I have some code, trying to format several columns as dates, what is wrong with it as it won't work?

Code:
    Set sht = Worksheets("Home")

    With sht

        Set tbl = .ListObjects("tblCosting")
        
        For Each tblrow In tbl.ListRows
            Combo = Format(tblrow.Range.Cells(1, 1), "mmmm yyyy")
            Set wsDst = Sheets(Combo)
            
            With wsDst
                'This copies the first 10 columns, i.e. A:J, of the current row of the table to column A in the destination sheet.
                tblrow.Range.Resize(, 10).copy
                With .Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1)
                    .PasteSpecial xlPasteValuesAndNumberFormats
[COLOR=#ff0000]                    .Columns("A", "AD", "AE").NumberFormat = "dd/mm/yyyy"[/COLOR]
                'This should go to the 15th column in the current row, i.e. column O, and copy that column and the next 2 columns, i.e. O:Q, to column K on the destination sheet.
                tblrow.Range.Offset(, 14).Resize(, 3).copy
                .Range("K" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1).PasteSpecial xlPasteValuesAndNumberFormats
                'Similarly this should copy columns AD:AF from the table to column N on the destination sheet.
                tblrow.Range.Offset(, 29).Resize(, 3).copy
                .Range("N" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1).PasteSpecial xlPasteValuesAndNumberFormats
            End With
            
        Next tblrow
 

Excel Facts

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
Maybe....

Code:
    With wsDst
        'This copies the first 10 columns, i.e. A:J, of the current row of the table to column A in the destination sheet.
        tblrow.Range.Resize(, 10).Copy
        .Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1).PasteSpecial xlPasteValuesAndNumberFormats

        .Range("A:A", "AD:AD", "AE:AE").NumberFormat = "dd/mm/yyyy"
        'This should go to the 15th column in the current row, i.e. column O, and copy that column and the next 2 columns, i.e. O:Q, to column K on the destination sheet.
        tblrow.Range.Offset(, 14).Resize(, 3).Copy
        .Range("K" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1).PasteSpecial xlPasteValuesAndNumberFormats
        'Similarly this should copy columns AD:AF from the table to column N on the destination sheet.
        tblrow.Range.Offset(, 29).Resize(, 3).Copy
        .Range("N" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1).PasteSpecial xlPasteValuesAndNumberFormats
    End With

firstly your columns line is in the wrong place as you're with statement is for column "A"
So, move move it up above that line and use
Code:
Range("A1,AD1,AE1").EntireColumn.NumberFormat = "dd/mm/yyyy"

Going mad and left in the quotes in my last post so again maybe...

Code:
With wsDst
        'This copies the first 10 columns, i.e. A:J, of the current row of the table to column A in the destination sheet.
        tblrow.Range.Resize(, 10).Copy
        .Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1).PasteSpecial xlPasteValuesAndNumberFormats

        .Range("A:A, AD:AD, AE:AE").NumberFormat = "dd/mm/yyyy"
        'This should go to the 15th column in the current row, i.e. column O, and copy that column and the next 2 columns, i.e. O:Q, to column K on the destination sheet.
        tblrow.Range.Offset(, 14).Resize(, 3).Copy
        .Range("K" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1).PasteSpecial xlPasteValuesAndNumberFormats
        'Similarly this should copy columns AD:AF from the table to column N on the destination sheet.
        tblrow.Range.Offset(, 29).Resize(, 3).Copy
        .Range("N" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1).PasteSpecial xlPasteValuesAndNumberFormats
End With
