What does this do?

I got some help here writing some code. I'm trying to do something very
similar to what this line does, but I don't understand this line.

lEndRow = wbkNewHdr.Sheets("Macro Records").Cells(Rows.Count, 2) _
.End(xlUp).Row

I know it defines the final row in the named worksheet. What I don't
understand is what the .Count does, or why the xlUp is not a xlDown.
Can someone explain this line for me?
Thanks!

In the code, Rows.Count returns the number of rows in the
worksheet, or 65536. Therefore, the

..Cells(Rows.Count,2)

refers to the last cell in column 2. Then, the .End(xlUp) causes
Excel to scan upwards until a non-empty cell is found. The .Row
property returns the row number of that last cell.

the rows.ccount returns the number of rows in the spreadsheet (65,536). The
..end(xlUp) travels up from this row to the first non-blank cell. Personally
(and this is a personal preference) I would write that line like this...

lEndRow = wbkNewHdr.Sheets("Macro Records").Range("B65536") _
..End(xlUp).Row

because in my opionion
Range("B65536") is far more clear to read than Cells(Rows.Count, 2)

While the need is dissipating, in xl5/95, you choice would error. That is
why most use Rows.count which would work in all situations.

Thanks Tom. I didn't know that. My programming started after that (obviously).

And you can use

Cells(Rows.Count,"B")

as you now know :-)

thanks to everyone for your prompt and helpful replies! Your
explanations beg the question, why count up from the bottom instead of
down from the data itself? Is this to handle the potential for blank
cells in that column? If so, then if there were blanks in the bottom
rows in this column, you'd get a miscount anyway. Is there some other
reason for counting up from the bottom of the sheet?

If the data contains embedded blank cells, the End(xlDown) method
will not take you to the last cell. It will take you to the cell
above the first blank cell. Going from the bottom up will always
take you to the last cell with data.

Out of shear curiosity how many rows does 95 have? It is around 16k isn't it?
