Karen281910 The first step you need to take is to make sure Excel recognizes each date as a true date. Any "date" that is left-aligned, isn't recognized as a date by Excel. Currently only about 290 of the almost 1600 cells in the Date columns contain a valid date.
If your data would have been structured like this:
it would have been far, far easier to setup a page on which you can simply select a period to see all activity in that period. Or to just filter the above table on the (single!) date column and on the Building column for example.
