There are several "neat" ways to do this.
But quite a bit depends on your specific situation.
for instance,
If the sheet contains ONLY the information you are interested in,
(as in: Rows 1-500 contain data and the rest of the worksheet is blank)
and column "C" ALWAYS has a value,
You can use:
nRows = Application.Worksheetfunction.counta(activesheet.Range("C1:C65000"))
then to select them, use:
Range(cells(1,"C"),Cells(nrows,"C")).Select
Some people like to use something like:
LastRow = Range("C65000").End(xlUp).Row
and others like:
ActiveCell.SpecialCells(xlLastCell).Select
the bad thing about this one (xlLastCell) is that the "Last Cell" is determined
by
the maximum cells used during a session.
If you read in 6000 rows of data and delete 5000 rows,
xlLastCell will still show row 6000 until you save and exit the file.
when you open the file, xlLastCell will then be 1000...
There are more ways (many more than I care to enumerate!)
Basically, you need to select your poison.
You need to determine the last cell based on YOUR requirements,
then you can select them.
good luck,
Paul

Subject: $$Excel-Macros$$ cell selection
In a macro, I would like to be able to select a group of contiguous
cells containing information, where I know the location of the first
cell but not the location of the last cell in the group. I also know
that the only cells in the column containing information are in the
group of cells to be selected. Is there a neat way to do this?
Tommy
