Autofilter using two date interval_dates stored in two columns

[gyorid]

Dear All,

I have a database of projects and I need to filter to those projects which were active in 2016.
Column J contains the projects' start date, column K contains the projects' end date in a mm/dd/yyyy format.
So I do not want my filtered list to contain projects that run out of this interval but I want to be able to list every single project that had at least 1 active day in 2016 based on the start date and end date information stored in two different columns.
The other columns contains information such as project tilte, amount, currency etc... (Columns from A to AE) but I guess this is irrelevant...

Is there a VBA code for this problem? I tried so many codes before but all of them were unable to carry out the filtering on a way I explained above.

Thank you very much in advance.

Best wishes,
Daniel Gyori

It's easy if you add a helper column (AF) which shows the number of days in 2016 between the start and end dates. In AF2 put the formula

=MAX(MIN(DATE(2016,12,31),K2)-MAX(DATE(2016,1,1),J2)+1,0)

and drag down to the last row. Then autofilter on column AF:

Public Sub Test()

    Dim lr As Long
    
    With ActiveSheet
        lr = .Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
        .Range("A1:AF" & lr).AutoFilter Field:=32, Criteria1:=">0"
    End With

End Sub

This is a great help for me.
Have a great weekend!
