Hi

Everything is working fine, only one thing, when the macro moves the selected data onto a new workbook as per the attached screenshot capture1. This is good so far but the issue is that the autofilter is still visible. When I remove the autofilter it expands the whole data for the 214 records instead of 4 records. My code is as below using Greater Than in VBA. I have tried to use paste special and this doesn’t work. What is the best way to do this?

' Input Greater than

ActiveSheet.Range("A1").AutoFilter Field:=7, Criteria1:=">" & Application.InputBox("Great Than Date"), Operator:=xlAnd

'Move to new workbook

ActiveSheet.Move

Ideally it would be as the attached screenshot capture 2. I run a macro, I get an inputbox to allow me to enter the date using the Greater than. This will select the data and move it to a new workbook. Hope this makes sense?

Your help is much appreciated on this matter.

Thank you

Regards

I don't believe the issue is with the code but with the data.
The way it looks to me in the image in Post #7 the Date-Time field is Text (Column G)

To convert Column G to date-time, select the column and
• Ctrl+H then replace "." with "/" without quotes (period with slash)
• Text to Columns > Delimited > Finish

Then try the macro again.

Asssuming that works you then need to address how the data is being populated to address the how to automate the process in the future.

Hi vbanewbie68,

my last try here, use this shortened codeline:

VBA Code:
lngDate = CDate(varAns)

And to be honest: I would never let any user enter a date via Inputbox/Application.InputBox. By setting Type:=2 for the second one the value returned is a string but that string could hold any value or special character breaking the conversion to Date.

Microsoft had a Date Picker which was taken out of the available controls nearly ten years ago. I would either depend on any third party (free9 DatePicker/calnedarControl or help myself with a small UserForm (3 Comboboxes and 2 CommandButtons) but would have to make sure that Feb. 29, 2023 is not a valid Date (you can restrict that by making the controls available only after year and then month have been chosen).

Hi Holger

I am pleased to let you know that I have managed to fix the issue with your last code in it. It works successfully. Again thank you so much of your time on this matter. I have learned greatly from your codes and your useful comments too. 😀
