in VB inside a macro) of the last
data-containing cell in a particular column?


Thanks for any help,

Jon

Jon,

Try something like the following:

Dim RowNum As Long
RowNum = Cells(Rows.Count,"A").End(xlUp).Row

Change the "A" to the column of interest.

Thanks for the help, Chip.

I want to use the result in the next part of the code in place of the 400:

Rows("6:400").Sort ..............

but it doesn't seem to work.

Is there something else that I need to do, or should I be approaching this
in another way?

Thanks once again for any help,

Jon

Rows("6:" & rowNum).Sort


demo'd from the immediate window:

rowNum = 600
? Rows("6:" & rowNum).Address
$6:$600
