Finding the last row in a sheet in a closed workbook.
 

I know there is a way to find the last used row in a spreadsheet, but
I'd like to know if there is any way to determine the last row used in
a range in a spreadsheet in a closed workbook.

Depends on what the data looks like, but if there will be no blanks inside a
column of data

=countA(C:\myfolder\[Myfiler.xls]Sheet1!$A:$A)


would be something to try. Put this formula in a cell, then check the
returned value and remove the formula.

Hi Peter,

You have to open it to find out. You can do it invisibly for the user
by using application.ScreenUpdating = false before opening.

Tom, your suggestion works, if I'm doing it from within anothe
worksheet. What I forgot to mention (the original post was around 3am
is that I'm trying to do this in a VBA procedure. Do you, or doe
anyone know how to execute a worksheet function from within vba?
Thanks for your idea Tom.

Jean-Yves, I haven't tried your idea yet, but I'm about to

The easiest and fastest is to just do the same in a worksheet cell (just
using activecell as an example)

Activecell.Formula = "=countA(C:\myfolder\[Myfiler.xls]Sheet1!$A:$A)"
lastrow = ActiveCell.Value
ActiveCell.clearcontents
