Finding last row

Hi all,

I recently made a post about having multiple workbooks, all located in the same folder, and wanting to merge them into a singular workbook while maintaing the template that all of the workbooks shared.

I got a superb piece of code from JBeaucaire that solved all of my problems. However, I am now having a small issue with the code.

The code is designed to look UP the "C" column to spot the last row of data for the LR variable. However, column C is not always filled. there is no Column in the worksheet that is consistently filled out throughout. But, there is always data in either Column C or Column D. How can I edit the code to check both column C and D to spot the last row of data for the LR variable.

                With wsData
                    LR = .Range("C" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
                    If LR > 5 Then .Range("C6:C" & LR).EntireRow.Copy wsMain.Range("A" & NR)

I'm still very new at this so thank you for your patience!

Hi After the line

LR = .Range("C" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row

put

If  .Range("D" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row > LR Then 
    LR = .Range("D" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
End If

This will make LR to the greater of the Last row in C or D.

Hi - my bad.
The problem is after finding the larger of LR of C or D a few lines below it does this

 If LR > 5 Then .Range("C6:C" & LR).EntireRow.Copy wsMain.Range("A" & NR)

Try to remove the ".EntireRow" from the above line of code. See if that does it.

MarvinP,

When I remove .EntireRow the code hits a run-time error.

run-time error '1004'
Cannot change part of a merged cell.

This error never appeared before when running any variations of the code.

just for reference this is the template of the workbooks im using.

Merged Cells
Can you unmerge cells that might get copied and see what happens?

I hate Merged Cells!

Try changing this line

LR = .Range("C" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row

to

LR = WorksheetFunction.Max(.Range("C" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row, .Range("D" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row)

Hope this helps

Either way should work. All they do is pick the maximum LR between columns C & D

Is the problem perhaps somewhere else?
Might it be here

NR = wsMain.Range("C" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row + 1

Try

NR = WorksheetFunction.Max(wsMain.Range("C" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row + 1,wsMain.Range("D" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row + 1)

Just a guess
