Hi
I'm looking for VBA code for including in my duty rota. I have already inserted formulas (excel formula) wherein when month is selected it returns the number of days in a month including the day (Monday etc). However as you know February has 28 days and some months have 30 days etc. My formula restarts with date 1 which I want to get rid off (refer attached screenshot). Request your support in getting VBA code.
The program should only show rows based on the days in a month and hide balance rows (last 2-3 rows based on month)

Regards,
Nith

Hi, thanks for your quick response. Yes it clears out the repetition of dates/day based on month (AF-AH), however it doesn't delete the rows. Request you to let me know if any code which can delete these rows based on the month selected.

Delete what rows? None of your examples included rows of data with dates. Your original Post said you wanted to "get rid" of rows, but there was not explanation where these rows are
(are they on the same sheet, different sheet, different workbook, ...). What column is the "date" in for the rows that are to be deleted.

Please provide a more complete set of sample data. Upload sample mini-sheets of sample data via XL2BB

Assuming that delete the rows really means delete the columns
this should do it
VBA Code:
Sub Only_Days_Of_The_Month()
    
    Dim HowMany As Long
    Dim rng As Range
    
'days in this particular month
HowMany = CInt(Range("C9").Text)
If HowMany = 31 Then Exit Sub
    
'end day will be in column HowMany plus 3
Set rng = Cells(11, HowMany + 3).Offset(, 1).Resize(, 31 - HowMany)
rng.EntireColumn.Delete

End Sub

But if you're going to use VBA to fix things why not use VBA to put the dates in to start with?
based on your C7 and C8 cells
VBA Code:
Sub PutInDates()
    Dim startdate As Date, printdate As Date
    Dim j As Long, col As Long
    
'  first date
startdate = Range("C7").Value

' clear cells that may receive dates
Range("D11:AH12").ClearContents
' write in dates
col = 4
j = 0
With Range("11:11")
    Do
        printdate = startdate + j
        .Cells(, col + j).Resize(2) = printdate
        j = j + 1
    Loop Until printdate = Range("C8").Value
End With

End Sub

Hi Thanks for your quick responses.
Actually I was trying to run both the programs but no success. the dates and day row returns with date. I was able to modify it but it does not change automatically when I select different month or year. May be if i'm missing something?
Sorry I'm actually new to VBA. I have enabled macros in options and also below method;
Click Developer > Visual Basic. In the VBA Project Explorer on the left hand side, expand the VBA Project folder for your workbook, then double-click the ThisWorkbook module. Paste your recorded code
but the dates do not change

Using the workbook you have posted over at Oz, here's what I would do...

Right click on the sheet tab and select View Code. This opens the sheet module where Event code automatically runs from.
Copy and paste this code into the pane that opened on the right.
VBA Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
    
    Dim HowMany As Long
    Dim rng As Range
    
' check that only one cell changing at a time
If Target.CountLarge > 1 Then Exit Sub
' only concerned if C5 or C6
If Intersect(Target, Range("C5:C6")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub

' initially display 31 columns
Range("D11:AH11").EntireColumn.Hidden = False

' days in this particular month
HowMany = CInt(Range("C9").Text)
If HowMany = 31 Then Exit Sub
    
'end day will be in column HowMany plus 3
Set rng = Cells(11, HowMany + 3).Offset(, 1).Resize(, 31 - HowMany)
rng.EntireColumn.Hidden = True

End Sub

Save the workbook as an .xlsm file

Hope that helps, good luck with the project.
