I want to use Ron de Bruin's RDB_Last function (see code below) to find the
last row with data in a column, but I'm not sure if my intended call will
work correctly, as my data starts in row B5.

Intended call:

RDB_Last(1, "B")

Or should I call if more like:

RDB_Last(1, "B5:B5000")

Thanks,

RocketDude

Function RDB_Last(choice As Integer, rng As Range)
'Ron de Bruin, 5 May 2008
' 1 = last row

Select Case choice

Case 1:

Hi RocketDude

Use this if your range not start in the first row

Sub LastRow_Example()
Dim LastRow As Long
Dim rng As Range

'Use a range on the sheet
Set rng = Sheets("Sheet1").Range("B5:B500")

' Find the last row
LastRow = Last(1, rng)

If LastRow = 0 Then
MsgBox "The range is empty"
Else
MsgBox LastRow
End If
End Sub
