Ok need some help because the error isn't making sense to me. I have 4 dates in column A with around 12 copies of each(12-Jan-24, 19-Jan-24, 26-Jan-24, 02-Feb-24). I want to select a cell in column A and run a macro that will select all rows that have a match. The code I have is working for the dates 12-Jan-24 and 19-Jan-24, but gives an error (see pic) when running the macro when I have either date 26-Jan-24 and 02-Feb-24 active. I plan to cut and paste selected rows as to another sheet within the workbook, eventually after figuring out this issue. Any help would be appreciated.

VBA Code:
Option Explicit

Sub Date_Match_Rows_Select()
Dim tableR As Range, cell As Range, d As Range
Dim s As String
Set tableR = Range("A:A")
Set d = Selection
For Each cell In tableR
  If cell = d Then
  s = s & cell.Row & ":" & cell.Row & ", "
  End If
Next cell
s = Left(s, Len(s) - 2)
Range(s).Select
End Sub

Press Alt+F11 from Windows Excel to open the Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) editor.
Strange.. Here, find a safer version of your code. Maybe it helps:
VBA Code:
Option Explicit
Sub Date_Match_Rows_Select()
  Dim tableR As Range, cell As Range, d As Range
  Dim s As Range, lRow As Long
 
  lRow = Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
  Set tableR = Range("A1:A" & lRow)
  Set d = Selection
  Set s = d
  For Each cell In tableR
    If cell.Value2 = d.Value2 Then
      Set s = Union(s, cell)
    End If
  Next cell
  s.EntireRow.Select
End Sub

Solution
I am not getting an error with data as you described.
However, I am wondering why you have the code check 1,048,576 cells when you only have about 50 cells with data? :eek:

Just wondering if you get different result if you make this change in the code
Rich (BB code):
Set tableR = Range("A:A")
Set tableR = Range("A1:A100")

This is working perfectly. Thank you.

I have tried that, and it didn't make a difference. Thank you for the idea though.
