to do it. Can anyone tell me why I get object variable not set error?
Thanks

I corrected my spelling mistakes and I am still getting the object variable
or with block variable not set error. What am I doing wrong? The debugger
goes to this point in the code after the error.

Set strg = Intersect(rowtrgname, srcDate.Find( _
sdate, srcDate.Cells(1), _
xlValues).EntireColumn)
Set etrg = Intersect(rowtrgname, srcDate.Find( _
edate, srcDate.Cells(1), _
xlValues).EntireColumn)

You have multiple errors in your code:

For Each cell In lvrng
req = cell.Value

You have commented out ct, so its default value is zero. Therefore, if you
uncomment


'Worksheets("sheet2").Cells(ct, 1).Value = name
'Worksheets("sheet2").Cells(ct, 2).Value = req
'Worksheets("sheet2").Cells(ct, 3).Value = sdate
'Worksheets("sheet2").Cells(ct, 4).Value = edate


then make sure you uncomment the statements that set a value for ct

You may have more errors; I didn't note any.

Here is my code again with a few modifications and comments to explain what
I'm trying to do. I can't figure out why my code is not setting the

Find has a hard time finding dates sometimes (in my experience); especially
if you don't manage the options in Find. So you need to see if the find was
successful and then possibly use Match to see if you can find the date.
Dim sStr as String


Set coltrgsdate = srcDate.Find(sDate)
If coltrgsdate Is Nothing Then
sStr = Format(sDate, "mm/dd/yyyy")
res = Application.Match(CLng(CDate(sStr)), srcDate, 0)
If Not IsError(res) Then
Set coltrgsdate = srcDate(1, res).EntireColumn
Else
MsgBox sStr & " , the start date not found, quitting"
Exit Sub
End If
Else
Set coltrgsdate = coltrgsdate.EntireColumn
End If

Set coltrgedate = srcDate.Find(eDate)
If coltrgedate Is Nothing Then
sStr = Format(eDate, "mm/dd/yyyy")
res = Application.Match(CLng(CDate(sStr)), srcDate, 0)
If Not IsError(res) Then
Set coltrgedate = srcDate(1, res).EntireColumn
Else
MsgBox sStr & " , the end date not found, quitting"
Exit Sub
End If
Else
Set coltrgedate = coltrgedate.EntireColumn
End If

Of course, if Find is failing, then you should get an error on
Set coltrgsdate = srcDate.Find(sDate).entirecolumn

since you Nothing doesn't have an entirecolumn
