I have been working on this for two days to no avail. I am extremely new to VBA.

In my macro I would like to delete the rows that have due dates more than 190 days away from today's date, and those with due dates that are within 70 days.

Code:
Sub KeepBetween70and190()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("sheet2")

Application.ScreenUpdating = False

LastRow = Cells(Rows.Count, 8).End(xlUp).Row

    For i = LastRow To 2 Step -1
    
        If ws.Cells(i, 8).Value >= Date + 191 Or ws.Cells(H, 8).Value < Date + 70 Then
            .Rows(i).Delete
        End If
    
    Next i
    
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
    

End Sub

.Rows(i).delete is highlighted with the error "Compile error: Invalid or unqualified reference"

I can not figure this out for the life of me. If you know what I am doing wrong could you point out what and why it is wrong so that I can learn from this, please.
 
I'm confused.....How is it working if the dates in Sheet2 don't fit the criteria...:confused:

Excel Facts

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.
Based on what Michael has stated and post number 21
Anything that is greater than 7/8/19 and less than 3/10/19 on sheet two
If that is 9th July 2019 and 11th March 2019 (remember a day has passed) then you need to change my code in post number 28 from

Code:
 .AutoFilter Field:=8, Criteria1:= _
                    ">=" & CLng(Date + 70), Operator:=xlAnd, Criteria2:="<=" & CLng(Date + 190)
to
Code:
 .AutoFilter Field:=8, Criteria1:= _
                    "[COLOR="#FF0000"]<[/COLOR]=" & CLng(Date + 70), Operator:=xl[COLOR="#FF0000"]Or[/COLOR], Criteria2:="[COLOR="#FF0000"]>[/COLOR]=" & CLng(Date + 190)

Edit:
I know that is it ugly, but it is working.

I used record macro to copy and paste the data from sheet1 to sheet2.

Once there I used the coding provided to cut out the dates before 70 days, and after 190.

Again I used record macro to remove the duplicates, as there will already be data present in the sheet.

Code:
Sub KeepBetween2and6months()

'Unhides columns
    Cells.Select
    Range("B1").Activate
    Selection.EntireColumn.Hidden = False
'copies sheet1 Data
    Sheets("Sheet1").Select
    Range("A5").Select
    Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select
    Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlToRight)).Select
    Selection.Copy
'Pastes data
    Sheets("Sheet2").Select
    Range("A2").Select
    Selection.End(xlDown).Select
    ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Range("A1").Select
    ActiveSheet.Paste
    Range("A2").Select
    Application.CutCopyMode = False
'puts dates in chronological order
    Range("H3").Select
    Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select
    ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet2").Sort.SortFields.Clear
    ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet2").Sort.SortFields.Add Key:=Range("H3"), _
        SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, Order:=xlAscending, DataOption:=xlSortNormal
    With ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet2").Sort
        .SetRange Range("A3:O62")
        .Header = xlNo
        .MatchCase = False
        .Orientation = xlTopToBottom
        .SortMethod = xlPinYin
        .Apply
    End With
'deletes less than 2 months and more than 6 months
'thanks to reddit - Mark858
        Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    On Error Resume Next
    Sheets("Sheet2").ShowAllData
    On Error GoTo 0
    With Sheets("Sheet2").Range("A2:O" & Sheets("Sheet2").Range("H" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row)
        .AutoFilter Field:=8, Criteria1:= _
                    "<=" & CLng(Date + 70), Operator:=xlOr, Criteria2:=">=" & CLng(Date + 190)

        On Error Resume Next
        .Offset(1).Resize(.Rows.Count - 1).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).EntireRow.Delete
        On Error GoTo 0
        Sheets("Sheet2").ShowAllData
    End With
'Removes duplicates
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
        Range("A3:H70").Select
    ActiveSheet.Range("$A$2:$H$70").RemoveDuplicates Columns:=Array(1, 2, 3, 8), _
        Header:=xlYes
        
End Sub
