Hello,

@Petertenthije kindly provided the below code for my absence tracker on 13 August 2022.

On the "current 12 months" tab, is held all absences within the current 12 month rolling period. The code will then activate upon opening the workbook and move any rows with an absence start date of less than 12 months from today to the "previous 12 months" tab. Then, on the "previous 12 months" tab, any rows with an absence start date of less than 24 months in the current 24-month rolling period are deleted.
  • Current 12 months Tab - All absences in the latest 12 month rolling period
  • Previous 12 months Tab - All absences in the previous 12 month rolling period
I now need this to change, so that it looks at:
  • Current 6 months Tab - All absence in the last 6 month rolling period from the current day (based on absence start date)
  • Previous 6 months Tab - All absence from 6 months to 12 months from the current day (based on absence start date)
  • Previous 12 months Tab - All absence between 12 months and 24 months (based on absence start date)
Basically, when the workbook is opened, the code should move the rows between each tab, based on the absence start date and finally delete the row from "previous 12 months" once the absence start date is more than 24 months old from today.

The names and order of the columns will remain the same.

Hope this makes sense. @petertenthije original code is below:

VBA Code:
Sub Workbook_Open()



' Set variables
    ' Move date
        Dim ToBeMovedDate As Long
        ToBeMovedDate = DateSerial(Year(Date) - 1, Month(Date), Day(Date))
    ' Delete date
        Dim ToBeDeletedDate As Long
        ToBeDeletedDate = DateSerial(Year(Date) - 2, Month(Date), Day(Date))
    ' Last row with data, current 12 months
        Dim LastRowCurrent12Months As String
        LastRowCurrent12Months = Sheets("Current 12 months").Cells(Sheets("Current 12 months").Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
    ' Last row with data, previous 12 months
        Dim LastRowPrevious12Months As String
        LastRowPrevious12Months = Sheets("Previous 12 months").Cells(Sheets("Previous 12 months").Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row



' Remove existing filters , if applicable
    On Error Resume Next
        Sheets("Current 12 months").ShowAllData
        Sheets("Previous 12 months").ShowAllData
    On Error GoTo 0



'   o-------------------------------------------------------------o
'   |   MOVE LINES FROM CURRENT 12 MONTHS TO PREVIOUS 12 MONTHS   |
'   o-------------------------------------------------------------o

    ' Verify there are rows to be moved
        NumberOfRowsOnCurrent = WorksheetFunction.CountIfs(Sheets("Current 12 months").Range("J:J"), "<=" & ToBeMovedDate)

If NumberOfRowsOnCurrent > 0 Then
    ' Filter dates to be moved
        Sheets("Current 12 months").Range("A:N").AutoFilter Field:=10, Criteria1:="<=" & ToBeMovedDate
    ' Copy data to be moved to previous 12 months
        Sheets("Current 12 months").Select
        Sheets("Current 12 months").Range("A2:N" & LastRowCurrent12Months).Select
        Selection.Offset(0, 0).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).EntireRow.Copy
    ' Paste data into previous 12 months worksheet
        Sheets("Previous 12 months").Select
        Sheets("Previous 12 months").Range("A" & LastRowPrevious12Months + 1).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
    ' Remove copied data from current 12 months
        Sheets("Current 12 months").Select
        Sheets("Current 12 months").Range("A2:N" & LastRowCurrent12Months).Select
        Selection.Offset(0, 0).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).EntireRow.Delete
    ' Remove filter
        Sheets("Current 12 months").ShowAllData
End If



'   o-------------------------------------------------------------o
'   |            REMOVE LINES FROM PREVIOUS 12 MONTHS             |
'   o-------------------------------------------------------------o

    ' Verify there are rows to be removed
        NumberOfRowsOnPrevious = WorksheetFunction.CountIfs(Sheets("Previous 12 months").Range("J:J"), "<=" & ToBeDeletedDate)

If NumberOfRowsOnPrevious > 0 Then
    ' Filter dates to be deleted
        Sheets("Previous 12 months").Select
        Sheets("Previous 12 months").Range("A:N").AutoFilter Field:=10, Criteria1:="<=" & ToBeDeletedDate

        Selection.Offset(0, 0).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).EntireRow.Delete
    ' Remove filter
        Sheets("PRevious 12 months").ShowAllData
End If

Excel Facts

What did Pito Salas invent?
Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.
When you say previous 6 months, what exactly do you mean?

