Excel Facts

Convert text numbers to real numbers
Select a column containing text numbers. Press Alt+D E F to quickly convert text to numbers. Faster than "Convert to Number"
ONE of these lines should be all you need

Test on a COPY of your workbook!

Do you want to delete values or the column ?
Is 2/1/2019 2nd January (UK) or 1st February (USA) ?

DELETE VALUES
Code:
[I][COLOR=#006400]2nd January 2019[/COLOR][/I]
    If Date > DateSerial(2019, 1, 2) Then ActiveSheet.Columns("A").ClearContents
[I][COLOR=#006400]1st February 2019[/COLOR][/I]
    If Date > DateSerial(2019, 1, 2) Then ActiveSheet.Columns("A").ClearContents
DELETE COLUMN
Code:
[I][COLOR=#006400]2nd January 2019[/COLOR][/I]
   If Date > DateSerial(2019, 1, 2) Then ActiveSheet.Columns("A").Delete
[I][COLOR=#006400]1st February 2019[/COLOR][/I]
    If Date > DateSerial(2019, 1, 2) Then ActiveSheet.Columns("A").Delete
