This is a common issue in Excel.

Here is some C# code:

// Find the last real row
nInLastRow = oSheet.Cells.Find("*",System.Reflection.Missing.Value, 
System.Reflection.Missing.Value, System.Reflection.Missing.Value,    Excel.XlSearchOrder.xlByRows,Excel.XlSearchDirection.xlPrevious, false,System.Reflection.Missing.Value,System.Reflection.Missing.Value).Row;

// Find the last real column
nInLastCol = oSheet.Cells.Find("*", System.Reflection.Missing.Value,     System.Reflection.Missing.Value,System.Reflection.Missing.Value, Excel.XlSearchOrder.xlByColumns,Excel.XlSearchDirection.xlPrevious,    false,System.Reflection.Missing.Value,System.Reflection.Missing.Value).Column;

or using SpecialCells

Excel.Range last = sheet.Cells.SpecialCells(Excel.XlCellType.xlCellTypeLastCell, Type.Missing);
Excel.Range range = sheet.get_Range("A1", last);
