I have a table that ranges from "A:EV".
I want to find the last row of only range "A:DD".
The columns might have blank cells, so I need to go through all and find the furthest row of columns A to DD.
How can I code it?
- 1Same way you check for a single column. Then generate a loop to go from column A to DD checking where the last row. Store the maximum value. This link should give you a good starting pointForward Ed– Forward Ed2016-05-06 16:20:55 +00:00Commented May 6, 2016 at 16:20

- My problem is also that I get the last row of the table and not with actual data because the table has some blanks in the last rows and it is giving me wrong number.carlos_cs– carlos_cs2016-05-06 16:30:40 +00:00Commented May 6, 2016 at 16:30
- Then use the FIND() method in the link provided by @ForwardEd . It will find the last row with data not formatting.Scott Craner– Scott Craner2016-05-06 16:32:59 +00:00Commented May 6, 2016 at 16:32

Else lastrow= 1000? shouldn't that be 1 for an empty worksheet? Assuming that is the only time you would fall into the else statment

@ForwardEd yes but I wanted to show that it was not defaulting to the else. I will change it and put a note.
And to adjust the range a bit, change the two column letters in these two lines.
This one searches over columns A:DD.
lastrow = .Range("A:DD").Find(What:="*", _ After:=.Range("A1"), _ This version narrows the search range to Y:DD
lastrow = .Range("Y:DD").Find(What:="*", _ After:=.Range("Y1"), _

And with a little voodo, if you are interested in also getting the column where the lastrow was found but don't want to exract it from .Address, use this.
