Instead of looking at each cell in the range you could use the find function
to locate all of your cells that start with date. That will speed things up.
From your code it is hard to see exactly what you are intending to do.
Perhaps a quick descritions would help...

I am trying to do a Find and Replace in Range("A5:AK1757") and I have the
following code to do it but it is just taking too long, more than 30 minutes.
IS there a better way to do this faster?
Thanks

For Each progresshdr In rngProgresshdr.Cells
proPos = InStr(1, progresshdr.Address(ColumnAbsolute:=False), "$",
vbTextCompare)
progresslastColumn = Left(progresshdr.Address(ColumnAbsolute:=False),
proPos - 1)

If Right(progresshdr.Value, 4) = "Date" Then
ActiveSheet.Range(progresslastColumn & "5:" & progresslastColumn &
progresslastRow).Select
For Each c In Selection
If c.Value <= Date And c.Offset(0, 1).Value = "Projected" Then
c.Offset(0, 1).Value = "Past Due"
End If
Next
End If
Next progresshdr
