How do you search for the last empty cell in an excel sheet from a vsto outlook addin?
I have the following code (not compiling)
Imports Excel = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel
Dim ExcelApp As New Excel.Application
Dim ExcelWorkbook As Excel.Workbook
Dim ExcelWorkSheet As Excel.Worksheet= ExcelWorkbook.Worksheets(1)
Dim ExcelRange As Excel.Range = ExcelWorkSheet.Range("A1","A600")
Dim currentFind As Excel.Range = Nothing
Dim firstFind As Excel.Range = Nothing
currentFind = ExcelRange.Find("*", , Excel.XlFindLookIn.xlValues, Excel.XlLookAt.xlPart, Excel.XlSearchOrder.xlByRows, Excel.XlSearchDirection.xlNext, False)
While Not currentFind Is Nothing
' Keep track of the first range you find.
If firstFind Is Nothing Then
firstFind = currentFind
' If you didn't move to a new range, you are done.
ElseIf currentFind.Address = firstFind.Address Then
Exit While
End If
currentFind = ExcelRange.FindNext(currentFind)
End While
ExcelWorkbook.ActiveSheet.range(currentFind).Select()
I have updated it according to Scott Holtzman's comments but now I get an error message: HRESULT: 0x800A03EC
SOLVED: I have the following code (now compiling!)
Imports Excel = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel
Dim ExcelApp As New Excel.Application
Dim ExcelWorkbook As Excel.Workbook
Dim ExcelWorkSheet As Excel.Worksheet= ExcelWorkbook.Worksheets(1)
Dim LastRow As Integer
LastRow = ExcelWorkSheet.Columns(1).Find("*", , , , Excel.XlSearchOrder.xlByColumns, Excel.XlSearchDirection.xlPrevious).Row
ExcelWorkSheet.Range("A" & LastRow).Select()
My error was in the actual property library choice. Beware to choose: XlSearchOrder.xlByColumns, Excel.XlSearchDirection.xlPrevious
