How can I copy the returned range address that’s displayed in a MessageBox to a cell on the same sheet.
Having established what the used range is with the code below, I want to put that returned range address into a cell.
eg-: so W10 will = the rng.Address
Have tried numerous bits found on line, to no avail.
Have tried; copy to ClipBoard using Ctrl-C, then use Ctrl-V to paste in cell, but its pasting ALL the Msg box properties but I ONLY want the Range Address.
VBA Code:
Sub MeUsedRangetest()
Dim lastRow As Long, firstrow As Long
Dim rng As Range
Dim sht As Worksheet
Dim sMsg As String

Set sht = ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet
      firstrow = sht.Range("s:s").Find(what:="CF rules", LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:=xlWhole).Row
      lastRow = sht.Range("T:T").Find(what:="Cash Paid", LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:=xlWhole).Row
Set rng = sht.Range("T" & firstrow & ":T" & lastRow)

MsgBox "Range is " & rng.Address

End Sub
 
Sorry for any minor inconsistencies you might come across, but I DON’T believe they impact on the ultimate question?
So:-
firstrow = .Range("s:s").Find(what:="CF rules"….. = S7
lastRow = .Range("T:T").Find(what:="Cash Paid"….. = T24
ACTUAL used range IN ColS is = S10:S20
It’s the ACTUAL used range S10:S20 that I am looking to return the address of (to a cell on the sheet)

I have to use “Cash Paid” row as lastrow reference; because BETWEEN Row 10 and Row “Cash Paid” it is a dynamic range( rows are constantly being added)
There are rows BELOW “Cash paid” in Col T and they have values, but they are NOT relevant so to be ignored. So hence the need to first find “Cash Paid” row and then count UP ColS to find the ACTUAL last used cell/row (so we are ignoring ever thing below “Cash Paid” row in Col T)
I sincerely hope I’ve not rushed my reply and in the proses given you duff/incorrect info ?
Afraid had to resort to screen shot as Xl2bb was having a huge hissy fit

Excel Facts

When did Power Query debut in Excel?
Although it was an add-in in Excel 2010 & Excel 2013, Power Query became a part of Excel in 2016, in Data, Get & Transform Data.
sXl2bb has gotten over the hissy fit!

Code below is what I ran on the Xl2bb, it contains your new suggestion, but I’ve left lines in from your first version so I could compare the Debug.Print results
Excel Formula:
Sub MeUsedRangetest()
Dim lastrow As Long, firstrow As Long
With ActiveSheet
firstrow = .Range("s:s").Find(what:="CF rules", LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:=xlWhole).Row
lastrow = .Range("T:T").Find(what:="Cash Paid", LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:=xlWhole).Row
.Range("s30") = .Range("S" & firstrow).CurrentRegion.Address
.Range("s32") = .Range("s" & firstrow + 3 & ":s" & lastrow - 1).Address
End With

Debug.Print firstrow
Debug.Print lastrow
Debug.Print Range("s" & firstrow + 3 & ":s" & lastrow - 1).Address
End Sub
