Hi Guys,

Can you possibly help me of how to code for this scenario:

Basically, I need to exclude the data not older than 4 years. However for the computation, the start date is not based from the current date but I want to set the date so a message box will pop asking me what is the starting date for computation.

[TABLE="class: grid, width: 500"]

Excel Facts

Shade all formula cells
To shade all formula cells: Home, Find & Select, Formulas to select all formulas. Then apply a light fill color.
Try:
Code:
Sub ExludeDates()
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    Dim LastRow As Long, sDate As String
    LastRow = Cells.Find("*", SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious).Row
    sDate = InputBox("Please enter a starting date.", "Start Date", Format(Date, "yyyy/mm/dd"))
    If sDate = "" Then Exit Sub
    With Cells(1, 1).CurrentRegion
        .AutoFilter 4, "<" & DateSerial(Year(CDate(sDate)) - 4, Month(CDate(sDate)), Day(CDate(sDate)))
        Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Offset(2) = "Excluded"
        Range("A2:E" & LastRow).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).Copy Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Offset(1)
        Range("A2:E" & LastRow).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).EntireRow.Delete
        .AutoFilter
    End With
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Thanks Mumps!

By the way, can you confirm if in the code "With Cells(1,1) = Row, Column? Still learning with coding.

I did ask as I try the codes where the header is in Row 3 and the date is in 5th column. When I run the macro, the header went missing and found that its in the EXCLUDED SECTION

Excel Sheet:
Row 1 = Title
Row 2 = Data Description
Row3 = HEADERS
Row 4 = DATA STARTS and so on


Can you help to modify the codes?


Thank you! :)

Try:
Code:
Sub ExludeDates()
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    Dim LastRow As Long, sDate As String
    LastRow = Cells.Find("*", SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious).Row
    sDate = InputBox("Please enter a starting date.", "Start Date", Format(Date, "yyyy/mm/dd"))
    If sDate = "" Then Exit Sub
    With Cells(1, 1).CurrentRegion
        .AutoFilter 4, "<" & DateSerial(Year(CDate(sDate)) - 4, Month(CDate(sDate)), Day(CDate(sDate)))
        Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Offset(2) = "Excluded"
        Range("A4:E" & LastRow).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).Copy Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Offset(1)
        Range("A4:E" & LastRow).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).EntireRow.Delete
        .AutoFilter
    End With
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

"Cells(1,1)" is the same as "Range("A1"). Either one can be used.
