I tried to post this earlier but I think something went wrong. I have a question regarding a VBA possibility or capability.

I have the following data layout Created by hand. Is it possible to create it through VBA?

A B C D <---- columns
[TABLE="width: 472"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]1/15/2017[/TD]
[TD]1/13/2018[/TD]
[TD] 21100000001001000000BBBB[/TD]
[TD] 3/7/2018[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

I need the date in column "D" minus 1 month for 24 months counting backward to be checked against the first two dates.

If that date falls between those dates then I need the count of that month from the values in "D" of the characters in "C" to be turned red.

So above the dates 2/7/18 and 1/7/18 both fall between 1/15/17 and 1/13/18 and so the first two characters are red.

Can this be done in VBA?

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
An example:

Code:
Sub RedText()
Dim i%, dt As Date, y%, mon%, ds As Date
dt = [d14]                                      ' cell D14
mon = Month(dt)
y = Year(dt)
For i = 1 To 24
    mon = mon - 1
    If mon = 0 Then
        mon = 12
        y = y - 1
    End If
    ds = DateSerial(y, mon, Day(dt))
    If ds > [a14] And ds < [b14] Then _
    [c14].Characters(i, 1).Font.Color = vbRed
Next
End Sub
