Is it possible to find the bottom of a sheet, say there are 1500 entries in
column A... and then select F9:F1500 if column F doesn't have values in every
row?

For example, the next time the macro is run thier maybe 1505 rows in the
sheet...

here is a test code that doesn't work for me... but may help convey my idea.

Dim c As Variant

Range("A9").Select
Selection.End(xlDown).Select
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 5).Select
Set c = ActiveCell
Range("f9").Select
Range(Selection, Selection.c(xlDown)).Select

Try this John

Sub test()
Dim lr As Long
lr = Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
Range("F9:F" & lr).Select
End Sub

Thank yous to all of you, both Ron's and Bernie's one liner worked...

my code adaption didn't, but problem solved.

Range("A9").Select
Selection.End(xlDown).Select
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 5).Select
Set c = ActiveCell
Range("f9").Select
Range(Selection, c)).Select

Thanks again!

John,

My mistake - I left in an extra ) on that last line: take it out, and that code will work.

John,

This is how your code should have been written to work:

Range("A9").Select
Selection.End(xlDown).Select
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 5).Select
Set c = ActiveCell
Range("f9").Select
Range(Selection, c)).Select

But this one line will work just as well

Range("A9", Range("A9").End(xlDown)).Offset(0, 5).Select

Bernie,

The OP should go with Ron's code which works from the bottom of the page -
up

Your code works from the top down and will stop at the 1st blank cell. The
OP says that there are sporadic blank cells...

That's why I used column A, since the sporadic blanks cells are in column F.
