sigh ... two more problems and then I promise to go away ...


i want to move to the first row in the resulting list, just like arrow
down would do, but the offset only moves me to row 2 instead of the
beginning of the filtered list .. and I don't see how to toggle the
autofilter off ...

or

ActiveSheet.Range("A1").AutoFilter _
field:=1, _
Criteria1:="<" & year_start

' VisibleDropDown:=False

.. .
what about toggling autofilter on and off, ala

Dim year_start As Date
year_start = DateValue("1/1/" & Year(Date))

ActiveSheet.Range("A1").AutoFilter _
field:=1, _
Criteria1:="year_start"
' VisibleDropDown:=False


my current problem is getting the criteria to be `less than'
year_start instead of just equal to year_start.

(and any insight you might have in toggling off the autofilter would
be good too ... ) thanks.

there isn't any magic way to know the date contained in the cell.

You could use a dummy column with a formula

=if(Year(a1)<Year("a2"),na(),"")

copy this down your dummy column. This marks the first date in each new
year.

then
set rng = Columns(4).SpecialCells(xlFormulas,xlErrorvalues)
