How can I find last row that contains data in a specific column?

Question

How can I find the last row that contains data in a specific column and on a specific sheet?

Answer 1

Sub test()
    MsgBox Worksheets("sheet_name").Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Row
End Sub

This is looking for a value in column A because of "A65536".

Answer 2

function LastRowIndex(byval w as worksheet, byval col as variant) as long
  dim r as range

  set r = application.intersect(w.usedrange, w.columns(col))
  if not r is nothing then
    set r = r.cells(r.cells.count)

    if isempty(r.value) then
      LastRowIndex = r.end(xlup).row
    else
      LastRowIndex = r.row
    end if
  end if
end function

Usage:

? LastRowIndex(ActiveSheet, 5)
? LastRowIndex(ActiveSheet, "AI")

Answer 3

The first line moves the cursor to the last non-empty row in the column. The second line prints that columns row.

Selection.End(xlDown).Select
MsgBox(ActiveCell.Row)

Answer 4

Function LastRow(rng As Range) As Long
    Dim iRowN As Long
    Dim iRowI As Long
    Dim iColN As Integer
    Dim iColI As Integer
    iRowN = 0
    iColN = rng.Columns.count
    For iColI = 1 To iColN
        iRowI = rng.Columns(iColI).Offset(65536 - rng.Row, 0).End(xlUp).Row
        If iRowI > iRowN Then iRowN = iRowI
    Next
    LastRow = iRowN
End Function 

Answer 5

Simple and quick:

Dim lastRow as long
Range("A1").select
lastRow = Cells.Find("*",SearchOrder:=xlByRows,SearchDirection:=xlPrevious).Row

Example use:

cells(lastRow,1)="Ultima Linha, Last Row. Youpi!!!!"

'or 

Range("A" & lastRow).Value = "FIM, THE END"

Answer 6

Here's a solution for finding the last row, last column, or last cell. It addresses the A1 R1C1 Reference Style dilemma for the column it finds. Wish I could give credit, but can't find/remember where I got it from, so "Thanks!" to whoever it was that posted the original code somewhere out there.

Sub Macro1
    Sheets("Sheet1").Select
    MsgBox "The last row found is: " & Last(1, ActiveSheet.Cells)
    MsgBox "The last column (R1C1) found is: " & Last(2, ActiveSheet.Cells)
    MsgBox "The last cell found is: " & Last(3, ActiveSheet.Cells)
    MsgBox "The last column (A1) found is: " & Last(4, ActiveSheet.Cells)
End Sub

Function Last(choice As Integer, rng As Range)
' 1 = last row
' 2 = last column (R1C1)
' 3 = last cell
' 4 = last column (A1)
    Dim lrw As Long
    Dim lcol As Integer

    Select Case choice
    Case 1:
        On Error Resume Next
        Last = rng.Find(What:="*", _
                        After:=rng.Cells(1), _
                        LookAt:=xlPart, _
                        LookIn:=xlFormulas, _
                        SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _
                        SearchDirection:=xlPrevious, _
                        MatchCase:=False).Row
        On Error GoTo 0

    Case 2:
        On Error Resume Next
        Last = rng.Find(What:="*", _
                        After:=rng.Cells(1), _
                        LookAt:=xlPart, _
                        LookIn:=xlFormulas, _
                        SearchOrder:=xlByColumns, _
                        SearchDirection:=xlPrevious, _
                        MatchCase:=False).Column
        On Error GoTo 0

    Case 3:
        On Error Resume Next
        lrw = rng.Find(What:="*", _
                       After:=rng.Cells(1), _
                       LookAt:=xlPart, _
                       LookIn:=xlFormulas, _
                       SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _
                       SearchDirection:=xlPrevious, _
                       MatchCase:=False).Row
        lcol = rng.Find(What:="*", _
                        After:=rng.Cells(1), _
                        LookAt:=xlPart, _

                        MatchCase:=False).Column
        Last = Cells(lrw, lcol).Address(False, False)
        If Err.Number > 0 Then
            Last = rng.Cells(1).Address(False, False)
            Err.Clear
        End If
        On Error GoTo 0
    Case 4:
        On Error Resume Next
        Last = rng.Find(What:="*", _
