There are literally hundreds of posts on this forum that have to do with last row, I've run a few of the solutions and for some reason or another I just get error after error.

Many of the macros/steps in my workbook are set to a specific point (highlighted below) because I have no idea how to run a "last row" procedure that will actually work. I've been able to learn a great deal about VBA through this macro building process and this last row variable is putting a hitch in my giddy-up.

i.e. when filtering the final data, it shows rows that don't matter because I've run the code to a specific spot (highlighted below). This doesn't make sense to do and I've been avoiding it until now...

Could an expert please help me through a couple of my coding problems and work through a few solutions?

Problem #1:

Need to fill down results to last row. Actual last row in the particular report will vary, but currently last row = 1947

Code: 
ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("HazShipper").Select
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.DisplayAlerts = False


Range("Z2").Value = "=LEFT(TRIM(CLEAN(Q2)),3)"
Range("AA2").Value = "=TRIM(CLEAN(K2))"
Range("AB2").Value = "=IFNA(VLOOKUP(Z2,AirportCodes!$A$2:$C$2000,2,0),""No Departure"")"
Range("AC2").Value = "=IF(LEFT(K2,4)=LEFT(AB2,4),True,False)"


Range("Z2:AC2").Select
Selection.AutoFill Destination:=Range("Z2:AC[COLOR=#ff0000][B]25000[/B][/COLOR]")

How to fill five years of quarters?
Type 1Q-2023 in a cell. Grab the fill handle and drag down or right. After 4Q-2023, Excel will jump to 1Q-2024. Dash can be any character.

One option is
Code: 
    [COLOR=#0000ff]Dim Usdrws As Long[/COLOR]

    ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("HazShipper").Select
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    Application.DisplayAlerts = False
    
    [COLOR=#0000ff]Usdrws = Cells.Find("*", SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious).Row[/COLOR]

    Range("Z2").Value = "=LEFT(TRIM(CLEAN(Q2)),3)"
    Range("AA2").Value = "=TRIM(CLEAN(K2))"
    Range("AB2").Value = "=IFNA(VLOOKUP(Z2,AirportCodes!$A$2:$C$2000,2,0),""No Departure"")"
    Range("AC2").Value = "=IF(LEFT(K2,4)=LEFT(AB2,4),True,False)"
    
    
    Range("Z2:AC2").Select
    Selection.AutoFill Destination:=Range("Z2:AC"[COLOR=#0000ff] & Usdrws[/COLOR])
This will find the last used row regardless of which column it's in.

There are different methods to determine the last row, depending on which last row you need to use. If you want the absolute last row for any cell that is not blank then
Code: 
lastRow = ActiveSheet.Cells.Find("*", , LookIn:=xlFormulas, LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious).Row
This will find the first cell with any formula or value in any row or column from the bottom up, which will be the last row of the data base.
But if you only need the last row for a specific column of data, including formulas, then
Code: 
lastRow = ActiveSheet.Cells(Rows.Count, 1),End(xlUp).Row
Where column A is the target column. To change columns, simply substitute the appropriate columm number (or "letter") for the 1.

to use the variable, once you have it initialized,
Code: 
Dim rng As Range
Set rng = Range("A2:A" & lastRow)
Would set the rng variable to a range of cells in column A.

Okay, these are the fixes I'm looking for. @Fluff, your solution above was perfect. @JLGWhiz I've begun to incorporate your examples but my confidence in what I am doing is just causing me to question everything; Because I know what I am doing won't work... per the code below, I know that won't work.

In many of my macros I end up looking in 2 different sheets. @Fluff solution above will always work perfectly for the one sheet. However, many of my macros will end up looking in 2 different sheets and return multiple values.

Lookup Range "U2" (from HazShipper sheet) in DGbyFLT until the last row.
Return data found in column 26 (DGbyFLT) in column AE2 (HazShipper) until the last row.

I guess what I'm asking.

How do I account for the last row in both sheets?

Code: 
Dim Usdrws As Long
[COLOR=#008000]'Dim lastrow As Long????[/COLOR]


ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("[B]HazShipper[/B]").Select
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.DisplayAlerts = False


Usdrws = Cells.Find("*", SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious).row
[COLOR=#008000]'lastrow = ActiveSheet.Cells(Rows.Count, 1),End(xlUp).Row 'But where do I input????[/COLOR]


Range("AD2").Value = "=TRIM(CLEAN(C2))"
Range("AE2").Value = "=IFNA(VLOOKUP(TRIM(U2),[B]DGbyFLT[/B]!$A$2:$Z$[COLOR=#ff0000]50000[/COLOR],26,0, [COLOR=#ff0000][B]& lastrow[/B][/COLOR]),""No ID"")" [COLOR=#008000]'<---- This obviously isn't going to work.
'actual last row in DGbyFLT is 26978[/COLOR]
Range("AF2").Value = "=IFNA(IF(AD2=AE2,TRUE,FALSE),""No Match"")"


Range("AD2:AF2").Select
Selection.AutoFill Destination:=Range("AD2:AF" & Usdrws)

Thank you both for taking the time to help.

