Determining the last row in a single column

Question

I have a sheet with data in cols A through H.

I need to determine the last row in column A that contains data (it\'s all conti

Answer 1

This will get the last row in a sheet assuming based on column A.

function getLastDataRow(sheet) {
  var lastRow = sheet.getLastRow();
  var range = sheet.getRange("A" + lastRow);
  if (range.getValue() !== "") {
    return lastRow;
  } else {
    return range.getNextDataCell(SpreadsheetApp.Direction.UP).getRow();
  }              
}

This fixes @mrityunjay-pandey partially-correct answer.

To extend this answer to get the last row and column, we can use:

function columnToLetter(column) {
  var temp, letter = '';
  while (column > 0) {
    temp = (column - 1) % 26;
    letter = String.fromCharCode(temp + 65) + letter;
    column = (column - temp - 1) / 26;
  }
  return letter;
}

function letterToColumn(letter) {
  var column = 0, length = letter.length;
  for (var i = 0; i < length; i++) {
    column += (letter.charCodeAt(i) - 64) * Math.pow(26, length - i - 1);
  }
  return column;
}

function getLastDataColumn(sheet) {
  var lastCol = sheet.getLastColumn();
  var range = sheet.getRange(columnToLetter(lastCol) + "1");
  if (range.getValue() !== "") {
    return lastCol;
  } else {
    return range.getNextDataCell(SpreadsheetApp.Direction.PREVIOUS).getColumn();
  }              
}

function getLastDataRow(sheet) {
  var lastRow = sheet.getLastRow();
  var range = sheet.getRange("A" + lastRow);
  if (range.getValue() !== "") {
    return lastRow;
  } else {
    return range.getNextDataCell(SpreadsheetApp.Direction.UP).getRow();
  }              
}

function run() {
  var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
  var [startRow, lastRow] = [2, getLastDataRow(sheet)];
  var [startCol, lastCol] = [1, getLastDataColumn(sheet)];
}
