Hi all,

I'm not sure if anyone will be able to help me, I have a report that has a random amount of lines where I am using VBA code to format it in the way I need. This issue is that some of the formatting code stops at row 2501 and I am not able to see why - the code I have is below:


Code: 
Range("A4:I4").Select    With Selection.Interior
        .Pattern = xlSolid
        .Color = 10498160
        .TintAndShade = 0
        .PatternTintAndShade = 0
    End With
    Selection.Borders(xlDiagonalDown).LineStyle = xlNone
    Selection.Borders(xlDiagonalUp).LineStyle = xlNone
    With Selection.Borders(xlEdgeLeft)
        .LineStyle = xlContinuous
        .ColorIndex = 0
        .TintAndShade = 0
        .Weight = xlMedium
    End With
    With Selection.Borders(xlEdgeTop)
        .LineStyle = xlContinuous
        .ColorIndex = 0
        .TintAndShade = 0
        .Weight = xlMedium
    End With
    With Selection.Borders(xlEdgeBottom)
        .LineStyle = xlContinuous
        .ColorIndex = 0
        .TintAndShade = 0
        .Weight = xlMedium
    End With
    With Selection.Borders(xlEdgeRight)
        .LineStyle = xlContinuous
        .ColorIndex = 0
        .TintAndShade = 0
        .Weight = xlMedium
    End With
    With Selection.Borders(xlInsideVertical)
        .LineStyle = xlContinuous
        .ThemeColor = 1
        .TintAndShade = 0
        .Weight = xlThin
    End With
    Selection.Borders(xlInsideHorizontal).LineStyle = xlNone
    Range("I4").Select
    ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "Formulate Your Questions Below"
    Range("I5").Select

If anyone can see an issue or are able to provide any help then it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Unless you are leaving out some vital VBA code, it only looks like you are formatting row 4:

OK, that is a ton of VBA code there, and you have references to different ranges and calls to other VBA code.
So you are going to need to narrow this done for us. Please identify the first part of formatting code that is not going down far enough.

I believe it's something to do with this because when I negate it the formatting stops almost immediately.

Code: 
Application.GoTo Reference:="R65000C8"    Selection.End(xlUp).Select
    ActiveCell.Offset(2, 0).Select

I think it would be better if I could find the last populated cell in column A and then add 1 for the formatting to work, unfortunately I'm no expert on VBA so not sure how to do it

Here is how you can find the last populated cell in column A

Code: 
Dim lastRow as Long
lastRow = Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row

Thank you, this also worked

Code: 
Application.Goto Reference:=Worksheets("HFI").Range("A65000")

It is not the same things. Your code goes to specific cell reference (some very large number). Mine goes to the very last cell with data in it.
The danger of going farther than you need to is it could chew up extra memory and slow your workbook down, as opposed to just formatting exactly what needs to be formatted.

Also, interesting side note. People often used numbers like 65000 or 65536, because in very old versions of Excel, 65536 was the maximum number of rows you could have. However, you can now have over 1 million rows.

I tried putting the code that you stated in place of what I tried and it stop / didn't work so I think I must be missing something.
