VBA LastRow to Specific Text

[decadence]

Hi, Is it possible to set a range in a column so it's set from last row to specific text found (header) but doesn't include the header.

Example 1 - Sets the range so only the 2 rows found (Nothing,Something)

Specific Text

Nothing

Something

<tbody>
</tbody>

Example 2 - Sets the range so only the 6 rows found (Something,Something,Something,Something,Nothing,Nothing)

Specific Text

Something

Something

Something

Something

Nothing

Nothing

<tbody>
</tbody>

Assuming your data starts from column A...

Sub x()
Dim LastRow As Long
Dim rng1 As Range
With Sheets("Sheet1")
    LastRow = .Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
    
    rng1 = Range(.Cells(2, 1), .Cells(LastRow, 1))
End With
    
End Sub

Hi njimack, My data could vary in which column the data is. Also the Rows are not static

 

[njimack]

Is it a single column of data? Can you post a small sample of your data?

 

[decadence]

Yes it will be a single column of data to set a range for but the data could start anywhere i.e. D4 or T100, unfortunately I can't give you a sample due to confidentiality of information.

See if this works for you...

Sub x()
Dim LastRow As Long, Column As Long, FirstRow As Long
Dim rng1 As Range
With Sheets("Sheet1")
    LastRow = .Cells.Find(What:="*", After:=Rng.Cells(1), Lookat:=xlPart, LookIn:=xlFormulas, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious, MatchCase:=False).Row
    Column = Rng.Find(What:="*", After:=Rng.Cells(1), Lookat:=xlPart, LookIn:=xlFormulas, SearchOrder:=xlByColumns, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious, MatchCase:=False).Column
    FirstRow = .Cells(LastRow, LastColumn).End(xlUp).Row [COLOR=#FF0000]+1[/COLOR]
    
    rng1 = Range(.Cells(FirstRow, Column), .Cells(LastRow, Column))
End With
    
End Sub

Oops - ignore the last past, quite a few errors in the code. This should work...

Sub x()
Dim LastRow As Long, Column As Long, FirstRow As Long
Dim rng1 As Range
With Sheets("Sheet1")
    LastRow = .Cells.Find(What:="*", After:=.Cells(1), Lookat:=xlPart, LookIn:=xlFormulas, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious, MatchCase:=False).Row
    Column = .Cells.Find(What:="*", After:=.Cells(1), Lookat:=xlPart, LookIn:=xlFormulas, SearchOrder:=xlByColumns, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious, MatchCase:=False).Column
    FirstRow = .Cells(LastRow, Column).End(xlUp).Row +1
    
    Set rng1 = Range(.Cells(FirstRow, Column), .Cells(LastRow, Column))
    MsgBox rng1.Address
End With
    
End Sub

Another option might be

Sub GetRng()

    Dim Ans As String
    Dim Fnd As Range
    Dim Rng As Range
    
    Ans = InputBox("Please enter header name")
    If Len(Ans) = 0 Then Exit Sub
    Set Fnd = Cells.Find(Ans, Range("A1"), xlValues, xlWhole, xlByRows, xlNext, False, False)
    If Not Fnd Is Nothing Then
        Set Rng = Range(Fnd.Offset(1), Cells(Rows.Count, Fnd.Column).End(xlUp))
    End If
    Rng.Select
    
End Sub

Hi Fluff, This is what I am looking for but I don't want the users to be able to enter anything. Also the specific word and the data below it are in different cell locations so i can't use [A1] as the range.

 

[Fluff]

A1 is simply the start point for the find.
What is the specific word that you want to find?
