    Finding first filled column

    Hi,

    Trying to write a macro to find the range on a sheet where userdata are presented.

    My starting point here is to find the first and last used column, and row, and by that information create my customized range.

    However, I cant find the correct command to set the first used column. I'm using the following code which works in Excel 2003, but in Excel 2007 it only returns a "0".

    My code to find the last column works perfect in both 2003 and 2007 though.

    How should I do to find the first column in my sheets which contains any data?

    Hello nalfin,

    I am not sure this will fix the problem because I can't test it on Excel 2007. It does work correctly on Excel 2003. This constrains the search to only the UsedRange rather than the entire worksheet. Give it try.

    Remember To Do the Following....

    1. Use code tags. Place [CODE] before the first line of code and [/CODE] after the last line of code.
