Question

I am trying to write VBA code which works on my Excel sheet.

Range(“A65536”).End(xlUp).Row gives me the row number of the last non blank cell. similarly i am trying to get the row number of the first non blank cell in that particular column.
Thanks in advance.

You can use the same function, just check to see if the first row is blank.

Dim firstRow as Integer

If ActiveSheet.Range("A1").value = "" Then
    firstRow = ActiveSheet.Range("A1").End(xlDown).Row
Else
    firstRow = 1
End If

If the first row is not blank and you use the End(xlDown) call you won’t get the first non-empty cell you will get the last non-empty cell before the first blank cell.
