Is there a way that I can put a date in a cell, add 1 year and have the row
deleted automatically? We do background checks on people, add them to a list
but these checks are only good for one year. This would eliminate having to
go into the sheet and deleting the ones that are 1 year old.

Thanks.

Hi,
Let's say you have the date in column A in column B you add 365 days with

=A2+365

In column C you enter the formula as follow

=+IF(B2=TODAY(),"Y","N") If today's day is the same as in column B it will
enter "Y"

Then have a buttom to run a macro that will delete all the rows where column
C = "Y" as follow

Sub delete_Me()
Dim copyrange As Range
Lastrow = Cells(Cells.Rows.Count, "C").End(xlUp).Row
Set MyRange = Range("C1:C" & Lastrow)
For Each c In MyRange
If InStr(c, "Y") Then
If copyrange Is Nothing Then
Set copyrange = c.EntireRow
Else
Set copyrange = Union(copyrange, c.EntireRow)
End If
End If
Next
If Not copyrange Is Nothing Then
copyrange.Delete
End If
End Sub

Hope this help

Formulas cannot delete things.

You would need VBA to delete rows where the date was more than 1 year old.

This event code will delete those dates whenever the workbook is opened.

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Sheets("Sheet1").Activate 'adjust sheetname
Dim RowNdx As Long
Dim LastRow As Long
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
LastRow = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count
For RowNdx = LastRow To 1 Step -1
If Cells(RowNdx, "A").Value < Date - 365 Then 'adjust column
Rows(RowNdx).Delete
End If
Next RowNdx
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
