Better way of finding last row on sheet
 

Hi,

Can anyone improve on this formula to find the last row of a sheet:-

Sheet1.Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Row

This keeps finding row 26 as the last row when I only have 3 rows of data.

Any ideas?

Andi,

Did you check cell A26 to see if it had a space or some non-printing character in it?

Hi Andibevan,

I guess that the last cell is really in 26th row.
This should select it (the same as Ctrl+End)

sub selectlastcell()
Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeLastCell).select
end sub

Save your work and use this to recover your really last cell:
(this will reset the undo operations memory!)

sub recoverlastcell()
ActiveSheet.UsedRange
end sub

sounds likes cell(A26) an "invisible" space/etc character ??

Do you have formulas in cells 4 thru 26? This would cause your
problem.

You could also do something like


Code:
--------------------
Range("A1").Select
While Activecell.Value < ""
Selection.Offset(1,0).Select
Wend
--------------------

I very much doubt it, this technique doesn't suffer the last used cell
problem that say Ctlr-End suffers. You must have something in A26. Try
?LEN(Range("A26")) in the immediate window

Thank-you all for your very helpful comments - I was missing the obvious (as
usual).

There was some hidden text in row 26 - now works fine

Thanks all

The first question is, is there anything in cell a26? This procedure will
stop at anything
