Get a syntax error when trying to run this piece of code

End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Format cells as date
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+3 to format cells as date. (Shift 3 is the # sign which sort of looks like a small calendar).
What is Period? You have a variable called Entity but not one called Period.
