Is there an easier way to get the A & 1 from an address of an active cell, without parsing it? Or is there a way to check if the active cell in a column is the next cell below the last cell with data in it?

Thanks
 

Excel Facts

What do {} around a formula in the formula bar mean?
{Formula} means the formula was entered using Ctrl+Shift+Enter signifying an old-style array formula.

You can easily get the row and column number (not the letter) by saying something like:-

ActiveCell.Row
ActiveCell.Column

to check whether the activecell is in the position you state try this:-

Code:
Sub IsActiveCellLastCell()
If Cells(65536, ActiveCell.Column).End(xlUp).Row = ActiveCell.Row - 1 Then
    MsgBox "Active cell is in next available cell in column"
Else
    MsgBox "Active cell is not in next available cell in column"
End If
End Sub

Hi John

You could get the Column letter like:

Dim strCol As String
strCol = ActiveCell.EntireColumn.Address(ColumnAbsolute:=False)
strCol = Left(strCol, InStr(1, strCol, ":", vbTextCompare) - 1)
MsgBox strCol
