This filter is to filter the months (In column 6) on a sheet then copy the result over to another sheet but it won`t filter the first sheet?
Do I need to use a count x to count all filled-in cells in the column or do I need to use the date column (In Column 3) to filter?

VBA Code:
Option Explicit
Public Sub PromptUserForInputDates()
    
   
    
    Dim strStart As String, strEnd As String, strPromptMessage As String
    Dim wksData As Worksheet
    Dim x As Integer
    Dim Lastrow As Long
    Dim Months As Object
    
    strStart = InputBox("Please enter the Current JobNos.First Month")
    
    Set wksData = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("TGS JOB RECORD")
    Lastrow = wksData.Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
    Set Months = wksData.Range("F2:F" & Lastrow)
    
    For x = 2 To 6

    If Cells(x, 6).Value = strStart Then
        strPromptMessage = "Oops! It looks like your entry is not a valid " & _
                           "date. Please retry with a valid date..."
        MsgBox strPromptMessage
        Exit Sub
    End If
    Next x
    
strEnd = InputBox("Please enter the  Current JobNos. Last Month")
    
      For x = 2 To 6
      
    If Cells(x, 6).Value = strEnd Then
        strPromptMessage = "Oops! It looks like your entry is not a valid " & _
                           "date. Please retry with a valid date..."
        MsgBox strPromptMessage
        Exit Sub
    End If
    Next x
    Call CreateSubsetWorksheet(strStart, strEnd)
    
End Sub
