The error happens at this line:

lastrow = Cells(Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Row

I suspect that it is happening because my data has 97000 something rows which is over the 65000 whatever rows that the old excel used to have.

Is there a different line of code that I should be using to find the last row in a column?
 

Excel Facts

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
That line of code is fine.

The variable lastrow is declared as type Integer. It should be declared as type Long to accommodate the larger row value.

Dim lastrow As Long


The max value of an Integer is 32,767

The max value of a Long is 2,147,483,647

Is that all! That was easy. I can't test it right now or I'll have to restart the program, but I'm sure you're right. Thank you!!

Thanks for this - I had the same problem with the same piece of code!
