The easiest (but a little inelegant) would be to use a named range for the column or a named range in the cell one beyond the end. Then every time you insert a new row into your active data area, you would automatically expand the range or bump t6he marker cell down a row.
Another solution (I haven't tested this myself yet, but it looks right) from the Minor Point blog offers a formula solution good for both calc and excel. You can read about it here: http://minorpoint.blogspot.com/2010/09/how-to-find-last-used-row-in.html Hope that does the trick for you!| | -- *Bill Thoen* GISnet - www.gisnet.com 303-786-9961 _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
