last occurence
 

Public Function LastOcc(Table As Range, Value As Variant)
' Finds the last occurence of a value in the first column

Dim i As Integer

For i = 1 To Table.Rows.Count

If Table.Cells(i, 1) = Value Then
LastOcc = i
End If

Next i

End Functio

Hi Monika.

This is modification of a function that finds you the k-th occurence of
a value. I didn't try it out so let me know in case it doesn't work,
alright?

How about this:

Sub test()
Dim rng As Range

With ActiveSheet.Columns(2)
Set rng = .Find("FindMe", .Cells(1), xlValues, xlPart, xlByColumns,
xlPrevious, False)
If Not rng Is Nothing Then rng.Select
End With
End Sub

Public Function LastOcc(Table As Range, Value As Variant, Col A
Integer)
' Finds the last occurence of a value in the first column

Dim i As Integer

For i = 1 To Table.Rows.Count

If Table.Cells(i, Col) = Value Then
LastOcc = i
End If

Next i

End Function


...almost the same as above but the function takes the column you wan
to search in as an argument (while before search could only b
performed in column 1). there's one restriction to this solution: th
cell containing the function should not be in the same column you ar
looking for occurences ... (will return '0' otherwise even if you
value does occur in this column)
