Hi all

Is there some VB code that will take a date from cell A1 and then check the dates stored through range E3:J7 and highlight the next date for each row...
so In this example below if today is 14FEB then G3 F4 F5 G6 and G7 will all be highlighted as they are next date from the date in A1, ie 14FEB

Hope that makes sense and many thanks in advance
 

Excel Facts

Select all contiguous cells
Pressing Ctrl+* (asterisk) will select the "current region" - all contiguous cells in all directions.
You could use this macro; at the moment it's static but you could use variables for dynamic ranges.
VBA Code:
Option Explicit
Sub Highlight_Later_Dates()
    Dim rw     As Long
    Dim cl     As Long
    Range("E3:J7").Interior.Color = xlNone
    For rw = 3 To 7
        For cl = 5 To 10
            If Cells(rw, cl).Value > Cells(1, 1).Value Then
                Cells(rw, cl).Interior.Color = vbYellow
                Exit For
            End If
        Next cl
    Next rw
End Sub

        Next cl
    Next rw
End Sub
Perfect - that will work nicely - thanks a lot
