Macro copying Column Range instead of individual Column

I've written a basic macro with extracts records based on two dates:


Code:
Sub extractDataBasedOnDate()


Dim lastrow As Long, erow As Long, i As Long
Dim mydate As Date
Dim StartDate As Date
Dim EndDate As Date


StartDate = Worksheets("Expense Report").Cells(3, 1).Value
EndDate = Worksheets("Expense Report").Cells(3, 2).Value
lastrow = Worksheets("Expenses").Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row


Worksheets("Expense Report").Rows(7 & ":" & Sheet2.Rows.Count).Delete


Worksheets("Expenses").Activate
Worksheets("Expenses").Range("A1").Select


For i = 2 To lastrow


    mydate = Cells(i, 6)
    If mydate >= StartDate And mydate <= EndDate Then
    erow = Sheet2.Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).Row
    Range(Cells(i, 2), Cells(i, 6)).Copy Destination:=Sheets("Expense Report").Cells(erow, 1)
    End If
Next i


End Sub


The problem I am having is that it is returning every column between Cells(i, 2) to Cells(i , 6).
I had intended to only copy the two columns (Column B and F), how can I achieve this?
Do I need to do a separate line for each column?


Thanks!
 

Excel Facts

Format cells as date
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+3 to format cells as date. (Shift 3 is the # sign which sort of looks like a small calendar).
Try this:
Code:
Sub extractDataBasedOnDate()

Dim lastrow As Long, erow As Long, i As Long
Dim mydate As Date
Dim StartDate As Date
Dim EndDate As Date

StartDate = Worksheets("Expense Report").Cells(3, 1).Value
EndDate = Worksheets("Expense Report").Cells(3, 2).Value
lastrow = Worksheets("Expenses").Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row

Worksheets("Expense Report").Rows(7 & ":" & Sheet2.Rows.Count).Delete

Worksheets("Expenses").Activate
Worksheets("Expenses").Range("A1").Select

For i = 2 To lastrow

    mydate = Cells(i, 6)
    If mydate >= StartDate And mydate <= EndDate Then
    erow = Sheet2.Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).Row
    'New
    
    Application.Union(Cells(i, 2), Cells(i, 6)).Copy Destination:=Sheets("Expense Report").Cells(erow, 1)
    End If
Next i

End Sub
