Default consolidate data that occurs close together in time

I have about 7 columns of data. The second one has about 150 different types
of components, about 2000 entries in all. the third column is the start date
im looking for, the fourth is the start time. Fifth is the end date, Sixth
is the end time. I am looking for a macro to go through each component,
check the next component to see if its the same one, if it is, check the end
date/time of the first one, and if it is within one day of the start time of
the next entry, combine the two entries and delete the old ones. What I have
so far is (This is kinda long, I apologize)
Sub Compare_Dates()
Dim CompRange As Range, CopyRange As Range
Dim There As Boolean, This As Boolean
Dim days As Date
Dim Hours As Double
There = False
LastRow1 = Sheets("Sheet1").Cells(Cells.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
Set CompRange = Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A2:A" & LastRow1)
For Each c In CompRange
If c.Value = c.Offset(1, 0).Value Then
There = True
End If
If There Then
days = c.Offset(0, 4).Value - c.Offset(1, 2).Value
Hours = c.Offset(0, 5).Value - c.Offset(1, 3).Value
If days + Hours <= 1 Then
c.Offset(1, 2) = c.Offset(0, 2).Value
c.Offset(1, 3) = c.Offset(0, 5).Value
'Need to check the date of c.offset(0,4) with c.offset(1,2)
'If they are within x days of each other
'c.offset(1,2).value=c.offset(0,2).value
Else
There = False
If There Then
If CopyRange Is Nothing Then
Set CopyRange = c.Offset(1, 0).EntireRow
Else
Set CopyRange = Union(CopyRange, c.Offset(1, 0).EntireRow)
End If
End If
'This If loop checks if the CopyRange currently has any rows
'If not, it places c in it
End If
End If

There = False
Next
If Not CopyRange Is Nothing Then
CopyRange.Delete
End If


End Sub

I think the only problem is comparing the dates, Other than that I feel like
it should work. Any help with this macro, or any ideas for a different macro
would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance, sorry for the long post!!
