In the worksheet I have, I need to calculate on one column, but to calculate I need to use a value that is another cell on the same sheet, but this cell is not always on the same spot. It is always on a certain column, but the location varies with the data. I need to reference it, how do I find that cell and how do I code my formula. I found this on the web and this function retrieves the last cell. Help is appreciated. I would prefer to do this inside Excel rather than via VBA.
Function LastCell(ws As Worksheet) As Range
Dim LastRow&, LastCol%
' Error-handling is here in case there is not any
' data in the worksheet
On Error Resume Next
With ws
' Find the last real row
LastRow& = .Cells.Find(What:="*", _
SearchDirection:=xlPrevious, _
SearchOrder:=xlByRows).Row
' Find the last real column
LastCol% = .Cells.Find(What:="*", _
SearchDirection:=xlPrevious, _
SearchOrder:=xlByColumns).Column
End With
' Finally, initialize a Range object variable for
' the last populated row.
Set LastCell = ws.Cells(LastRow&, LastCol%)
End Function
