you can try the following code to extract last row, last column ... however, it returns the column as a number, not letter:
Code:
Set xl_App = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
xl_App.Visible = false
Set xl_Sheet = xl_App.ActiveSheet

With xl_Sheet.Range("A1").SpecialCells(11)
  lastRow = .Row
  lastCol = .Column
End With

I managed it on my own. It may be a little "over the top" and there is probably a much easier way to do it, but as long as it works its okay with me

'---- Column Number to Letter ------

usedColumnsCount = objExcel.sheets(1).UsedRange.Columns.Count

if usedColumnsCount=1 Then lastColumnsLetter="A" else
if usedColumnsCount=2 Then lastColumnsLetter="B" else
if usedColumnsCount=3 Then lastColumnsLetter="C" else
if usedColumnsCount=4 Then lastColumnsLetter="D" else
if usedColumnsCount=5 Then lastColumnsLetter="E" else
if usedColumnsCount=6 Then lastColumnsLetter="F" else
if usedColumnsCount=7 Then lastColumnsLetter="G" else
if usedColumnsCount=8 Then lastColumnsLetter="H" else
if usedColumnsCount=9 Then lastColumnsLetter="I" else
if usedColumnsCount=10 Then lastColumnsLetter="J" else
if usedColumnsCount=11 Then lastColumnsLetter="K" else
if usedColumnsCount=12 Then lastColumnsLetter="L" else
if usedColumnsCount=13 Then lastColumnsLetter="M" else
if usedColumnsCount=14 Then lastColumnsLetter="N" else
if usedColumnsCount=15 Then lastColumnsLetter="O" else
if usedColumnsCount=16 Then lastColumnsLetter="P" else
if usedColumnsCount=17 Then lastColumnsLetter="Q" else
if usedColumnsCount=18 Then lastColumnsLetter="R" else
if usedColumnsCount=19 Then lastColumnsLetter="S" else
if usedColumnsCount=20 Then lastColumnsLetter="T" else
if usedColumnsCount=21 Then lastColumnsLetter="U" else
if usedColumnsCount=22 Then lastColumnsLetter="V" else
if usedColumnsCount=23 Then lastColumnsLetter="W" else
if usedColumnsCount=24 Then lastColumnsLetter="X" else
if usedColumnsCount=25 Then lastColumnsLetter="Y" else
if usedColumnsCount=26 Then lastColumnsLetter="Z" end if
