I need to format 5 sheets the same way; number formats, borders, etc. The
number of rows to format on each sheet is different. I'd like to loop through
the formatting code but specify the range to format on each sheet. Starting
row on each sheet is 9, but I need to determine the last cell and select the
range to format. I'm trying to avoid repeating code. If you can help I'd
really appreciate it. TIA, and have a great holiday!

If you want to find the last cell in the used range, check out this
code. It assumes that A9 is the upper-left cell of your range.

Dim myLastRow As Long
Dim myLastColumn As Long
Dim myLastCell As String
Dim myRange As String

myLastRow = Cells.Find("*", [A1], , , xlByRows, xlPrevious).Row
myLastColumn = Cells.Find("*", [A1], , , xlByColumns,
xlPrevious).Column
myLastCell = Cells(myLastRow, myLastColumn).Address
myRange = "A9:" & myLastCell

"myRange" will be the block of text consisting of whatever range is on
the sheet.

You can use this variable with any of the properties of the Range
object, such as: Cut, Copy, Sort, Clear, etc

ex:
Range(myRange).Cut

Awesome, JP! Thanks for the help. I'll be using this code in many workbooks
I'm sure.
