VBA Used Range – Count the Number of


Used Rows or Columns

UsedRange – Find Last Used Cell,


Column or Row
The following code will return in a message box the total number of
rows used in a worksheet. Empty rows are considered used if data
follows the empty row.

MsgBox ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count

Do you have to run a loop down a sheet but don’t know where the
data stops? ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count might help.

Put this in a module


:

Sub LastRow()

Dim LastRow As Integer

LastRow = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count

MsgBox LastRow

End Sub
Sub LastCol()

Dim LastCol As Integer

ColRow = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Col.Count

Find First Empty Cell


Using VBA you may need to write to the �rst empty cell, or after the
last row used in a column. There is no need to loop to �nd this, the
following code does it for you.

In this example the code will write “FirstEmpty” in the �rst empty
cell in column “d”

Public Sub AfterLast()

ActiveSheet.Range("d" & ActiveSheet.Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1,


End Sub

Count Used Columns In


Worksheet
The following code will return in a message box the total number of
columns used in a worksheet. Empty columns are considered used
if data follows the empty column.

MsgBox ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Columns.Count

Last Used Cell – Problems


When I need to For..Next..Loop through an entire column I usually
use ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count to �nd where to stop. I’ve
always had good luck with this approach.

I am also aware that occasionally Excel thinks the last row exists
somewhere, but the row is actually empty. I’ve seen this a few times
after importing data. From BeyondTechnology:

The Worksheet object’s UsedRange does not always


work because the used range (or “dirty area”) of a
spreadsheet may be larger than the area actually
populated with your records.

I’m bookmarking the article Identifying the Real Last Cell


(http://www.beyondtechnology.com/geeks012.shtml) as an
alternative to UsedRange for looping through Columns, Rows, and
Ranges.
