Any assistance with this code would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Code:
Sub test()


Dim x As Integer
Dim y As Date


x = Year(Now) - 1
y = DateValue("x/1/1")


MsgBox y


End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Which lookup functions find a value equal or greater than the lookup value?
MATCH uses -1 to find larger value (lookup table must be sorted ZA). XLOOKUP uses 1 to find values greater and does not need to be sorted.
Since x is a variable and not literal text, it needs to be outside of the text qualifiers, and concatenated with the text part, i.e.
Code:
y = DateValue(x & "/1/1")

You are welcome.

It is important to understand the distinction between variables and literal values. In a nutshell, anything between double-quotes is treated as literal text. So you need to make sure all your variables and not between the double-quotes.
