Finding the Last Cell is All About the Data

Finding the last used row, column, or cell is one very common task when writing
macros and VBA applications. Like anything in Excel and VBA, there are many di erent
ways to accomplish this.
Choosing the right method mostly depends on what your data looks like.
In this article I explain three di erent VBA methods of the Range object that we can use
to nd the last cell in a worksheet. Each of these methods has pros and cons, and
some look scarier than others. 🙂
But understanding how each method works will help you know when to use them, and
why.
#1 – The Range.End() Method

The Range.End method is very similar to pressing the Ctrl+Arrow Key keyboard
shortcut. In VBA we can use this method to nd the last non-blank cell in a single row
or column.
Range.End VBA Code Example
Sub Range_End_Method()
'Finds the last non-blank cell in a single row or column
Dim lRow As Long

Dim lCol As Long
'Find the last non-blank cell in column A(1)

lRow = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
'Find the last non-blank cell in row 1

lCol = Cells(1, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column
MsgBox "Last Row: " & lRow & vbNewLine & _

"Last Column: " & lCol
End Sub
Download the le that contains the code: x
 j f
To nd the last used row in a column, this technique starts at the last cell in the column
and goes up (xlUp) until it nds the rst non-blank cell.
The Rows.Count statement returns a count of all the rows in the worksheet.
Therefore, we are basically specifying the last cell in column A of the sheet (cell
A1048567), and going up until we nd the rst non-blank cell.
It works the same with nding the last column. It starts at the last column in a row,
then goes to the left until the last non-blank cell is found in the column.
Columns.Count returns the total number of columns in the sheet. So we start at the
last column and go left.
The argument for the End method speci es which direction to go. The options are:
xlDown, xlUp, xlToLeft, xlToRight.
Pros of Range.End
Range.End is simple to use and understand since it works the same way as the
Ctrl+Arrow Key shortcuts.
Can be used to nd the rst blank cell, or the last non-blank cell in a single row or
column.
Cons of Range.End
Range.End only works on a single row or column. If you have a range of data that
contains blanks in the last row or column, then it may be di cult to determine which
row or column to perform the method on.
If you want to nd the last used cell then you have to evaluate at least two
statements. One to nd the last row and one to nd the last column. You can then
combine these to reference the last cell.
Here are the help articles for Range.End
MSDN help page for Range.End

MSDN help for xlDirection Enumerations
#2 – The Range.Find() Method
The Range.Find method is my preferred way to nd the last row, column, or cell. It is
the most versatile, but also the scariest looking. 🙂
Range.Find has a lot of arguments, but don't let this scare you. Once you know what
they do you can use Range.Find for a lot of things in VBA.
Range.Find is basically the way to program the Find menu in Excel. It does the same
thing, and most of the arguments of Range.Find are the options on the Find menu.
x
 j f
Range.Find Code Example

The following is the code to nd the last non-blank row.
Sub Range_Find_Method()
'Finds the last non-blank cell on a sheet/range.
Dim lRow As Long

Dim lCol As Long
lRow = Cells.Find(What:="*", _
After:=Range("A1"), _
LookAt:=xlPart, _
LookIn:=xlFormulas, _
SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _
SearchDirection:=xlPrevious, _
MatchCase:=False).Row
MsgBox "Last Row: " & lRow
End Sub

The Range.Find Method Explained

The Find method is looking for the rst non-blank cell (“*”). The asterisk represents a
wildcard character that looks for any text or numbers in the cell.
Starting in cell A1, it moves backwards (xlPrevious) and actually starts it's search in the
very last cell in the worksheet. It then moves right-to-left (xlByRows) and loops up
through each row until it nds a non-blank cell. When a non-blank is found it stops and
returns the row number.
x
 j f
Here is a detailed explanation for each argument.
What:=”*” – The asterisk is a wildcard character that nds any text or number in the
cell. It's basically the same as searching for a non-blank cell.
After:=Range(“A1”) – Start the search after cell A1, the rst cell in the sheet. This
means that A1 will NOT be searched. It will start the search after A1 and the next cell
it searches depends on the SearchOrder and SearchDirection. This argument can be
changed to start in a di erent cell, just remember that the search actually starts in
the cell after the one speci ed.
LookAt:=xlPart – This is going to look at any part of the text inside the cell. The
other option is xlWhole, which would try to match the entire cell contents.
LookIn:=xlFormulas – This tells Find to look in the formulas, and it is an important
argument. The other option is xlValues, which would only search the values. If you
have formulas that are returning blanks (=IF(A2>5,”Ok”,””) then you might want to
consider this a non-blank cell. Specifying the LookIn as xlFormulas will consider this
formula as non-blank, even if the value returned is blank.
SearchOrder:=xlByRows – This tells Find to search through each entire row before
moving on to the next. The direction is searches left-to-right or right-to-left depends
on the SearchDirection argument. The other option here is xlByColumns, which is
used when nding the last column.
SearchDirection:=xlPrevious – This speci es which direction to search. xlPrevious
means it will search from right-to-left or bottom-to-top. The other option is xlNext,
which moves in the opposite direction.
MatchCase:=False – This tells Find not to consider upper or lower case letters.
Setting it to True would consider the case. This argument isn't necessary for this
scenario.
Ok, I know that's a lot to read, but hopefully you will have a better understanding of
how to use these arguments to nd anything in a worksheet.
Pros of Range.Find
Range.Find searches an entire range for the last non-blank row or column. It is NOT
limited to a single row or column.
The last row in a data set can contain blanks and Range.Find will still nd the last
row.
The arguments can be used to search in di erent directions and for speci c values,
not just blank cells.
Cons of Range.Find
It's ugly. The method contains 9 arguments. Although only one of these arguments
(What) is required, you should get in a habit of using at least the rst 7 arguments.
Otherwise, the Range.Find method will default to your last used settings in the Find
window. This is important. If you don't specify the optional arguments for LookAt,
LookIn, and SearchOrder then the Find method will use whatever options you used
last in Excel's Find Window.
Finding the last cell requires two statements. One to nd the last row and one to
nd the last column. You then have to combine these to nd the last cell.

