I have two enormous lists of dates. How do I automatically compare them to ensure the date on one comes after the date on the other one?
They're formatted as dates. Christmas Day 2000 (UK) did say 25/12/2000, and then when I reformatted it it automatically changed to 25 Dec 2000, and so on.
My dates are sorting as per the image below.How do I get them to sort in chronological order (e.g. 01 January, 02 January etc)

This is an example of what is being worked on:
(There are 500+ more lines like the ones below, in groups of approximately 17 lines per page of information.)
* C.B.A. Bank - 2nd reference to branch near Mike's store. (21/03/1956)
* Berwick exams results. (06/06/1877)
* Berwick exams (09/05/1877)
* Steps taken for erection of Berwick. (11/07/1874)
* Berwick tenders for work at home. (11/07/1877)
* W. was a storekeeper at Berwick. (25/07/1881)
* Berwick Brass. (27/06/1877)
* Commercial erected for son. (27/06/1878)
I need to do the folowing to it:
(not necessarily in the following order)
- Insert into Excel
- Remove brackets
- Sort chronologically
- Copy back into program I am using again, in same chronological order.
The desired outcome is to be able to throw into Excel all the lines and press a button, (possibly the Sort Ascending one) and have a chronological list of all entries.

In Workbook1 I have a list of users with a leave start date in column N and a leave end date in column O.
In Workbook2 some of these of users appear with a payment start date in column C and a payment end date in column D.
I need to find out if the any or all of the payment period for these users in Workbook2 falls within the date ranges of their leave in Workbook1. If not, I need to ignore (or delete) the payment record in Workbook2 for that user.
Is this possible using VBA? Mind you, I'm stuck either way as I simply have no idea about how to approach this (possibly ... would first need to work out how to identify if the dates cross and then perform a lookup ...?)
I have two columns (G&H), one has expected date, and one has actual delivery date. The line amounts vary from 2500 to 8000, I need to calculate if column H is greater than column G for each line, if it is not then that line can be deleted.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have the following date formatted strings in two Excel cells "17/12/2009" & "19/12/2013".
Now I try to run the following code on these cells:
If Range("B" & i).Value < Range("B" & j).Value Then
But it does not seem to work, as the dates are compared incorrectly.
Any clue how to bring these dates in a VBA readable format?
I will need to sort the data based on some number entries being presented in Periods 1 ,2 ,3 in chronological order.. i.e. move the data of period 1 to the top , then period 2 and then period 3.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm currently working on a model that calculates the costs associated with various phases of a project. I want to allow the user to input the number of weeks that each phase requires as part of the calculations. The result will then be displayed horizontally in chronological order with the values associated with each phase underneath ex:
phase 1 phase 1 phase 1 phase 2 phase 2 phase 3 phase 3 phase 3
Through multiple lookups I've been able to get the data into this format:
phase 1 phase 1 phase 1
phase 2 phase 2
phase 3 phase 3 phase 3
What can I do to merge these series into one series that is in the order I desire (each phase will vary in length based on the user's input)?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI cant get this one off the ground. Normally I am pretty good to find bits and pieces of advice from other posts and put something together, but this one has me stuck from the get-go. I want to create several lists based upon the row(s) containing at least one set of criteria (day and time, contained in two differnt columns). Each row allows for up to 3 sets of days and times (i.e. columns B and C, columns D and E, and columns F and G) Each row is date and time stamped as to when the data was entered in that row (column H).
I want one list for each set of the various day/time combinations allowed in columns B thru G. The list should provide the name(s) contained in column A, in chronological order based on column H, when a criteria match is made in columns B:C, D:E, or F:G. This is far easier to understand with the attached sample. The lower section of the sample represents my desired output that I cannot seem to achieve.
My Process goes like this: We receive work in the excel sheet and in the column K(Period will be in YYYYMMDD)
First I want macros by which I can change YYYYMMDD TO MMDDYY.
then
It should compare column J and column K.
see the below example.
Period date (column K) Product end date (column L)
Column J column K
20131031 10/31/2013 = If column J & K dates are equal then "No action required"
20131031 7/31/2013 = If column J is higher then column K dates then "Action required"
20130930 11/2/2013 = If column J is lesser then column K dates then "No action required."
I need comments in column Q.
