Excel Facts

Select all contiguous cells
Pressing Ctrl+* (asterisk) will select the "current region" - all contiguous cells in all directions.
8 people have looked at this in the last little bit of time but no suggestions HHEEEEEELLLLPPPP!!!!!!!!!!

Your question has been up for less than half an hour, people are less inclined to help if you keep bleating on.

If your dates are in column A, then try this code inserted into a module in the VBA editor: -

Public Sub SavebyHighestDate()

Dim rng As Range
Dim myDate As String
Dim myPath As String

myPath = "C:My Documents"
Set rng = Sheet1.Range("A:A")

myDate = Format(WorksheetFunction.Max(rng), "dd-mm-yy")
MsgBox Format(myDate, "dd-mm-yy")
ThisWorkbook.SaveAs myPath & myDate

End Sub

Change the path, sheet no and column range to suit.
