Answer 1

I've found CDate to misbehave from time to time. This code appears to convert your date to a string first, not the numeric representation of the date. That conversion happens after you find the string. Since you mentioned it skips the first cell then the first date containing that string is 11/1/16.

debug.print cdate("01/01/16")
1/1/16

Set foundRange = Rows(1).Find(CDate(#1/1/2016#))
Debug.Print foundRange.Value2
