Excel problem--object showing gettype insead of more options

[Guest]

..Cells(1,y).GetType ownly shows instead of .Value, .Copy, etc.
The code below is derived from samples, it should work, but I've messed up
somewhere...

Imports System.Windows.Forms
Imports Office = Microsoft.Office.Core
Imports Excel = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel
Imports MSForms = Microsoft.Vbe.Interop.Forms

' Office integration attribute. Identifies the startup class for the
workbook. Do not modify.

Version=1.0, Class=FuelConsumption.OfficeCodeBehind")>

Friend WithEvents ThisApplication As Excel.Application

#Region "Generated initialization code"

' Default constructor.

End Sub

' Required procedure. Do not modify.
Public Sub _Startup(ByVal application As Object, ByVal workbook As Object)
ThisApplication = CType(application, Excel.Application)
ThisWorkbook = CType(workbook, Excel.Workbook)


End Sub

' Required procedure. Do not modify.
Public Sub _Shutdown()
ThisApplication = Nothing
ThisWorkbook = Nothing
End Sub

' Returns the control with the specified name on ThisWorkbook's active
worksheet.

Overloads Function FindControl(ByVal name As String, ByVal sheet As
Excel.Worksheet) As Object
Dim theObject As Excel.OLEObject
Try
theObject = CType(sheet.OLEObjects(name), Excel.OLEObject)
Return theObject.Object
Catch Ex As Exception
' Returns Nothing if the control is not found.
End Try
Return Nothing
End Function
#End Region

End Sub

ThisWorkbook = ThisApplication.Workbook.add
Dim sheetData As New Excel.Worksheet

sheetData = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Data")

Dim myRowcount, x, y As Integer

'column 1 is datetime data
Do While sheetData.Cells(1, y).value <> Convert.DBNull

If sheetData.Cells.Item(4, y) <> Convert.DBNull Then
myRowcount = myRowcount + 1

End If

got it working, found sample that worked.--clunky tho..

'count number of rows where VoyageNumber(x=4) is not empty