I've been trying for a few time to make a sub, on VBA, that writes, in a specific column, " " or 1 depending on the date that is inserted. The thing I can't quite do is:
1 - I have a sheet where the different projects of a company are stored (name, starting date, ending date and person responsible) and where new projects can be added from a UserForm
2 - I also have another sheet were costs from the projects are stored (one line with cost 1 from project 1, another with cost 2 also from project 1 and cost 3 from project 2, etc) and where I can also add a new cost with another UserForm (this cost as also a date that is added, to when it happened)
3 - What I need to do is, on the costs' sheet I need to create a sub that in the last column adds me 1 if the date of the cost added is not a date between the starting and ending date of the project that it corresponds.
Currently I am working on a Userform based Macro that reads date and time from user and compares it with the date and time present in a cell in excel sheet(in mm/dd/yy hh:mm format). If the date and time value entered in both places matches then it will fill green colour in the cell.
I tried to convert the date present in excel sheet into a string using Cstr but it is not working. I have attached the code below for your reference.
Dim lr As Long, i As Long
lr = Sheet5.Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
For i = 1 To lr
If Cells(i, "D") = "FIT" Then
If Left(Sheet5.Cells(i, 14), 1) = "M" Then

I am trying to set up a spreadsheet to track certification expiration dates and things of that nature at my volunteer fire department. At my career job, we use specialty software like Firehouse, but that is way too expensive so I must settle for Excel..or maybe Access.
Basically, I need a formula that will look at todays date and compare it to the date in a given cell and then somehow differentiate thise which are expiring at a given intercal.
For example, if someones EMT was expiring in 6 months it would turn yellow, then at 3 months turn blue, then red at 1 month then black if it expires.
It don't necessarily have to be just like that, just some way to differentiate depending on the how close to expiration it is.
I need to compare dates from two workbooks. The dates are not entered in the same format. In order to compare them I store them in Date variables.
However, some dates entered do not have a standard date format (for example, day is missing) and I get an error when I try to store them in a Date variable.
The solution I thought out (most likely a bad one) was to temporarily re-dim the variable from Date to String when an error occured. The macro would then be able to store the incomplete date and do the comparison.
So, basically, the variable would be dim'ed once as a Date, then possibly dim'ed a second time as a String, and if this occurs, then it would be dim'ed back to a Date once the erroneous date would have been treated as a String.
My problem is that it doesn't appear to work if I use the dim statement because of "duplicate declaration in current scope". Is there a way to re-dim a variable as something else within the same macro?
Battling through a problem, but would like to get some feedback on some failing code.
basicly created a bunch of macros to get 2 columns. One has last months dates, and the other has the new ones.
I want it to check if the date in columnH is greater then columnJ then update (i have vlookups to get this info with offsets). You see if there is no result on columnH it means it does not add a date.
heres the code that i have. The error is that i am using an invalid statement in the case ( i suspect the >=)
I need to create a report on each friday as well as on every last workday of a month. I have to display both weekly and monthly data on the same graphs and I always arranged the week ends and month ends myself, but this is taking a lot of time.
So I need a chronological list of of week numbers and month names based on the date of Friday of a week or last workday of a month.
Input:
A1 - either month name ("MMM", Jul, Aug, Sep) or week number (1-52)
A2 - year number (2014)
Output:
For example, for 30 in A1 and 2014 in A2 it should look like this:
BD
BE
BF
BG
BH
BI
BJ
BK
BL
BM
1
May
23
24
25
26
Jun
27
28
29
30
And this should strech back all the way back to B1 in which I need to have 31.
Note if a month ends on last workday of a month the week number should come first and month name second.
I have 2 columns directly next to each other each containing dates.
Example 1:
F2 = 5/23/13
G2 = 5/23/14
Example 2:
F3 = 6/6/13
G3 = 4/11/14
I wanted to do a conditional formatting that would highlight the cell in
column G if the Month/Day doesn't match the Month/Day in column F
Is there a way to do this with Excel only looking at the Day/Month and ignoring the year??
I have several old spreadsheets that contain patient information. Except for names, dates of birth, and dates of surgery there is nothing consistent about them. Not only that, the old spreadsheets were in various stages of compiliation and recompilation when they were abandoned. So now there are multiple duplications of old names added to lists of new names spread across multiple spreadsheets. I have to identify names that are not already in my database and add them.
I have a formula that I found on the internet that I can use to check if a patient’s last name in an old spreadsheet is one that already appears in my main database. In my attached example the formula looks like this:
I am fitting 2 sets of data to match eachother. I want to have as much data as possible but only for the same dates of each dataset.
I have 4 coloumns.
