EXCEL: Custom Filter Macro

Hey all,

I have a custom filter that does:

Greater than or equal too: (date here)

AND

Less than or equal too: (another date)

I recorded the macro, but I want to put the two dates from a cell

this is all wrong, but maybe you can see where I'm going with this:

Sub CustomFilter()
'
' CustomFilter Macro
'
' Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+j
'
Selection.AutoFilter Field:=4, Criteria1:=">=(Range("H3").Value)", Operator:=xlAnd _
, Criteria2:="<=(Range("J3").Value)"
End Sub

Should be simple... Any help, please?

 

First thing, your syntax is off.

Selection.AutoFilter Field:=4, Criteria1:=">=" & Range("H3"), _
Operator:=xlAnd, Criteria2:="<=" & Range("J3")

That works for me if Field4 (column D?) and H3/J3 are plain numbers.

Of course, in Excel dates are plain numbers. So possibly the second thing is are you outside the US. Manipulating dates in VBA can be troublesome because Excel tends to think dates in US format.

Where are you going with this? Presumably a macro to filter by dates can't be all you're aiming for.
