How can I select the first blank cell
 

Hi all,
please help. I have to add every day new data (number of rows is various) to
existing data sheet. I suppose to use macro and run that automatically at
night. As I have to add it to table where number of rows will groe up, I need
to start copying new data to the first blank cell in the first column. How
can I force macro to find this blank cell when the position will shift?
Many thanks,
Valdemar

How can I select the first blank cell
 

Find the end of a list:
here are a couple different ways:

this will select the cell. it's not a good practice to select, but just used
as
an illustration here.

range(worksheets("Sheet1").cells(rows.Count,"A").e nd(xlup).address).Select

or if you just want A5 returned:

lastcell = worksheets("Sheet1").cells(rows.Count,"A").end(xlu p).address(0,0)

Find Last Used Cell:
Sub FindLastCell1()
Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Select
End Sub

Sub FindLastCell2()
Range("A:A").Find("*", Cells(1), _
xlValues, xlWhole, xlByRows, xlPrevious).Select
End Sub

Valdemar,

ActiveSheet.Cells(Rows.Count,1).End(xlUp)(2).Selec t

will select the first empty cell at the bottom of column A.
