Hello,

I am parsing/reading excel file and would like to read the cell contents so i use LastRow and LastCol as described in the tutorial (link below). It worked great for most part but for certain worksheets it does not give right values. It gives 1 & 1 for row and col respectively. I have 8 worksheets in one file and 7 worksheets got right LastRow and Col but only one had a problem. Any idea ? It had freeze pane and macros (all did).

 my $sheet = $oBook->Worksheets($iSheet);  
 my $name=$oBook->Worksheets($iSheet)->{Name};

 my $LastRow = $sheet->UsedRange->Find({What=>"*",SearchDirection=>xlP
+revious,SearchOrder=>xlByRows})->{Row};

 my $LastCol = $sheet->UsedRange->Find({What=>"*",SearchDirection=>xlP
+revious,SearchOrder=>xlByColumns})->{Column};

Is there any way to get the boundary. Usually my data range is 89-90 columns and 2K-3K rows.

Thank you
