I have current macro below, many thanks and all credit to Kevin9999, that generates exactly the outcome I want.
However if there is no data in column F then a debug error occurs and the user is thrown into the VBA interface with which they are unfamiliar.
The user should not run the macro before entering the data but given there are several, be they colour coded macro assigned buttons it can happen.

What I need is a few lines of code at the beginning that effectively checks IF(SUM(F2:F318)<1 then abort macro with message box "No Dates In Column F", "OK"
Guess it could just abort but user would not be aware of why the error

For info column F is data validated to only allow dates, but guess this is pretty irrelevant as they are just numbers to Excel.

Any help appreciated.
Thanks
Paul

Excel Facts

VLOOKUP to Left?
Use =VLOOKUP(A2,CHOOSE({1,2},$Z$1:$Z$99,$Y$1:$Y$99),2,False) to lookup Y values to left of Z values.
Maybe something Like this:
VBA Code:
Sub Prepare_Fixtures_From_TAB()
  Dim ws1 As Worksheet, ws2 As Worksheet, rng As Range, r As Range, i As Long, d As Date, j As Long
  Set ws1 = ActiveSheet
  Set ws2 = Worksheets("FIXTURES")
  ws2.Cells.ClearContents
  Set = ws1.Columns("F")
  If Application.Sum(rng)>0 Then
    d = Application.Max(rng)
    Set r = rng.Find(d)
    i = r.Row

    If i > 0 Then
      ws1.Range("D1:N" & i + 1).Copy
      ws2.Range("D1").PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
      Application.CutCopyMode = False
    End If

    Sheets("FIXTURES").Select
    Range("C1").Select

    For  j = 3 to 318 Step 3
      Range("E" & j).Clear
    Next

    Range("C1").Select
  End If
End Sub

Flashbond already answered this, but did you want a Msgbox message?

VBA Code:
Sub Prepare_Fixtures_From_TAB()
Dim ws1 As Worksheet, ws2 As Worksheet, rng As Range, r As Range, i As Long, d As Date
Set ws1 = ActiveSheet
Set ws2 = Worksheets("FIXTURES")
ws2.Cells.ClearContents
Set rng = ws1.Columns("F")

If Application.Sum(rng) = 0 Then
    MsgBox "No Dates In Column F", , "Error"
    Exit Sub
End If

d = Application.Max(rng)
Set r = rng.Find(d)
i = r.Row

If i > 0 Then
ws1.Range("D1:N" & i + 1).Copy
ws2.Range("D1").PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
Application.CutCopyMode = False
End If

Sheets("FIXTURES").Select
Range("C1").Select

Range("E3,E6,E9,E12,E15,E18,E21,E24,E27,E30,E33,E36,E39,E42,E45,E48,E51,E54,E57,E60,E63,E66,E69,E72,E75,E78,E81,E84,E87,E90,E93,E96,E99,E102,E105,E108,E111,E114,E117,E120,E123").Clear
Range("E126,E129,E132,E135,E138,E141,E144,E147,E150,E153,E156,E159,E162,E165,E168,E171,E174,E177,E180,E183,E186,E186,E192,E195,E198,E201,E204,E207,E210,E213,E216,E219,E222,E225").Clear
Range("E228,E231,E234,E237,E240,E243,E246,E249,E252,E255,E258,E261,E264,E267,E270,E273,E276,E279,E282,E285,E288,E291,E294,E297,E300,E303,E306,E309,E312,E315,E318").Clear

Hi Flashbond VBA doesn't like "Set = ws1.Columns("F")" and highlights this is red when I paste it in, also generate a compile syntax error on running.
Code by TUPE works perfectly, many thanks to you both for your efforts.
