B2:H5202 is a total of 36407 cells.
Which ones actually contain the dates?

The actual cells that contain the dates are as follows:

J2 contains the current date with the Now() in it

B2 till H2
B102 till H102
B202 till H202
B302 Till H302
B402 Till H402
B502 Till H502
B602 Till H602
B702 Till H702
B802 Till H802
B902 Till H902
B1002 Till H1002
and so on the last row is B5202 Till H520

First, Name your data range B2:H5202 as DATA
Then, insert the formula =Today() in an unused cell and
name that cell TODAY

Switch to VBA and insert a module if one does not exist.

Copy the following to the new module:

Public Sub FindDate()
Dim intCount As Integer
Dim MyRange As Range
Set MyRange = Range("Data")
Dim rngFoundCell As Range

intCount = MyRange.Count

For x = 1 To intCount
If MyRange.Cells(x) = Range("Today") Then
Set rngFoundCell = MyRange.Cells(x)
rngFoundCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
Exit Sub
End If

Next x
End Sub


You could also add the following for the worksheet event,
so that whenever you activate that sheet, if correct cell
is active.

Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
FindDate
End Sub

Slight Change to notify the user if the Date is not found.

Public Sub FindDate()
Dim intCount As Integer
Dim MyRange As Range
Set MyRange = Range("Data")
Dim rngFoundCell As Range

intCount = MyRange.Count

For x = 1 To intCount
If MyRange.Cells(x) = Range("Today") Then
Set rngFoundCell = MyRange.Cells(x)
rngFoundCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
Exit Sub
End If

Next x

MsgBox "Date Not Found"

End Sub

There was a Dim statement in the VB Code something like
Dim intCount as Interger

Change that to read:
Dim intCount as long