to type and remember. Tables
Fortunately, you don't have to. Your Spot

You can use the macro recorder to quickly create the code with all the arguments.
1. Start the macro recorder

2. Press Ctrl+F
3. Then press the Find Next button
The code for the Find method with all the arguments will be generated by the macro
recorder.
Use a Custom Function for the Find Method

You can also use a custom function (UDF) for the nd method. Ron de Bruin's Last
Function is a perfect example. You can copy that function into any VBA project or code
module, and use it to return the last row, column, or cell.
I also have a similar function in the example workbook. My function just has additional
arguments to reference the worksheet and range to search in.
Here are the help articles for Range.Find
MSDN Help Article for Range.Find Method
#3 – Range.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeLastCell)
The SpecialCells method does the same thing as pressing the Ctrl+End keyboard
shortcut, and selects the last used cell on the sheet.
SpecialCells(xlCellTypeLastCell) Code Example
Sub Range_SpecialCells_Method()
MsgBox Range("A1").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeLastCell).Address
End Sub
Download the le that contains the code:
It's actually the easiest way to nd the last used cell. However, this method is nding
the last used cell, which can be di erent than the last non-blank cell.
Often times you will hit Ctrl+End on the keyboard and be taken to some cell way down
at the end of the sheet that is de nitely not used. This can occur for a number of
reasons. One common reason is the formatting properties for that cell have been
changed. Simply changing the font size or ll color of a cell will ag it as a used cell.
Pros of Range.SpecialCells
You can use this method to nd “used” rows and columns at the end of a worksheet
and delete them. Comparing the result of Range.SpecialCells with the result of the
Range.Find for non-blanks can allow you to quickly determine if any unused rows or x

exist on the sheet. Claim Your Spot
Deleting unused rows/columns can reduce le size and make your scroll bar bigger.
Cons of Range.SpecialCells
Excel only resets the last cell when the workbook is saved. So if the user or
macro deletes the contents of some cells, then this method will not nd the true last
cell until after the le is saved.
It nds the last used cell and NOT the last non-blank cell.
Other Methods for Finding the Last Cell

Well, that should cover the basics of nding the last used or non-blank cell in a
worksheet. If you sheet contains objects (tables, charts, pivot tables, slicers, etc.) then
you might need to use other methods to nd the last cell. I will explain those
techniques in a separate post.
I also have an article on how to nd the FIRST used cell in the worksheet.
Please leave a comment below if you have any questions, or are still having trouble
nding the last cell. I'll be happy to help! 🙂

Hi Jon,
Just thought I would share this with you and other readers (see sub
below). I’ve used your Cells.Find() method with great success, but
as you mentioned, it is a lot to type out and set up. It dawned on
me to collapse it into a single line for each by using the “,”
argument method vs. the “Argument:=” method. As you mentioned
in your article, you can ignore the last two, as MatchByte is not
relevant except for obscure language characters and unless you
are nding cell or font formats, then SearchFormat can be ignored.
At rst, I thought I would need two comma placeholders at the end
of the argument list (for MatchByte and SearchFormat), but I
discovered it works without them.. probably because they are in
succession and at the end of the list. De ning the lRow and lCol in
this way makes it pretty easy to write on the y and does not
vertically stack up your code too much. Once you write it out a few
times, it is pretty each to remember and you need change only two x

items to go from row to column. As a reminder, I commented theYour Spot
Claim
reference to the nine Arguments, just as a ticker to the names and
the sequence in which they must appear if using only commas. Of
course, there is nothing wrong with the more stacked “Argument:=”
method.. just more bulk and so more cumbersome and or
intimidating to use. Putting it all in one line makes it not that much
more cumbersome than typing say: lRow = Cells(Row.Count,
1).End(xlUp).Row, but you get the bene t of the returned lRow
being for the entire worksheet vs. just one column of the
worksheet. Anyway, I thought I would share this di erent
perspective. I hope others nd it helpful. Thanks for the great tips
and the inspiration to look at things in di erent ways. Thumbs up!
Cheers!

column in a row, this number being used to display the a
numerical value showing how many columns the data
encompasses. It works ne normally, but when I lter is applied to
the rows the number of columns drops, even if all columns are

Hi James,
You can use a variable to store the value of the last row,
then use in the range reference. There are many ways to
do this, but something like the following will work.
Range("B1:B" & lRow).FillDown
This assumes the lRow variable contains the number of

the last row, which will be set in a line a code above this.
It also assumes that your formula is in cell B1 and you
want to copy it down.
I have a bonus video at the bottom of this page that

explains how to copy and paste below the last used row.

This function assumes a lot.
It assumes that the header or data starts in row 1.

It assumes that there is no gap in headers in row 1.
(What happens if C1 is Blank, but F1 -Z1 are not?)
Why not use the same method used for nding the last
row to nd the last column? (Because it would take just
as long, or longer then the Range.Find method)
If you have an understanding of the data that you are

expecting, there is no need to check all the columns, just
check the mandatory column(s) that you will be using to
sort/ lter the data.
