I have below data, I want to store Date Columns(B) to Dictionary using Dateserial.
Hi, @Mallesh23
Why do you want to store the date in Dictionary using Dateserial?
Do you mean you want to display the result in col I as "yyyy-mm-dd"? if yes then you can do it manually by changing the cell format as needed via menu Format cell.

Try this with dictionary and also choose the maxium date.

VBA Code:
Sub checkDate()

Dim d As Object
Dim arr As Variant, k As Variant, t As Variant
Dim i As Long
Dim sKey As String

With ActiveSheet
