Add "go to next" if error encountered

Hi, I have the following code that colors a cell different colors based on the date compared to today in Column F. (red if it is in the past, yellow if it is today, etc.)

Recently had an issue with blanks and the value "NULL" in that field that cause the macro to crash. Need to modify this so that if it detects an error condition, it just goes to the next row instead of crashing.

Thanks in advance,

I've added on error statement...

and a "ContinueNext" label that should handle the error

Note : the "On Error GoTo 0" statement clears out the prior error.

Dim C As Variant
Dim CI As Integer

    Set Wks = Worksheets("TEST1")
    LastRow = Wks.Cells(Rows.Count, Col).End(xlUp).Row
    LastRow = IIf(LastRow < FirstRow, FirstRow, LastRow)
    
    Set rng = Wks.Range(Cells(FirstRow, Col), Cells(LastRow, Col))
        targetDate = Now()
    For Each C In rng
        monOffset = 0
        
        On Error GoTo ContinueNext
        
        Select Case Int(targetDate) - C
        Case Is > 0
            CI = 3   'Red

Hi Ken,

Thanks for the reply,

I replaced 2 of the dates with the word NULL and it still errors out here:

   Select Case Int(targetDate) - C

Any ideas?

Thanks,
The "On Error GoTo ContinueNext" should have caught that.


Can you post the modified code you used?

I want to confirm the placement of "On Error Goto ContinueNext".

    Set rng = Wks.Range(Cells(FirstRow, Col), Cells(LastRow, Col))
        targetDate = Now()
    For Each C In rng
        monOffset = 0
       
        On Error GoTo ContinueNext
       
        Select Case Int(targetDate) - C
        Case Is > 0
            CI = 3   'Red
        Case Is = 0
