last row in ANY column
Hi all,
I found several tips for finding the last row containing data in a specific column. But what can I do for finding the last row containing not empty cells in any of the columns? Stefi |

Many times gives inaccurate results for me.

Tom,
Thanks! Forgot that Excel remembers the last cell even if all entries have been cleared. -- steveB Remove "AYN" from email to respond "Tom Ogilvy" wrote in message ...

Thanks to both of you!
Is it true that if it's certain that no cells were cleared after the last one, then Steve's simpler solution gives an accurate result? Stefi €žSTEVE BELL€ť ezt Ă*rta: Tom, Thanks!

Hi Steffi,
Is it true that if it's certain that no cells were cleared after the last one, then Steve's simpler solution gives an accurate result? Note Tom Ogilvy's comment: so you can use just this line: RealLastRow = _ Cells.Find("*", [A1], , , xlByRows, xlPrevious).Row The macro provided by Tom: Returns the last populated row Returns the last populated column Selects the last populated cell. Tom's oneliner would seem to provide a solution to your explicit request which is both simple (short) and consistently accurate. --- Regards, Norman "Stefi" wrote in message ...

Hi Norman,
Thanks for the explanation! May I ask you to explain further, why "*" is "The data to search for", and why [A1] the cell reference "after which you want the search to begin" (I mean why A1 is closed within brackets instead of "" as in other cases?

May I ask you to explain further, why "*" is "The data to search for", and why [A1] the cell reference "after which you want the search to begin" (I mean why A1 is closed within brackets instead of "" as in other cases? Stefi The asterisk ( "*" ) is an Excel wildcard which represents any character or group of characters. It is used in Tom's code to search for any cell content. [A1] defines the same range as the conventional Range("A1") notation. It is normally more efficient and faster to use the 'long-hand' form, but in this case the square bracket notation is more concise and clear while the inefficiency overhead is totally insignificant. For more on square brackets, look at the 'Evaluate Method' in VBA Help. --- Regards, Norman "Stefi" wrote in message ... Hi Norman, Thanks for the explanation!

Hi Norman,
Now it's clear, but what happens if one has to search just an asterisk as real content of cells? I saw somewhere ""*"" -like notation, would it work in this case?

Hi Steffi,
Now it's clear, but what happens if one has to search just an asterisk as real content of cells? I saw somewhere ""*"" -like notation, would it work in this case? In that case, simply use a preceding tilde(~) character which instructs Excel to trear the asterisk as a literal character rather than a wildcard. --- Regards, Norman |
