Help me to first row matching First date and last row matching lastrow

[HammerJoe]

Hi,

Column D starting at row 3 contains Dates.
This is a dynamic table that grows everyday.

Because there will be thousand of rows I need to do some calculations
on only some of those rows.
In other words I have an initial date and a finish date. (format
2008/01/01)

First I am using "TotalBigListCount =
SheetSource.UsedRange.Rows.Count" to give the the last row containing
data

Next I have:
With SheetSource.Range("D" & StartRow, "D" & TotalBigListCount)
Set c = .Find(DateFromString, LookIn:=xlValues)
RowDateCount = c.Row

End With
This gives me the first row that will match the Initial Date
(DateFromString). Pretty simple.
Now I would like to do the same to find the last row in the table that
matches the DateToString (finish date).

Is there an easy way to get it or the only option is to use a do while
loop to go thru all the rows until it finds that last match?
Thanks

Might be easier to filter by date, but I don't know what you intend to do
after you identify the items so filtering might not fit your plan of attack.

Hi,

Thanks for the help.
I need to do it in VBA.
This code has to go thru thousands of rows to compare info.
So the idea is to shorten the search to narrow it to only the dates
specified with StringDateFrom and StringDateTo.

Check my post about this :

The code works but it's very slow.

Hi,

I think I found a problem.
It seems that Set c = .Find(DateFromString, LookIn:=xlValues) only
gives a result if there is a match.
Which is not what I want.
Is there a way for this line to return the closest match as well?

Cheers.
