Excel VBA Highlighting dates in a range which match a date from an inputbox

[bjason]

I would like to set up a macro which highlights dates that match the date from an input box. This is the code I have tried so far:

'Highlight Dates Riding the Data Date
Dim answer As Variant
answer = InputBox("What is the data date?", "Help me, help you")

For Each Cel In Range(Cells(2, 5), Cells(r, 5))
If Cel = answer Then Cel.Style = "Bad"
Next

Thanks in advance for any help or advice.

Here is one way :



Option Explicit


Sub FindAll()


'PURPOSE: Find all cells containing a specified values
'SOURCE: www.TheSpreadsheetGuru.com


Dim fnd As String, FirstFound As String
Dim FoundCell As Range, rng As Range
Dim myRange As Range, LastCell As Range
Dim TextBox1 As TextBox


'What value do you want to find (must be in string form)?
fnd = Sheets("Sheet1").TextBox1.Value '<--- specify which sheet here


Set myRange = ActiveSheet.UsedRange
Set LastCell = myRange.Cells(myRange.Cells.Count)
Set FoundCell = myRange.Find(what:=fnd, after:=LastCell)


'Test to see if anything was found
If Not FoundCell Is Nothing Then
FirstFound = FoundCell.Address
Else
GoTo NothingFound
End If


Set rng = FoundCell


'Loop until cycled through all unique finds
Do Until FoundCell Is Nothing
'Find next cell with fnd value
Set FoundCell = myRange.FindNext(after:=FoundCell)

'Add found cell to rng range variable
Set rng = Union(rng, FoundCell)

'Test to see if cycled through to first found cell
If FoundCell.Address = FirstFound Then Exit Do

Loop


'Select Cells Containing Find Value
rng.Select

Exit Sub


'Error Handler
NothingFound:
MsgBox "No values were found in this worksheet"


End Sub


Sub HighlightFindValues()


'PURPOSE: Highlight all cells containing a specified values
'SOURCE: www.TheSpreadsheetGuru.com


Dim fnd As String, FirstFound As String
Dim FoundCell As Range, rng As Range
Dim myRange As Range, LastCell As Range
Dim TextBox1 As TextBox


'What value do you want to find (must be in string form)?
fnd = Sheets("Sheet1").TextBox1.Value


Set myRange = ActiveSheet.UsedRange
Set LastCell = myRange.Cells(myRange.Cells.Count)
Set FoundCell = myRange.Find(what:=fnd, after:=LastCell)


'Test to see if anything was found
If Not FoundCell Is Nothing Then
FirstFound = FoundCell.Address
Else
GoTo NothingFound
End If


Set rng = FoundCell


'Loop until cycled through all unique finds
Do Until FoundCell Is Nothing
'Find next cell with fnd value
Set FoundCell = myRange.FindNext(after:=FoundCell)

'Add found cell to rng range variable
Set rng = Union(rng, FoundCell)

'Test to see if cycled through to first found cell
If FoundCell.Address = FirstFound Then Exit Do

Loop


'Highlight Found cells yellow
rng.Interior.Color = RGB(255, 255, 0)

Exit Sub


'Error Handler
NothingFound:
MsgBox "No values were found in this worksheet"


End Sub
