How do i find last not empty cell in a range
 

My senario (xl2003)
B3,B4,B4 holds an X
C5,C6,C8,C9,C10 holds an X
E4,E5,E6,E7 holds an X
and nothing more on that sheet

Is there a formula that return's a cell-address C10 (last not empty)

And how to do the same in VBA
i no about selection.specialcell.xllast to find row 10
and now i do a loop thru rng A10 to F10
but is there another smart way ?

How do i find last not empty cell in a range
 

Perhaps:

Function lastone(r As Range) As String
For Each rr In r
If IsEmpty(rr) Then
Else
lastone = rr.Address(RowAbsolute:=False, ColumnAbsolute:=False)
End If
Next
End Function

Hi,

There is a problem here - C10 is the last row with a non empty cell but
column E is the last column with a non empty cell. And what do you want to
do if C10, E10 and A10 are all non empty.

The formula for the last non-empty cell in a specific column is

=ADDRESS(MAX((B1:B16<"")*(ROW(B1:B16))),COLUMN())

This assumes you are putting the formula into the same column as the cells
you are checking. If not change the last argument to read COLUMN(B1)

thanks for reply Gary
but supose it was a wery large range to test
that why i dont wana use a loop or as u do for each

thanks for reply Shane
yes it is cell C10 i wana find or in another word which column have data in
the highest row
in my shenario i dont no which column i have to look in that what the
formula have to figure out
sry my french

How do i find last not empty cell in a range
 

=MAX(IF(A1:F500<"",ROW(A1:F500))) - returns 10 (row)
=MAX(IF(A10:F10<"",COLUMN(A10:F10))) - returns 3 (column C)

So i need a way to put these together as 1 formula

and then put this in a address formula

how ??

Not sure why you only want the address, especially if you are going to do
another formula built around it (there is usually a better way for that
scenario than creating the address); however, to answer your question, give
this array-entered** formula a try...

=ADDRESS(MAX((A1:F6000<"")*ROW(A1:A6000)),MAX(IF( INDIRECT("A"&MAX((A1:F6000<"")*ROW(A1:A6000))&":F "&MAX((A1:F6000<"")*ROW(A1:A6000)))<"",COLUMN(IN DIRECT("A"&MAX((A1:F6000<"")*ROW(A1:A6000))&":F"& MAX((A1:F6000<"")*ROW(A1:A6000)))))))

**Commit formula using Ctrl+Shift+Enter and not just Enter by itself

Note: Change all occurrences of 6000 to the maximum row number you ever
expect to have data in.

Got it now - 1 liners
Find's leftmost last not empty
Rows(Selection.SpecialCells(xlLastCell).Row).Speci alCells(xlCellTypeConstants, 23).Cells(1).Select
Find's second leftmost last not empty
Rows(Selection.SpecialCells(xlLastCell).Row).Speci alCells(xlCellTypeConstants, 23).Cells(2).Select

Need to be a little carefull:

Sub lastone()
Dim i As Long
i = Selection.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeLastCell).Row
MsgBox (i)
End Sub

will return the last row in UsedRange, even if Selection is only a sub-set
of UsedRange.
