Summary:

The following command macro selects the range from the currently active cell to the last cell in the current column containing data [irrespective of intervening blank cells, as with SELECT.END(4)], when the last cell in a column containing data is unknown:

A1 Select_Here_to_End A2 =ECHO(FALSE) A3 =SET.NAME(“top”,ACTIVE.CELL) A4 =SELECT(“r16384c”) A5 =SELECT.END(3) A6 =SELECT(top:ACTIVE.CELL) A7 =RETURN

For example, if the last cell in column D that contains data is D125, and the active cell is D28, then executing this macro causes D28:D125 to be selected.

More Information:

If you prefer to select to the end of a row instead of the end of a column (C12:AH12, for example), substitute the following macro:

A4 =SELECT(“RC256”) A5 =SELECT.END(1)
