Hi all,

I have the code below (kindly provided by a genius from this forum) that
determines the active print range for a sheet. It works perfectly, however,
I wish to expand this returned range by 1 row. I have experimented with
offset but so far have had no success. Any ideas would be welcomed!

With ActiveSheet
.PageSetup.PrintArea = ""
.PageSetup.PrintArea = ActiveSheet.Range("A1:Q" &
LastRowRange(ActiveSheet)).Address
End With

Function LastRowRange(sh As Worksheet)
'This function determines the active print range for a list and returns a
range object.

On Error Resume Next
LastRowRange = sh.Range("A:A").Find(What:="*", _
After:=sh.Range("A1"), _
Lookat:=xlPart, _
LookIn:=xlFormulas, _
SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _
SearchDirection:=xlPrevious, _
MatchCase:=False).Row
On Error GoTo 0

End Function

Add + 1 to the row reference in the function i.e:

Function LastRowRange(sh As Worksheet)

On Error Resume Next
LastRowRange = sh.Range("A:A").Find(What:="*", _
After:=sh.Range("A1"), _
Lookat:=xlPart, _
LookIn:=xlFormulas, _
SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _
SearchDirection:=xlPrevious, _
MatchCase:=False).Row + 1
On Error GoTo 0

End Function

Hope this helps
Rowan

I think you can use the .Resize method to extend the range. You will need a
dash of code to get the .Rows.Count of the range you are working with. Say
the range is Rng:

Set Rng = Rng.Resize(Rng.Rows.Count+1)

Also, be aware that LastRowRange FAILS if data in column(s) other than A
extend further down than the data in column A. Finding the very last cell or
row is very thorny. I know there are several good methods, the one below is
not very versatile. I generally use this:

LastRow = activesheet.usedrange.cells(1).row + _
activesheet.usedrange.rows.count

but it may not be perfect for you because rows which are just formatted
count as part of the UsedRange. I think you want to have a range with data
values only be chosen. So col A cuts it, go for it.

it can be made much simpler...

With ActiveSheet
.PageSetup.PrintArea = "A1:Q" & _
Application.WorksheetFunction.Match("*", .Range("A:A"), False)
End With

furthethermore, to offset by another row, just add the offset required...


With ActiveSheet
.PageSetup.PrintArea = "A1:Q" & _
Application.WorksheetFunction.Match("*", .Range("A:A"), False) + 1
End With

Hi Patrick,

Does:

Application.WorksheetFunction.Match("*", .Range("A:A"), False)

not return the row number of the first populated cell in column A, rather
than the last?

it does what the original code does - finds the '*'

The last used row is a column is RANGE("A65000").End(XLup).Row

so if thats the method you want, use:

With ActiveSheet
.PageSetup.PrintArea = "A1:Q" & ( .Range("A65000").End(XLup).Row +1)
End With

Thanks Rowan, Patrick, Dave and William,
Your responses are much appreciated!

I decided to go with Rowan's suggestion as it seemed a simple mod to my code
and it worked perfectly. I am adding the other suggestions to my Excel
knowledge base as I'm sure they will come in handy too.

Ciao
Lawrence

Just a thought....

If that lastrowrange subroutine is used for different things, you may not want
to change it.

That's why I just added 1 to what that subroutine returned.
