Run time error 13 - VBA Date mismatch in for next/loop

[aditya1234]

I am writing a VBA code in my excel. I have employees date of birth on Row F. Now, using VBA, I want phrase called "Happy Birthday" on column G for those employees who have birthdays. My table starts from row 6 to row 50. I wrote the following code but it always gives error in Month(Range("f" & y)). The month function gives me error. If, for example, I only write Range("f" & y), it will work fine. This means the Date of birth on column F isn't being recognized as DATE in my VBA (they are in date format in excel). There is a mismatch for sure. Can someone please help me how to fix this issue (using for next function as shown below)?>

Sheets("Employees").Select
For y = 6 To 50
If Month(VBA.Date) = Month(Range("f" & y)) Then
Range("g" & y).Value = "HBD"
Else
Range("g" & y).Value = "No hbd"
End If
Next y

End If
Next y

Also, just to add to my question above: A). I am looking at the month of date of birth only for wishing happy birthday and I am not looking at day. B). I want message called HBD or NO HBD to be posted on column G for each employee based on their DOB given on Column F .

Hi & welcome to MrExcel.
If you select F6:F50 & change the format to General what do you see?