Dataset 1: A is date B is data
Dataset 2: C is date D is data
I want to compare A vs B one row at a time. If they are not similar it should delete and shift up the values in A+B or C+D according to the lowest value (date) of A vs B.
Remember that if the macro just deleted and shifted up it should compare the same (undeleted) value against the new value that just shifted up in the other coloumn.
I have a column of dates (B2:B1500) that I want to compare to a single date (A1).
If the dates in Column B are older than the date in A1 I want to delete the entire row.
I'm using Excel 2003.
I have a Userform where you can enter a date and select a comparison operator from a combo box. Any one of these (= < <= > >= <>)
In VBA I then load a range into a dictionary object and then loop thru it to compare the dates in the dictionary to the date selected in the userform but I can't get the dates to compare correctly. I think it has something to do with the Evaluate function comparing the dates as strings but I'm not really sure.
VB:
For Each strKey In dictValid.Keys()
If Not Evaluate(CDate(dictValid(strKey)) & cboDteOperator.Value & CDate(txtDteSel.Value)) Then
I have a spreadsheet that captures task start and end dates similar to project. It currently calculates Networkdays correctly, so if you have:
1. 1/1/06 - 1/31/06 (22 Days)
2. 1/1/06 - 12/1/05 (- 22 Days - showing dates have been entered incorrectly.)
3. 1/1/06 - No End Date (-27655)
=IF(ISERROR(NETWORKDAYS(E23,F23)),"NA",NETWORKDAYS(E23,F23))
My concern is with #3, is there a way to instruct the formula that if columna and columb are not filled in,the result should be blank. Previously I had it where it indicated NA - but the problem with this is - while it appears fine in Excel, when I pull it into Access to report on I get the -27655. This is throwing my reporting off.
I am trying to do a macro that looks to see if the date is different from one cell to another going down in rows. I got it to work until the cell is empty then it says the date dont match but I just want it to stop the loop. so it should go down a list check to see if the date is the same all the way down the list, stopping if cell is blank, if not give a message box, if it is the same stop.
Is As follows
Dim rowNum As Integer, colNum As Integer, currCell As Range
rowNum = ActiveCell.Row
colNum = ActiveCell.Column
rowNum = rowNum + 1
'get first cell
Set currCell = ActiveSheet.Cells(2, 3)
'loop while cell not empty
Do Until currCell.Value = " "
If currCell.Value = ActiveSheet.Cells(2, 3) Then
If currCell.Value = "" Then
End If
I have built a macro that tests to see if a date in a range is before the Period Start Date, and if it is, then the labor rate in that same row (3 Columns Over) should be escalated by the appropriate AWI. My code below works, but I am wondering if there is a better way than using offset(0,3) to prevent a code breakdown if columns are inserted between the Date and Rate columns. The date range is names "DATES" and the rate column in names "RATES"
Sub CountTheCells()
Dim cell As Excel.Range
Dim i As Integer
For Each cell In Sheet2.Range("DATES")
If cell.Value < Sheet2.Range("POPS") Then
i = i + 1
End If
Next
MsgBox ("You have " & i & " Rates that will be escalated b4 the POP Begins")
yesno = MsgBox("Would you like to Escalate the Dates and Rates?", vbYesNo)
If yesno = vbNo Then
MsgBox ("Not Done")
Else..........................
I need to compare three cells of random dates shown in Column E, F,& G with Row's H5:AK5, H7:AK7, H9:AK7 (the Dates to these rows is Static on row H3:AK3.) EX: ROW 5 has Start Date, End Date (1) and End Date (2). Compare Cell H3 between Start Date & End Date (1). If H3 falls between or equal to Start and End Date(1) then highlight cell H5. Proceed till AK3 (higlighting only the cells H5:AK5). Then compare cell H3 between or equal to End Date (1) and End Date (2) (higlighting only the cells H5:AK5). Then do the same for ROW 7 and ROW 9.
To make things a bit more difficult I need to have " WK#" in Row 14 (these WK# is on another tab called "Task" of the workbook) needs to be displayed in Row's H4:AK4, H6:AK6, & H8:AK8. EX: Compare Date in D15 between or equal to Start Date & End Date (1) then display Wk# in D14 in H4. Continue till all dates in
D15:Z15 are compared to Start Date & End Date (1) and WK#'s in Row D14:Z14 are inputted if applicable in Row H4:AK4, H6:AK6, H8:AK8. I hope this is not confusing. I can't seem to use the upload option so here is alink to download a jpg of the sheet
