It is a bit unclear what you are trying to do. It appears you are trying 
to establish the number of rows with data in them for some sort of 
import/reiteration routine.

Maybe what you should be doing is counting how many values in your range 
using COUNTA(), DCOUNT() or DCOUNTA() rather than looking for the number 
of blanks, the last cell used and presumably the difference between 
these two values.
