The below code needs to find the specified date but it won`t? Please help it is sending me nuts

VBA Code:
        With Rng
       
        Set D = .Find(What:=YDat, LookIn:=xlValues, _
        LookAt:=xlPart, _
        SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _
        SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
        MatchCase:=False)

Sub BOReason()

    Dim Ws             As Worksheet
    Dim LRow           As Long
    Dim x              As Variant, y As Variant, i As Variant
    Dim Rng            As Range, Comparerng As Range, D As Range
    Dim YDat           As Date
    Dim TDat           As Date
    Dim LWorkingDay    As Date
    Dim StartTime      As Double
    Dim SecondsElapsed As Double
   
    StartTime = Timer
   
    With Application
    .ScreenUpdating = False
    .Calculation = xlCalculationManual
    End With

       

        Set Ws = ActiveSheet
        LRow = Ws.Range("A1").End(xlDown).Row
        Set Rng = Ws.Range("A1" & LRow)
        YDat = Format(CDate(Application.WorksheetFunction.WorkDay(Date, -1)), "dd/mm/yyyy")
        TDat = CDate(Date)
       
        With Rng
       
        Set D = .Find(What:=YDat, LookIn:=xlValues, _
        LookAt:=xlPart, _
        SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _
        SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
        MatchCase:=False)
       
        If Not D Is Nothing Then
        Do
        Set D = .FindNext(D)
        Loop While Not D Is Nothing
        .AutoFilter 1, Format(TDat, "dd/mm/yyyy"), 2, Format(YDat, "dd/mm/yyyy")
        ElseIf D Is Nothing Then
        .AutoFilter 1, Format(TDat, "dd/mm/yyyy")
        End If
       
        End With

          If Ws.Name <> "Summary" And Ws.Name <> "Trend" And Ws.Name <> "Supplier BO" And Ws.Name <> "Dif Depot" Then

            Set Comparerng = .Range("E2:E" & LRow)

                 For Each x In Comparerng.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)
                For Each y In Comparerng.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)

                       If x = y Then
                            .Range("J" & y.Row) = .Range("J" & x.Row)
                        End If
                    Next y
               Next x
            End If

        .Range("AA1") = ""
        End With
.
    With Application
    .ScreenUpdating = True
    .Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic
    End With


    Ws.ShowAllData

SecondsElapsed = Round(Timer - StartTime, 2)

MsgBox "This code ran successfully in " & SecondsElapsed & " seconds", vbInformation

End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Can you AutoAverage in Excel?
There is a drop-down next to the AutoSum symbol. Open the drop-down to choose AVERAGE, COUNT, MAX, or MIN
With this
VBA Code:
YDat = Format(CDate(Application.WorksheetFunction.WorkDay(Date, -1)), "dd/mm/yyyy")
YDat is text string

With this:
VBA Code:
Set D = .Find(What:=YDat, LookIn:=xlValues, _
        LookAt:=xlPart, _
        SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _
        SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
        MatchCase:=False)

is searching text-string (like "23/06/2022") in rng (column A)

Make sure column A contains date in text-string, not date value.

Here you go

VBA Code:
Sub BOReason()

    Dim Ws             As Worksheet
    Dim LRow           As Long
    Dim x              As Variant, y As Variant, i As Variant, Dat As Variant
    Dim Rng            As Range, Comparerng As Range
    Dim YDat           As Date
    Dim TDat           As Date
    Dim LWorkingDay    As Date
    Dim StartTime      As Double
    Dim SecondsElapsed As Double
   
    StartTime = Timer
   
    With Application
    .ScreenUpdating = False
    .Calculation = xlCalculationManual
    End With

       

        Set Ws = ActiveSheet
        LRow = Ws.Cells.Find("*", SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious).Row
        
        YDat = Format(CDate(Application.WorksheetFunction.WorkDay(Date, -1)), "dd/mm/yyyy")
        TDat = CDate(Date)
        Dat = YDat
        
        On Error Resume Next
            For Each Dat In Ws.Range("A2:A" & LRow)
            Set Rng = Ws.Range("A2:A" & LRow).Find(YDat, LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:=xlWhole)
            Next Dat
        
        With Rng
             If Rng Is Nothing Then
                .AutoFilter 1, Format(TDat, "dd/mm/yyyy")
            Else
                .AutoFilter 1, Format(TDat, "dd/mm/yyyy"), 2, Format(YDat, "dd/mm/yyyy")
             End If
             End With
        
        With Ws
          If Ws.Name <> "Summary" And Ws.Name <> "Trend" And Ws.Name <> "Supplier BO" And Ws.Name <> "Dif Depot" Then

            Set Comparerng = .Range("E2:E" & LRow)

                 For Each x In Comparerng.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)
                For Each y In Comparerng.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)

                       If x = y Then
                            .Range("J" & y.Row) = .Range("J" & x.Row)
                        End If
                    Next y
               Next x
            End If

        .Range("AA1") = ""
        End With

    With Application
    .ScreenUpdating = True
    .Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic
    End With


    Ws.ShowAllData

SecondsElapsed = Round(Timer - StartTime, 2)

MsgBox "This code ran successfully in " & SecondsElapsed & " seconds", vbInformation

I don't whether to leave it alone because it is working for you but just in case you want to know.

This line doesn't do anything:
VBA Code:
Dat = YDat

Even if it did serve a purpose it is overwritten by this:
VBA Code:
For Each Dat In Ws.Range("A2:A" & LRow)

But then there is nothing in the following line that changes as you loop through the cells
VBA Code:
Set Rng = Ws.Range("A2:A" & LRow).Find(YDat, LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:=xlWhole)
So there it really no benefit to have that inside that For loop.

Ok, Do it how you think it should be please then send it to me. I admit I am still learning VBA so it would help me to understand coding better

The first 2 lines are just for context.

But you should be able to replace this:
VBA Code:
        YDat = Format(CDate(Application.WorksheetFunction.WorkDay(Date, -1)), "dd/mm/yyyy")
        TDat = CDate(Date)
        Dat = YDat
        
        On Error Resume Next
            For Each Dat In Ws.Range("A2:A" & LRow)
            Set Rng = Ws.Range("A2:A" & LRow).Find(YDat, LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:=xlWhole)
            Next Dat

With the below and still get the same result.
VBA Code:
        YDat = Format(CDate(Application.WorksheetFunction.WorkDay(Date, -1)), "dd/mm/yyyy")
        TDat = CDate(Date)

        On Error Resume Next
            Set Rng = Ws.Range("A2:A" & LRow).Find(YDat, LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:=xlWhole)
