Excel find last row with value in a specific column

1. How to find last row with value using vba in a specific column?

2. How to find last row with value  using vba in a worksheet?

The questions above are entirely two different scenarios.

The first question will find the last row with value in a specific column within the worksheet.

While the second question find the last row with value of the entire worksheet.

The first question is applicable if you need to find the last row in different columns.

Let's say Column 1 or Column A, or Column 2 or Column B etc.

Example code below will find the last row in a specific column via VBA code.

===================
'command Cells(Rows.Count, 1) = find the last row with value in Column 1 for Sheet3

Dim last_row As Integer


last_row = Worksheets("sheet3").Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row


Msgbox last_row


'replace 1 with the desired column 

'ex: command Cells(Rows.Count, 7) = find the last row with value in Column 7
===================

If you don't need to specify a worksheet or a specific sheet then just use ActiveSheet

===================
Dim last_row As Integer

last_row =Activesheet.Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row


Msgbox last_row


'replace 1 with the desired column number

===================



To find the last row that has been used in the whole worksheet, the VBA code below can do the task.

===================
Dim last_row As Integer

last_row = UsedRange.Rows.Count


Msgbox last_row

===================

VBA code above will count the last row even cells with white spaces or basically as the command implied it will count cells that has been used. So, cells with empty values or cells with a single or multiple spaces will be counted.

Print error 016-799 - Fuji Film Xerox

016-799 Fuji Xerox or Fuji Film print error code. That shows a description error as “Print instruction Fail detected in decomposer.” The error code and error description are alien languages for users and even system administrators who are not familiar with Fuji Xerox error code. The error code is quite simple and easy to fix, if the job print goes to the printer but print out doesn’t come out. So, basically the print job was received by the printer, but the printer just doesn’t know what type of paper or what size to use or which tray to utilize for the print out. In some instances, this is just a paper mismatch but the error description; if using Windows 10 to print does not exactly points to what is the issue. First thing to check, is the paper size selected by the user to print. Example, if the printer configuration is A3 and A4 sizes only.
