Answer 2

Change: usedRows = Sheets("EFT").UsedRange.Count

To: usedRows = Sheets("EFT").Range("A" & Sheets("EFT").Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row

Where "A" can be changed to whichever row you wish to count the total number of columns.

There is a danger in using UsedRange because it factors in such things and formatted cells with no data and other things that can give you unexpected results, like if you are expecting your data to start in Range("A1"), but it really starts in another range!

I will say, however, that If you really wish to use UsedRange, your code above is still wrong to get the rows. Use this instead UsedRange.Rows.Count or to get the last absolute cell of the UsedRange, use UsedRange.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeLastCell).Row

Answer 3

Thanks for the discussion...

.UsedRange.Rows.Count and .UsedRange.Columns.Count work fine provided there is something in cell A1. Otherwise need to use the SpecialCells solution.

Hope this is helpful.
