VBA Input Boxes

Hello,

I have the following code which starts with an input box that asks you to enter a period (which happens to be 4 digits long).

If this is not in the list "Items" then it will ask you for it again. If this is entered correctly then it will take you to a 2nd input box which asks you for a date in the format "yyyy-mm-dd". How would I put code, say Items2 which linked to a spreadsheet and if it was 1710 and the date 2017-08-20 was in a column B as below, then proceed, but if I entered 2017-08-23 following an entry of 1710, it would ask you for another date?

I hope the above is clear. Many thanks in advance.

1710 2017-08-20
1710 2017-08-21
1710 2017-08-22
1711 2017-08-23


Code:
Sub Clean_Data()


Dim myValue As Variant
Dim myValue2 As Variant
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Dim FP As String, FN As String
Dim Found As Boolean
Dim z As Byte
Dim Items() As String


Items = Split("1710,1711,1712,1713,1801,1802,1803,1804,1805,1806,1807,1808,1809,1810,1811,1812,1813,1901,1902,1903,1904,1905,1906,1907,1908,1909,1910,1911,1912,1913,2001,2002,2003,2004,2005,2006,2007,2008,2009,2010,2011,2012,2013,2101,2102,2103,2104,2105,2106,2107,2108,2109,2110,2111,2112,2113", ",")


Found = False
Do
myValue = InputBox("Enter the period, e.g. 1804")


    If StrPtr(myValue) = 0 Then Exit Sub
    For z = LBound(Items) To UBound(Items)
        If myValue = Items(z) Then Found = True
    Next
Loop While Not Found


Dim NoFile As Boolean
NoFiles = False


If myValue = "" Then


Exit Sub


Else


myValue2 = InputBox("Enter the date you wish to clean the data in format yyyy-mm-dd e.g. 2017-06-28")


If myValue2 = "" Then


Exit Sub


Else
