An observation: if I record a macro and then use CTRL/End to go to the
"bottom right-hand corner" of the spread, I see that Excel records:
ActiveCell.SpecialCells(xlLastCell).Select
It's then just a matter of finding out the row and column number of the
currently-selected cell (or of xlLastCell if you don't want to change
locations).
