I'm not sure what are trying to achieve, but above code hasn't got proper context. What it means?
Range Object[^] represents a cell, a column, a row and selection of cells in currently active Sheet.

Please, do the following:

Activate Sheet1
Go to Code pane (ALT+F11)
Insert new module
Copy and paste below code

VB

Sub TestRange()
Range("A1") = "Test no. " & Rand()
End Sub

Run the code (F5)
Go to active sheet (Sheet1) and check A1 cell value
Now, go to another sheet (Sheet2) and run macro again
Check A1 cells in Sheet1 and Sheet2

Conclusion: Write the code on context of usage, for example:

Sheet1.Range("A1") = Rand()
'or (better)
Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1") =Rand()
'or (best of)
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1") =Rand()

Let get back to your question...
I would suggest you to write custom function:

VB

Function GetFirstEmptyRow(wsh As Worksheet, Optional sColName as String= "A") As Long
GetFirstEmptyRow = wsh.Range(sColName & wsh.Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row +1
End Function

Usage:

VB

Dim myWsh as Worksheet
Dim firstEmptyRow As Long
Set myWsh  = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1")
firstEmptyRow  = GetFirstEmptyRow(myWsh, "L")
myWsh.Range("L" & firstEmptyRow).Select
Set myWsh = Nothing
