finding last used column
 

Hi

I'm looking for a way to find the last used column in a given row.
I've tried a couple methods without much luck. I've tried to replicate
the

lastrow = Cells(Rows.Count, "c").End(xlUp).Row

for rows with

lastcolumn = cells("5", columns).End(xlLeft).Column

but this never seems to work for me, one problem i think i might be
having is that i can't reference a specific row number, as i'm using a
variable to identify the row name as well. any suggestions?

Hi Craig,

Try something like:

'=============
Public Sub Tester()
Dim rw As Long
Dim lastCol As Long

rw = 2 '<<==== CHANGE

lastCol = Cells(rw, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column

MsgBox lastCol
End Sub
'<<=============

Hi Craig,

Try this...

Public Function LastColumn(r As Long)
If Cells(r, Columns.Count).Value = "" Then
LastColumn = Cells(r, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column
Else
LastColumn = Columns.Count
End If
End Function

You can call this function from a worksheet formula or a subroutine.
