I've tried it all.... No matter what I do, I can not reset the last used
cell range. It goes to cell IV65536. Can I force a reset so that the range
would only be A1:W116?

I ran a few Macros available online, as well as Deleted all rowa except the
ones I wanted. I closed and reopened, I reset any and all mergerd cell... I
am stumped!

try copying a1:w116 to a new, unused workbook.
then delete the old workbook (assuming it doesn't contain macros or
things that would need to be moved over to the new workbook).
hope that helps!

another solution would be to abandon the last used cell range
idea............

dim MyLastRow as long
dim MyRange as range

'checks column 1 (A) for the last non-blank cell
MyLastRow = worksheets("Sheet1").cells(10000,1).end(xlup).row
set MyRange = worksheets("Sheet1").range("a1:w" & MyLastRow)


just another idea.

Did you delete the rows by highlighting them and pressing the Delete key? Or
did you right-click in the highlighted area and click Delete...

highlight row 117, hold the shift key, press the End key, press the
downarrow key, right-click in the highlighted area and click Delete...

highlight column X, hold the shift key, press the End key, press the
rightarrow key, right-click in the highlighted area and click Delete...

close and save the workbook. Reopen.

One other thing, is the workbook shared?

Hi MJM

Try below.

Sub FindLast()
ActiveSheet.UsedRange
Dim x as long
x = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count
ActiveCell.SpecialCells(xlLastCell).Select
End Sub

Good afternoon
Joergen Bondesen

The macro you wrote will take me to cell IV65536. The last cell with any
data in it is W116 . I can not clear the USED RANGE area so that it no
longer goes to IV65536.

I could do as susan suggest and put all the data into a new sheet, only
copying the cell's with data and formula's, but there are Macro's that would
also need to be moved that I was hoping not to have to do.

I tried with the info from Debra's site as well as a Macro from
David McRitchie, http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/lastcell.htm
Davids has worked very well with other sheets, but not his one?

Hi MJM



Sorry about my late answer, but I have been on a short holiday.



I forgot one thing in the macro, you must save the file before any change
take place.





Option Explicit



Sub FindLast2()
ActiveSheet.UsedRange
Dim x As Long
x = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count
ActiveWorkbook.Save
ActiveCell.SpecialCells(xlLastCell).Select
End Sub



I have sometime experienced to have an odd sheet, where above macro can do
nothing.

You can fine such a sheet by selecting a cell in row 1 (and there must be an
empty cell before last row with data) and then hit the keys: End - Arrow
down.

If you end in last row (and there is empty cells in your test column) you
have an odd sheet. I do not know what to do.


I have tried to copy range, but it do not change anything.



If you still reach cell IV65536, you are welcome to send me the file