Try
Code: 
Dim Usdrws As Long
Dim lastrow As Long


ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("HazShipper").Select
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.DisplayAlerts = False


Usdrws = Cells.Find("*", SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious).Row
lastrow = Sheets("DGbyFLT").Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row


Range("AD2").Value = "=TRIM(CLEAN(C2))"
Range("AE2").Value = "=IFNA(VLOOKUP(TRIM(U2),DGbyFLT!$A$2:$Z$" & lastrow & ",26,0,),""No ID"")"
'actual last row in DGbyFLT is 26978
Range("AF2").Value = "=IFNA(IF(AD2=AE2,TRUE,FALSE),""No Match"")"


Range("AD2:AF2").Select
Selection.AutoFill Destination:=Range("AD2:AF" & Usdrws)

You just need to specify the sheets in both the variablename (for future reference) and in the cells command

HazShipperUsdRws = Sheets("HazShipper").Cells.Find("*", SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious).row

DGbyFLTUsdRws = Sheets("DGbyFLT").Cells.Find("*", SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious).row

@Fluff,

I've used your solution above and it also worked flawlessly. I have a similar set of code that isn't working so well... quite peculiar actually.

As I mentioned before, the HazShipper sheet is only 1947 rows of data. The code below should only return data in the 1947 rows, however, it populates data in 21,947 rows.... 20K extra.. every time. I checked all the code before this one and nothing populates in any cell below 1947, and I even cleared all rows below 1947 just to make sure it wasn't attaching itself to some phantom data.... but still... the code below always adds on the extra 20K rows.

ideas? Also, didn't use "lastrow" on this one... not yet anyway.

ENTIRE CODE:
Code: 
Sub Step4()
[COLOR=#008000]'sub looks compares destination to customer ID, TRUE if match, false if no match[/COLOR]


Dim Usdrws As Long
[COLOR=#008000]'Dim lastrow As Long[/COLOR]


    ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("HazShipper").Select
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    Application.DisplayAlerts = False
    
Usdrws = Cells.Find("*", SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious).row
[COLOR=#008000]'lastrow = Sheets("AirportCodes").Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).row[/COLOR]


    Range("Z2").Value = "=LEFT(TRIM(CLEAN(Q2)),3)"
    Range("AA2").Value = "=TRIM(CLEAN(K2))"
    Range("AB2").Value = "=IFNA(VLOOKUP(Z2,AirportCodes!$A$2:$C$2000,2,0),""No Departure"")"
    Range("AC2").Value = "=IF(LEFT(K2,4)=LEFT(AB2,4),True,False)"
        
    Range("Z2:AC2").Select
    Selection.AutoFill Destination:=Range("Z2:AC2" & Usdrws)

[COLOR=#008000]'organize columns[/COLOR]
    Range("Z1").Select
    ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "Customer ID"
    Range("AA1").Select
    ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "HazShipper Destination"
    Range("AB1").Select
    ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "Airport Code Destination"
    Range("AC1").Select
    ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "Dest. Match?"
    Range("Z1:AC1").Select
    Selection.Font.Bold = True
    Range("Z1,AA1").Select
    With Selection.Interior
        .Color = 65535
    End With
    Columns("Z:Z").ColumnWidth = 8.86
    Columns("AA:AC").EntireColumn.AutoFit
    Columns("Z:AC").Select
    With Selection
        .HorizontalAlignment = xlCenter
    End With
    Columns("AC:AC").ColumnWidth = 6.86
    Range("AD2").Select

End Sub

Try deleting all rows below row 1947 rather than clearing them, then save & close the workbook.
Reopen it & try again.
Does this make any difference?

Click to expand...

This solution seems a lot simpler than I... How do I say this.... My brain is dumb and the coding makes sense... However, I am a hands on learner... so I I'll need to incorporate this into my code in a number of ways before my brain grasps what you're actually telling me.

Thanks @Jonmo1 It's appreciated.

Nothing... Did as you have stated. Also, ran the macro by itself rather than running it as I have it laid out.... (steps... this is step 4)

There are no values in any cell below row 1947. I don't get it...
