Hi,

At present, I have a main file which imports data from 3 seperate excel
files. Each of which contains a number of rows of data. I would call up
one of these workbooks by the following;

Workbooks(StdfFile1).Activate

Now that this workbook is open, I would like to be able to "scan" how
many rows of data this sheet contains.

By knowing the number of rows in this file, I will be able to format my
main file better, and thereby reduce it's file size.

Anybody got ideas?

Jerry

Hi,

You can get the last non-blank row in Sheet1 by using the following (this
works up from last row in the sheet):

Dim lastrow as Long

With Worksheets("Sheet1")
lastrow=.Cells(rows.count,"A").end(xlup).row
End with

This assumes that column A is the "longest" so if this not the case, change
"A" to appropriate column.
