Does anybody know how to return the value (maybe in a msgBox) from first row in the column where the curser is placed ? If I use "activecell.End(xlUp).value" then it will not go all the way to the top if there is some blank cell.

Kent,

If you really want row 1, use
MsgBox ActiveSheet.Cells(1, ActiveCell.Column).Value

If you want the first cell in the column containing data, use


Dim R As Range
Set R = ActiveSheet.Cells(1, ActiveCell.Column)
If R.Value = "" Then
Set R = R.End(xlDown)
End If
MsgBox R.Value

Cells(1,activecell.column).select

for first row

cells(1,activecell.column).end(xldown).select

for first row with data
