Macro to select cells with text

Hello out there. Can anyone tell me what code might work for the following scenario. If we have a worksheet "A", and let's say there is data in colums A1 to C25 that we want to copy and paste to worksheet "B".

Is there a way to do this where the code will only copy the cells as far down as the text goes? In other words at one time the Worksheet "A" may have information in cells A1 to C25, but on another day, or in another worksheet, the data may stop at row 6. So I can't really say "Copy the data from A1 to C6", because at some point it may be "A1 to C25", or any other row. Is there something that will work for this? I want it to copy the info to Worksheet B, then return to Worksheet A.

Thanks for any help you can offer!
 

Excel Facts

Add Bullets to Range
Select range. Press Ctrl+1. On Number tab, choose Custom. Type Alt+7 then space then @ sign (using 7 on numeric keypad)
This code should work it find the last row
You would then need to do the following

location = "a1:c"& lastrow
range(location).select

etc

Hope this helps - code follows:

Sub FindLastRow()
If WorksheetFunction.CountA(Cells) > 0 Then
'Search for any entry, by searching backwards by Rows.
lastrow = Cells.Find(What:="*", After:=[A1], _
SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _
SearchDirection:=xlPrevious).Row
End If
EndofList = lastrow
Range("A1").Select
ActiveCell.Offset(EndofList, 1).Range("A1").Select

End Sub

Something like:

Range("A1", Range("C65536").Address).Copy _
Destination:=Sheets("B").Range("A1")

will copy your range and paste it on cell A1 in a worksheet named "B".
