I'm very new to VBA and am struggling to find a solution to this. I have a column of equipment and rows of dates to act as a checkout system. The idea is a person would add their name to the dates and the date along with the name shifts 1 cell left daily so that column B is always the current day. Currently, the code I have works perfectly to achieve this but I am wanting to add the functionality of including any cell fill color to also shift 1 cell left every day. Would someone have any suggestions what I could add or modify to this existing code to include fill color? If you need any additional information or clarification let me know

VBA Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate()
' check if first day is changed
If [b8] = [z1] Then Exit Sub

  Dim a, i As Long
  
On Error GoTo CleanExit:
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.EnableEvents = False

' days since last data shift
i = [b8] - [z1]

If i > 0 And i < 7 Then
    'store data to shift
    a = Range(Cells(10, 1 + (i + 1)), Cells(40, 63)).Value
    
    'clear old data
    Range("b10:bk40").ClearContents
    
    'write stored data
    Cells(10, 2).Resize(31, 62 - (i)) = a

Else
    'clear old data
    Range("b10:bk40").ClearContents

End If

    
' store new date
Range("z1") = Range("b8").Value


Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Application.EnableEvents = True
Exit Sub

CleanExit:
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
    Application.EnableEvents = True
    Err.Clear
  
End Sub

Excel Facts

What does custom number format of ;;; mean?
Three semi-colons will hide the value in the cell. Although most people use white font instead.
My first thought would be to delete the portion of column B, maybe B7:B20, and shift the remaining data left. Of course, copy the data elsewhere first if it needs to be saved.

VBA Code:
Range("B7:B20").Delete Shift:xlToLeft

I had to change the syntax a bit, Shift:=xlToLeft, but that works great! Much simpler too. Thanks!
