    Search (filter search) a date value

    Hi all,
    I have a column data with date format. When I filter this column and want to use 'search' in filter function, I cannot search a specific date e.g. 12/09/2018.
    What I can search is a part of date: either day (12), either month (09) or either year (2018).
    Any way that can help me to search a specific date (12/09/2018) in excel filter function? Thank you.

    Hi

    I suppose you should create new columns with day(date) and month(date).

    Hey Navafolk,

    You can do it with the help of VBA.

    Thank you Jose, That will take me 3 times of search in 3 columns, too much time consuming. Is there any efficient way, find in one search?

    Hi

    I suppose there is no other way to solve your problem.

    See that the dates are integer values (when used only as a date and not as a date and time).

    The 22-10-2018 corresponds to the number 43395 and as September and 30 days the 22nd of the previous month will correspond to the number 43365 and 22-08-2018 corresponds to 43334.

    Since there is no uniform relation, for example from thirty to thirty days, day 22 happens, and since it is not possible to use functions in the filter itself, it does not seem possible to do it in any other way.
