The question is nearly 4 years old and has an accepted answer. You don't know what the column name is nor are 'date1' and 'date2' valid dates and there is another bug in the code you have presented. Solution 1 already stated "Or any other filer criteria" and the OP accepted that Solution. So there really was no need at all to re-open this question!
