It simply finds the last date and formats it so the autofilter will
understand it.

Please explain the sub so we can understand how does it work.

OK...so I hope I can explain this correctly

I need macro code that will auto filter by most recent date(not
neccesarily
todays date).

The dates are all input in column A (oldest to newest). Basically the
code
needs to be able to open the auto filter for column a and pick the date
at
the bottom of the list (since the dates are arranged oldest to newest
the
most recent date is at the bottom of the auto filter list.)

Does this make sense to any one besides me?



I recorded a macro where I manually opened the auto filter and chose
the
most recent date in column A:

ActiveSheet.Range("$A$1:$K$168").AutoFilter Field:=1, Operator:= _
xlFilterValues, Criteria2:=Array(2, "6/3/2010")

So this code will only filter on 6-3-2010. but as I continue to add
more
dates to the database (as time goes on) I need the macro to filter by
the
most recent date

is this possible?
