I have a range of data emp number, last name, first name, total minutes, coach and date, there is up to 100 rows as we pull this information daily.
I need to be able to compare the date to today's date then copy the first and last name of each employee when the date column equals today's date on a worksheet named for each month in today's date cell (this is formatted as a calendar).

I have always had issues with any loops, I could do a nested if statement however that's messy and long and should be a lot easier. so maybe a do while to step through each cell in the date column, maybe I'm asking the wrong question, this could also be why I cannot find the solution.

This is what I have so far, I know its not a loop but its a start

Code:
Sub emp_days()
    'This macro updates the calandar with the information required by matching dates.
        'turns off updating
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
        'Set variable to cell/s to reference for data require
    Dim Today As String
        Today = Sheets("sheet1").Range("O2").Value
    
    If Sheets("Sheet1").Range("$F$5").Value = Today Then
        Sheets("Sheet1").Activate
        Range("C5:B5").Select
        Selection.Copy
        Range("G2").Select
        Selection.PasteSpecial
                
    End If
    
End Sub

Excel Facts

Can you sort left to right?
To sort left-to-right, use the Sort dialog box. Click Options. Choose "Sort left to right"
Best not to use reserved words as variable names.
I know Today is in Excel and not in VBA, but just the same, best to avoid any confusion.

If you're going to use the value from o2 as a string I think you might need to coerce the dates of column F to strings by using Cstr

Does this work ?
Code:
Sub emp_days()
    'This macro updates the calandar with the information required by matching dates.
        'turns off updating
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
        'Set variable to cell/s to reference for data require
    
    Dim sToday As String
    Dim rng As Range
    Dim cl As Range
    
    With Sheets("Sheet1")
        sToday = .Range("o2").Value
        Set rng = .Range("F5", .Range("F" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
        For Each cl In rng
            If cl.Value = sToday Then
                cl.Offset(, 1).Value = cl.Offset(, -3).Value & " " & cl.Offset(, -4).Value
            End If
        Next cl
    End With
    
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
    
End Sub

This "almost" works, it does exactly what I'm looking for but it only gave me 1 of the selections as I had set up a test with data in column b,c and f. I set 2 cells in F with today's date and the rest with different dates and it only gave me the last one in the list not all of them.