OK, today is October 21st.
Do you then mean april 21st.
Do you mean april 1st?
What if it’s september 30th, there is no february 30th.
Or today’s date minus 180[ish] days?

Hi There,

Thanks very much for getting back to me.

So it would be based on the same date 6 months ago: today's date, it would April 21st, tomorrow, April 22nd and so on.

In the example of September 30th, February 28th would be ok but if March 1st also ok. It would be a rare occurrence, so not too much of a worry.

When the workbook is opened, the code would look at the absence start date and determine which sheet to move the row to, or if it needs deleting from the last 12 months sheet when it becomes more than 24 months old form the current day.

Hope this is clear, I am very grateful for your time spent helping me.

Kind Regards
Chris

Hi Chris,

It’s a bit difficult without seeing your actual data – it always helps if you can provide (at least) a small sample using the XL2BB add in

The following code is based on your workbook having sheets called "Current 6 months", "Previous 6 months" and "Previous 12 months" – change these names in the code if they’re not correct. The code is based on your data starting in row 2 of each sheet, with row 1 containing the headers. Again, without seeing your data, I don’t know what your date format is – I’ve assumed it’s "dd/mm/yyyy". Change this if it’s something different. Assumed also that your date column to test is column J.

Rather than testing this as a WorkBook.Open event module (which is what you seem to want) try running it first on a copy of your data to see if it’s doing what you want it to. Let me know how it goes.

VBA Code:
Option Explicit
Sub Chris_010101()
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
   
    'Set worksheet variables
    Dim WsC6 As Worksheet, WsP6 As Worksheet, WsP12 As Worksheet
    Set WsC6 = Worksheets("Current 6 months")
    Set WsP6 = Worksheets("Previous 6 months")
    Set WsP12 = Worksheets("Previous 12 months")
   
    'Move old records from the Current 6 months sheet first
    Dim d As Date, d2 As Date, LRow As Long
    d = WorksheetFunction.EDate(Date, -6)
    d = Format(d, "dd/mm/yyyy")
    LRow = WsP6.Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(3).Row + 1
    With WsC6.Range("A1").CurrentRegion
        .AutoFilter 10, "<" & CDbl(d)
        If WsC6.Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row > 1 Then
            .Offset(1).Resize(.Rows.Count - 1).Copy WsP6.Cells(LRow, 1)
            .Offset(1).Resize(.Rows.Count - 1).EntireRow.Delete
        End If
        .AutoFilter
    End With
   
    'Move old records from the Previous 6 months sheet second
    d2 = WorksheetFunction.EDate(Date, -12)
    d2 = Format(d2, "dd/mm/yyyy")
    LRow = WsP12.Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(3).Row + 1

Hello,

Thank you very much for this. The assumptions about sheet names, headers and column J etc. are correct.

My IT Department said no when I asked to install XL2BB but I can send it to my personal computer if needed, just let me know.

I'm just testing it and will come back

Kind Regards

Hi Chris

I thought I'd read your response and you may have since edited it? Something about leaving the filters on at the conclusion & running the code automatically when you open the file? To that end, I've amended to code to leave the filters switched on, and turned the sub into a Workbook_Open event module. Can I assume you know where to put the workbook open code, i.e. not in a standard module? If you're unsure, here's a YouTube video that will help: Microsoft Excel - VBA Code on the Workbook Open Event.

VBA Code:
Private Sub Workbook_Open()

    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    
    'Set worksheet variables

Hi There,

I did reply and then managed to break it after it worked, I realised I'd leant on the keyboard before closing the VBA window 🤣

This works really well, and I've tested it and it works now upon workbook open.

I really am grateful, all the senior leadership team in my company (including the CEO and board) have been really impressed by this, as it is saving my team almost half a day's worth of work each week, so thank you and @petertenthije for all your help.

If there's any way I can repay you, perhaps making a donation to a charity you are involved with, please let me know.

Kind Regards
Chris
