Hello, can anyone help me with this please - the macro is deleting all dates older than 5 days even if the adjacent cell is not empty:

VBA Code:
Sub DeleteOldDates()

Dim RFA As Range
Dim RFARng As Range
Dim CurrentDate
Dim tblTracker As ListObject
Dim lrow As Long

Set tblTracker = shTracker.ListObjects("tblTracker")
lrow = tblTracker.Range.Rows(tblTracker.Range.Rows.Count).Row

Set RFARng = Range("Z20:Z" & lrow)
CurrentDate = Date

Application.ScreenUpdating = False

On Error Resume Next

For Each RFA In RFARng
    If RFA.Offset(0, 1) = "" And WorksheetFunction.WorkDay(RFA.Value, 5, Range("Holidays")) < CurrentDate Then
        RFA.ClearContents
    End If

Next RFA

Application.EventsEnable = True
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
    
End Sub

I have also tried if ISBLANK(RFA.Offset(0, 1)) but that didn't work either :confused:

Excel Facts

Best way to learn Power Query?
Read M is for (Data) Monkey book by Ken Puls and Miguel Escobar. It is the complete guide to Power Query.
You need to step through the code and check your variable (or range) values and/or data types. If you are referring to this line as being the one that deletes
If RFA.Offset(0, 1) = "" And WorksheetFunction.WorkDay(RFA.Value, 5, Range("Holidays")) < CurrentDate Then
then both things must be True even if you think they are not.
One way might be to temporarily comment out the delete line and debug.print the components and check the output. Perhaps like
VBA Code:
Debug.Print RFA.Offset(0,1) & " Function Value: " &  WorksheetFunction.WorkDay(RFA.Value, 5, Range("Holidays")) & " Current_Date: " & CurrentDate
