Macro that deletes rows based on date and time
I've tried your code (edited slightly as like you said should have been C12 for Time), I've also included the line before as the code is removing the "#N/A" rows but for some reason isn't able to distinguish the dates and time still? Do you have any other suggestions?
lr = Cells(Rows.Count, "C").End(xlUp).Row 'find last row
For i = lr To 2 Step -1 'loop thru backwards, finish at 2 for headers
If Cells(i, "C").Text = "#N/A" Then Rows(i).EntireRow.Delete
Next i
lrU = Cells(Rows.Count, "U").End(xlUp).Row 'find last row
Date1 = Worksheets("Reference Sheet").Cells(16, 3).Value2
Time1 = Worksheets("Reference Sheet").Cells(12, 3).Value2
Date2 = Worksheets("Reference Sheet").Cells(15, 3).Value2
For i = lrU To 2 Step -1 'loop thru backwards, finish at 2 for headers
'column "U" is column21
If (((Cells(i, 21).Value < Date2) And (Cells(i, 22).Value < Time1)) Or _
((Cells(i, 21).Value > Date1) And (Cells(i, 22).Value > Time1))) Then
Rows(i).EntireRow.Delete
you say "date is after the date ... and after a certain time ..." so are you comparing DATE/DAY in once case and TIME in the other? If so you have to look at the whole number value for the DATE comparison and the fractional portion for the TIME.
basically what are the values in columns U & V and the values assigned to Date1, Date2, and Time1?
It would be much easier if you could attach the sheet or give a link to it (no confidential/private/personal info)
I've attached a file which basically has everything blanked out except for the date and time columns and then the reference sheet that is used - hope this is okay. Column U is a date, Column V is a time (they were a combined column but get split into date and time earlier in the macro) and so for Column U I want to delete dates that are before C15 on the reference page (used as Date 2) BUT only those that also have a time in Column V that is earlier than 6.20am (shown in C12 on the reference page and used as Time 1). And then I also want to delete any dates that are after C16 on the reference page or shown as Date 1, but only those that also have a time in Column V that is later than 6.20am (shown in C12 on the reference page and used as Time 1).
- so in your file the Date cells have #Ref! errors so I had to put in dates.
the file you attached also didn't have the macro so I cut and paste from your post above.
I also had to add end if and next i statements
but then it seemed to run fine.
The logic you are doing is odd to me but that is fine if it what you want/need.
What do you mean by "isn't able to distinguish the dates and time"? Does it give an error or the results aren't what you expect?I would imagine the logic order is off because I've combined 6 or 7 separate macros into one, and my coding skills are pretty basic.
Where have you added the end if and next i statements?
No error comes up, just nothing happens - as in it doesn't seem to recognise the dates that are before or after the dates in the macro need deleting so they remain
