excel vba select last row and last column - vba

Question

I am trying to select from A9 to the lastrow & lastcolumn.
I have this to select the last cell, but it doesn't select from A9 to Last it just selects the lastrow/lastcolumn. Also this is not ideal because if I have blanks in the future.
I have searched and could not find anything for selecting from a cell to the lastrow & lastcolumn
Sub FindLast()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Range("A9").End(xlToRight).End(xlDown).Select
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
Search order in my file would be Column A & Row 8 if that helps at all.
Code Below is what I am using to work on active sheets
Sub SelectAll()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim lastRow As Long, lastCol As Long
Dim Rng As Range
Dim WholeRng As Range
With ActiveWorksheet
Set Rng = Cells
'last row
lastRow = Rng.Find(What:="*", After:=Rng.Cells(1), Lookat:=xlPart, LookIn:=xlFormulas, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious, MatchCase:=False).Row
'last column
lastCol = Rng.Find(What:="*", After:=Rng.Cells(1), Lookat:=xlPart, LookIn:=xlFormulas, SearchOrder:=xlByColumns, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious, MatchCase:=False).Column
Set WholeRng = Range(Cells(9, "A"), Cells(lastRow, lastCol))
WholeRng.Select
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Answer 1

Or you could exploit UsedRange
Sub FindLast()
With Activesheet
.Range(.Range("A9"), .UsedRange.Cells(.UsedRange.Rows.Count, .UsedRange.Columns.Count)).Select
End With
End Sub

The safest way is use the Find function:
Option Explicit
Sub LastRow_Col_Find()
' Safest way to ensure you got the last row:
Dim lastRow As Long, lastCol As Long
Dim Rng As Range
Dim WholeRng As Range
With Worksheets("report")
Set Rng = .Cells
' Safest way to ensure you got the last row
lastRow = Rng.Find(What:="*", After:=Rng.Cells(1), Lookat:=xlPart, LookIn:=xlFormulas, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious, MatchCase:=False).Row
'MsgBox lastRow ' <-- for DEBUG
' Safest way to ensure you got the last column
lastCol = Rng.Find(What:="*", After:=Rng.Cells(1), Lookat:=xlPart, LookIn:=xlFormulas, SearchOrder:=xlByColumns, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious, MatchCase:=False).Column
'MsgBox lastColumn ' <-- for DEBUG
' set the Range for the entire UsedRange in "YourSheetName" sheet
Set WholeRng = .Range(.Cells(9, "A"), .Cells(lastRow, lastCol))
WholeRng.Select '<-- ONLY IF YOU MUST
End With
End Sub
