xldown in a non-contiguous column

[Guest]

I have a non-contiguous column that I need to read. xldown will only take me
to the first blan row. Is there an alternative to xldown to get to the real
bottom of the column?

xlup

Set rng = cells(rows.count,1).End(xlup)

 

[Guest]

You bet. xlUp... try this...

dim rng as range
set rng = Sheets("Sheet1").Cells(rows.count, "A").end(xlUp)
msgbox rng.address

whoops, I worded that wrong. I want to get to the end of the data. Not the
end of h of the column!

 

[Guest]

Why not try it.

Ok... I'm lost. The code posted by Tom and I looks up from the bottom of the
sheet and finds the first non-blank cell in a column. I would have assumed
that would be the end of the data... What exactly are you looking for???

This is what I did:

Sub check_names()

Dim ws_name As String

ws_name = "ACTIVE"

Worksheets(ws_name).Activate

Set poc_range = ActiveSheet.Cells(Rows.Count, 2).End(xlUp)

ind = 1

For Each poc In poc_range

ind = ind + 1

Next poc

MsgBox "There were " & ind & " entries."

End Sub

After it ran, ind equalled 2 and not 52. What did I do wrong?

OK,
I see what I did wrong. I wanted a range that started at the top and went to
the last row of data. I should have specified that.

I fixed my code to:

Set poc_range = ActiveSheet.Range("b3", Cells(Rows.Count, 2).End(xlUp))

That did the trick.
