Dynamic range help

[Gromace]

Hello,

I have the following code in a macro, in Excel 2007.

Range("M5").Select
Selection.Copy
Range("M5:M18264").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste


I currently have over 18,000 cells in the range, but the exact number will change monthly. What is the most effective way to select my range, without knowing the exact number of cells? Is there a function that can do this? If column A contains data, I want to include that row number in the range.

Thanks in advance for your help!

First, you dont have to select a range to do Copy or Paste,

Range("M5:M" & Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row).FillDown

Sankar,

Thank you for your quick response! Your suggestion worked in place of the code I posted, but I have one other request. Could you explain what is going on with your code? That would help me learn it and understand what is going on. I also have similar code that I need to modify. Once I have completed the filldown, I would like to select the entire row and copy, pastespecial value. Can I use the same type of code you suggested?

Thanks again!
