VBA - Visual Basic for Applications

With this collection of articles I want to build a wiki for myself as well as others.

The goal is to build not only a little framework for Excel VBA, but also a collection of general tips and hints on issues I experienced working with Excel and Visual Basic for Excel.

Once completed, I am guessing it never will be, this will serve me well. Like my wife always says, I am "Mr. Forgetful" and a "Lazy Bum".

Yes dear, I love you too.

And it's true, good programmers are lazy!

Determining the last row actually containing information in an Excel worksheet can be an annoying task, if you are relying on the Excel API to do the trick for you. Especially when you are not exatcly in control over the handed files you are dealing with and people are allowed to enter information anywhere it is not as easy as it should be.

Source Code automating Excel search function

Below function is determining the last row containing data in provided worksheet using the Excel search function.
This approach works only, if no cells in given sheet are merged.
Therefore merged cells are removed from a handed workbook before determining its last row containing data.
