Hide rows based on today’s date with the Filter function

With the Filter function in Excel, you can easily filter out all needed rows and hide all unwanted rows based on today’s date.

1. In the table, please click the drop-down button on the Date column, and then click Date Filters > Before or After. See screenshot:

Notes:

1). If there has no drop-down button existing at the top of your date column, please enable the Filter by clicking Data > Filter.
2). For hiding all rows before today’s date, please select the After option. Otherwise, choose the Before option. Here I need to hide all rows before today’s date and keep all rows after today’s date, so I select the After option.

2. In the Custom AutoFilter dialog box, click the Date Picker button next to the is after box, and then click the Today button in the calendar. And then click the OK button.

Then all rows before today’s date are hidden immediately.


Hide rows based on today’s date with VBA code

1. Press Alt + F11 keys simultaneously to open the Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications window.

2. In the Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications window, please click Insert > Module. Then copy and paste the following VBA code into the window.

    On Error Resume Next
    If ActiveWindow.RangeSelection.Count > 1 Then
      xTxt = ActiveWindow.RangeSelection.AddressLocal
    Else
      xTxt = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.AddressLocal
    End If
    Set xRg = Application.InputBox("Please select range:", "Kutools for Excel", xTxt, , , , , 8)
    If xRg Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    For Each xCell In xRg

        End If
    Next
End Sub
