Thread: Form ComboBox to Filter date range by Month

Hi, I need some help in order to code two comboboxes in my form. The form will be used by users to filter data.

The first combobox is a "From Date:" box and the other is a "To Date:" box. My data has a column with dates which change regularly. I'd like to be able to Filter by a range of months, for example, from Jan 2011 to Feb 2012 by only having a selection of months in the combobox e.g. Jan 2011, Feb 2011, Mar 2011 ...... Jan 2012, Feb 2012 etc. NOT the individual dates from the data.

Users only have to choos a "From" and "To" month and the result filter should then include all the dates from the 1st Jan 2011 to the 29th Feb 2012.

Keep in mind that the data changes reqularly, so I need to use variables and I suspect some cell / name references.

I have attached an example file. The "Menu" sheet has a button which launches a form with date selector ComboBoxes and the second sheet contains the data that I want to filter.

Thanks in advance.

To best describe or illustrate your problem you would be better off attaching a dummy workbook, the workbook should contain the same structure and some dummy data of the same type as the type you have in your real workbook - so, if a cell contains numbers & letters in this format abc-123 then that should be reflected in the dummy workbook. Don't upload a picture when you have a workbook question. None of us is inclined to recreate your data. Upload the workbook and manually add an 'after' situation so that we can see what you expect. In addition clearly explain how you get the results..
