Could somebody help me with some code to perform this.

I have a spread sheet with a varying amount of rows.

It gets updated daily and i run some code to do various things. I need
to go down to the last row with data in and then delete the rest. I
think that when the spreed sheet is set up (by somebody else), they set
the area as when i use some other code that i found to go to the bottom
of data it finds more than what there is?!
The code below is what i use to see how many rows.

myRows = last
On Error Resume Next
last = ActiveSheet.Cells.Find(What:="", _
After:=[A1], _
Lookat:=xlPart, _
LookIn:=xlFormulas, _
SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _
SearchDirection:=xlPrevious, _
MatchCase:=False).Row
On Error GoTo 0
MsgBox last

Instead of that try this. I had the same problem with imported sheets being
huge with blank space, this fixed them.

You need to search for something in a cell, not a blank cell ("*"). Here is
a macro from Debra Dalgliesh that resets the last cell of the sheet, rows
and columns both. HTH Otto

Tempy,

That doesn't make sense. If you go to the bottom, why would you want to
delete the rest, there is nothing to delete.

This will get you to the last row in column A

Cells(Rows.Count,"A").End(xlUp).Select

Otto:
After running this macro I found that you must Close the file (and answer
"Yes" to the q Do you wish to save?) and then re-open to have the
Control-end actually goto the last-used cell. Could the Close/re-open be
included in the original macro?
TIA,

Debra documents this on that link:

4. Save the file. Note: In older versions of Excel,
you may have to Save, then close and re-open
the file before the used range is reset.

Thanks Dave - I should have gone to the link as Otto suggested...
I should remember that (for next time).
Thanks,
