I've had real good luck here so I'll try one more.

H12 to H403 contain dates. I would like to have a command button bring me to the current date. :sumo:


I started by recording a macro to get me some of the code. But I'm not having much luck.

Thanks

Jeff

Try the following. If you need to refine it only to the listed cells, let me know.

Sub FindDate()
MyDate = Int(Now())
Cells.Find(What:=MyDate, After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, _
LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False).Activate
End Sub

Hi Jeff,

I guess you could arrange to record something which would work but it might be a bit convoluted. You could record something which you could quite easily edit to work. But probably the simplest way is not recordable ..


Sub GoToToday()
Range("H12:H403").Find(Date).Select
End Sub

To attach it to a button use ..

Tools > Customize... > Commands tab
Under Categories, select Macros
Drag Custom Button to where you want it on your toolbar
Right click on it and select Assign Macro - and assign your new macro (above)
Right click again (as often as you want) to change other properties of the button

Hi,

I would only add one thing to Tony's code in case of error ...



Option Explicit
Sub GoToToday()
Dim rngDate As Range
Set rngDate = Range("H12:H403").Find(Date)
If Not rngDate Is Nothing Then rngDate.Select
End Sub
