Solution 1

You need some data in the first column so that when it looks down for the first free cell beyond A2 it will find something. Just add a few random words to cells A1, A2, A3, A4, and it should work.

Thanks Richard but I found 1 more solution to it.
Sheet1.Range("a65000").end(xlup).select

This one is working fine but i am still interested to know why the previous code didn't work.

PS: The column already has values as u suggested.

So Excel has to go down to row 65,000 and count up for each row above until it finds the first empty one. That is just a waste of electrons. Check what is in Column A starting at row 2, to see why the original code is not working.
