Dim lArray() As Long



    lMaxRow = Rows.Count

    lColCount = Count_range.Columns.Count

    lEndCol = Count_range.Columns(lColCount).Column

    ReDim lArray(lColCount)

    lStartCol = Count_range.Columns(1).Column

        For lLoop = lStartCol To lEndCol
            lArray(lArrElement) = Cells(lMaxRow, lLoop).End(xlUp).Row
            lArrElement = lArrElement + 1
        Next lLoop

        lMaxRow = WorksheetFunction.Max(lArray)

        strAddress = Range(Count_range.Cells(1, 1), _
            Cells(lMaxRow, lEndCol)).Address
