Default Goto Cell With Today's Or Other Date

In a worksheet with a long list of dates (all in one column), how to go to
the cell containing a specific date?
a) today's date (using TODAY() reference?)
b) another, specified date

Default Goto Cell With Today's Or Other Date

YOu should be more specific on what you need. So this is what I suggest
1) use autofilter (Data/Filter/Autofilter) and pick the specific data or
pick form custom and specify which date/dates you want
2) Use advanced filter (move your list a few rows down, put the same heading
on the top of your list, leave a few rows blank and type the dates you need
to filter out) - Data/Filter/Advanced filter (list a range - your list,
criteria - your criteria on the top )
3) Create the colum with the specific formula for dates, and then filter it
out (for example =today() - but this formula changes every day

Click yes if I helped

Default Goto Cell With Today's Or Other Date

Hi, Eva, thanx for your reply.

What I'm trying to do is:

locate and goto a specific cell;

let's say I'm working in a part of my worksheet where the date cell in that
row is 11/20/07: without having to do a massive scroll or "Page Up" or "Page
Down", I want to jump directly to the cell containing today's date (whenever
today is), or 12/31/09, say, without knowing the exact cell address of that
date;

e.g., find and goto the cell where the value is TODAY()

Note: any particular date appears only once in the worksheet

Thanx.
