Is there a shortcut to select a column that contains data, but has blank cells in between? I need the selection to end where the last cell with data is. I know of ctrl+shift+arrow down, but that stops where a blank cell is. I've seen others use shortcuts to contain many columns and then use the ctrl+arrow left (or right) to select only the column.
Is there just one shortcut to select the column containing blank and data cells to the end of the last cell that has data in it?

Thank you and God bless,
Craig

How to create a cell-sized chart?
Tiny charts, called Sparklines, were added to Excel 2010. Look for Sparklines on the Insert tab.
I don't think there's anything built in, but you can use this macro and assign a shortcut key to it

VBA Code:
Sub SelectColumnData()
Dim sc As Long
sc = Selection.Column
Range(Cells(1, sc), Cells(Rows.Count, sc).End(xlUp)).Select
End Sub
