Finding a date & Selection.End(xlDown)
I have two hopefully easy questions: 1. I want to get a macro to find tomorrow's date in my spreadsheet. I've tried Cells.Find(What:=(FormatDateTime(Date + 1, vbShortDate))).Activate but this returns RTE91. However, after running, it has populated the Find field with the correct date. Please let me know where I've gone wrong. 2. I want to select a range of data (which grows over time) that is 1 column but there are always 3 blank rows in it. I tried the following: Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select which is what's recorded when I take the actions. However, the procedure effectively only runs the first line and then doesn't extend the selection further. Once corrected, I will loop the same line 4 times. I'm using Excel 2003. Many thanks for your help.

Finding a date & Selection.End(xlDown)
Try to use this method:
Sub tomorrow() On Error GoTo Nohit Cells.Find(What:=Date + 1).Activate On Error GoTo 0 Exit Sub Nohit: 'Take measures if not found! MsgBox "tomorrow's date not found" End Sub Regards, Stefi €˛Clivey_UK€¯ ezt Ć*rta: I have two hopefully easy questions: 1. I want to get a macro to find tomorrow's date in my spreadsheet.

Stefi, 1. Many thanks. Your Tomorrow Sub worked a treat and I see where I was going wrong now. Also handy to have the On Error code. 2. Here's an example. If I have from A1 to A13 the following: Column A Row 1: Data Row 2: Row 3: Data Row 4: Data Row 5: Data Row 6: Data Row 7: Data Row 8: Row 9: Row 10: Data Row 11: Row 12: Row 13: Data Starting at A1, I want to do the equivalent of Ctrl Shift Down-Arrow four times which selects in the example above A1:A13. Over time the 2nd section of data (currently A3:A7) will grow in height so I can't always select A1:A13. There may sometimes be data below A13 (separated by more blanks) and I don't want that in the selection. Hope that makes it clearer. :) Clive Stefi Wrote: Try to use this method: Sub tomorrow() On Error GoTo Nohit Cells.Find(What:=Date + 1).Activate On Error GoTo 0 Exit Sub Nohit: 'Take measures if not found!

Finding a date & Selection.End(xlDown)
Many thanks Tom & Ardus. That was extremely helpful and I now know a new way to select data. One problem I have in this particular case is that in some cases there is data below the range I want to select (separated by blanks) and so I don't always won't to go to the bottom cell in that column. I just need the macro equivalent of Ctrl-Shift-DownArrow 4 times from row1. Any ideas? Thanks again.
