Better way to find last used row
You should use a with statement to qualify both your Rows
and Columns
counts. This will prevent any errors while working with older pre 2007 and newer 2007 Excel Workbooks.
Last Column
With Sheets("Sheet2")
.Cells(1, .Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column
End With
Last Row
With Sheets("Sheet2")
.Range("A" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
End With
Or
With Sheets("Sheet2")
.Cells(.Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
End With
How is this?
dim rownum as integer
dim colnum as integer
dim lstrow as integer
dim lstcol as integer
dim r as range
'finds the last row
lastrow = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count
'finds the last column
lastcol = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Columns.Count
'sets the range
set r = range(cells(rownum,colnum), cells(lstrow,lstcol))
