    Macro that converts today()+3 in to text on 2 columns

    Hi all,

    I had a perfectly working macro for 1 column which when the work sheet is saved, the macro converts any formulas on a column that has today()+3 in, into a text, so when it saves, the date remains static.

    I now need this macro to do the same job within 2 columns, however, it fails to pick up on the second column. This is my macro so far:

    Any help would be greatly appreciated it.

    The original macro that works perfectly on 1 column is:

    The code looks fine - is it throwing up any errors? Have you tried putting a debug in and stepping through it (perhaps with smaller ranges).

    It's throwing no errors up unfortunately. The weird thing what's happening, is that only DateRng2 is working, it appears to ignore the first for loop which I require for the L column..but then moves onto the second for loop and works fine!

    Does the ranges ("B5:B36665") and ("L5:L36665") contains date?

    Not all of them. If a user fills out A1, then B1 is filled with a today(). If a user fills out K1, then L1 is filled in with today()+3, so that macros intention is to convert the formula into text so the date is static. It does this correctly, how ever it's ignoring the first for loop.

    After you've set DateRng just stick in a line:

    And make sure it has the correct range in there (although I can't see any reason why it shouldn't)

    If that's OK change the line to:

    Which should return 36,661.

    Out of interest, you've said that not all of the cells contain a date - what's in the cells that don't contain one? Is there any reason you couldn't just use a PasteSpecial for the whole range at once, it would be much, much faster than looping through every cell.

    I don't see a problem with the code, and I tested it my own test workbook and it worked fine. After that test, I modified it to be much simpler (probably faster too). You may want to try this version to see if it works better for you:
