    Need to verify Bad Dates & Empty values & '0' Values in different columns

    I appreciate anyone's help on my issue.

    I have excel sheet where i would like to find the following:

    1) bad dates (should not be less than 1900 and not greater than current date) in columns that contains date values
    2) finding the empty cells in an column that contains data like amount e.t.c
    3) finding the cells which contains '0' values in the column.

    I have multiple excel sheets to work on where i need to run all the above queries in each sheet.

    Hi and welcome to the forum

    to begin with, ALL of your data is text, even those that look like dates. You 1st need to remove all the ^'s do this using Find/Replace. Find ^ replace with nothing.

    Now you have data to work with. What do you want done if the criteria you set are found? (a date cannot be before 1/1/1900 anyway)
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you

    You would use Conditional Formatting for this.

    1. highlight the range you want to apply the conditional formatting to
    2. on the home tab, styles, select CF
    3. select new rule, select use formula
    4. enter =$C2>TODAY()

    5. select new rule, select format cells that contain
    6. select Blanks

    I amd confused by this one...
    2) finding the empty cells in an column that contains data like amount e.t.c
    empty cells dont contain anything - what exactly is the criteria here?


    =$A$2:$H$11
