Hi @ritviks95 + @MedYosri + @chemichemi I have written a tutorial and recorded a Youtube screencast describing how to use this code to copy data based on dates here and here:
https://danwagner.co/how-to-copy-data-to-a-new-workbook-based-on-dates/
https://danwagner.co/how-to-copy-data-based-on-dates-part-1-a-new-worksheet/
Please ask me any questions by email (included in the tutorials) or via YouTube comments as I do not check gists here. Thanks! -Dan
