Hi, I'm trying to create a macro that looks up specific rows in excel for a
given MM/YY. I would like to create a message box in which the user could
scroll through a list and select the appropriate MM/YY and then the macro
would target only those rows that are relevant to the given date.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

This would need to be done with a userform
