Sub Macro9()
    Range("Table57[Weld Done]").Select
    Selection.Replace What:="0/1/1900", Replacement:="", LookAt:=xlPart, _
      SearchOrder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False, _
      ReplaceFormat:=True, FormulaVersion:=xlReplaceFormula2
    Range("Table57[[#Headers],[Weld Done]]").Select
End Sub

I used the Replace function to replace default date 0/1/1900 with "blank" & it worked. So I recorded the workflow using VBA macro recording function & it gives coding as above.

When I try to use the macro, the value remains as default date 0/1/1900.

Replace default date 0/1/1900 with "blank"

Just change "0/1/1900" to 0 will do.

  • `"0/1/1900"` **is** `0`. The value zero will show as `"0/1/1900"` if formatted as date. – Pᴇʜ Apr 19 '22 at 07:18

The issue is that the number 0 formatted as date is 0/1/1900

I assume that they are the result of a calculation (you use a formula in those cells). You can change the .NumberFormat of your range to something like:

[=0]"";D/M/YYYY

and this will hide the zero dates and show the cells as blanks.

  • This is not what the OP asked. He asked how to use VBA to replace "0/1/1900" with "". Your answer does not attempt to deal with this. – Jonathan Willcock Apr 19 '22 at 19:29
  • @JonathanWillcock Since the values obviously come from a formula because nobody would enter a date like `0/1/1900` and the formula autodeploys over the listobject (formatted as table) it does not make sense to remove those as they won't update anymore when data changes. • So obviously the OP run into an [X/Y Problem](https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/66377/what-is-the-xy-problem) where he asked the wrong question based on a wrong assumption. That's why my answer has a different solution. – Pᴇʜ Apr 20 '22 at 06:16
