    I expect it to return the column number of the rightmost cell with text in the range, but instead it returns the column number of the first cell in the range. What am I doing wrong?

    Re: Using Find to search from back to front in a range

    Would this not give the same result? I know you mentioned "Find" so if that is a must, forget about this.
    The only thing I do not know if it works on a Mac.
    Sub Why_Not_This()
    MsgBox Cells(Selection.Row, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column
    End Sub
