Select » Extend selection to the last used row

This utility will extend your selected range to the last used row on your worksheet.
This way you can easily extend your selection without having to scroll down.

This is very useful when you cannot use Excel's built in shortcuts such as 'Ctrl+Shift+Arrow key down' because of empty cells in between or 'Ctrl+Shift+End' because you only want to extend your selection down and not include the columns to the right.
You can for example use this to quickly copy a formula down to the last used row without having the difficulty of scrolling and finding the end of your data manually.

By default you can start this utility with the shortcut Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Down Arrow.
