Hi



I need to obtain the used range in an Excel sheet. So I used the following subs, which they work fine. 
sub Get_Last_Row
{
   my ($Sheet) = @_;
   $Sheet->UsedRange->Find({What=>"*",
                                            SearchDirection=>xlPreviou
+s,
                                            SearchOrder=>xlByRows})->{
+Row}
}
sub Get_Last_Col
{
   my ($Sheet) = @_;
   $Sheet->UsedRange->Find({What=>"*",
                                            SearchDirection=>xlPreviou
+s,
                                            SearchOrder=>xlByColumns})
+->{Column}
}

In order for me to obtain the used range, I need to obtain the last used column and row in that xls sheet. However, The last Column's value is returned as an Interger! But this code
#my $LastRange = $LastCol.$LastRow;
$LastRange = 'IV'.$LastRow;
$ArrayData = $DataSheet-> Range("A1:$LastRange")->{Value};

[download]
requires the last column value to be in the format of Letter.Number!

So $LastCol will not work because its a number and I had to hard code 'IV' which I find it a bit silly.

my Question is :

1- how whould you guys solve this problem with minimal code?

2- What is the point in the Get_Last_col if it cannot be used directly?

Thanks
