Dim i, j As Integer
Dim LargeNr As Double
    With TheRange
        For i = 1 To .Rows.Count
            For j = 1 To .Columns.Count
                If ConvertToDays(.Cells(i, j).Value) > LargeNr Then
                    LargeNr = ConvertToDays(.Cells(i, j).Value)
                    LargeDate = CleanDate(.Cells(i, j).Value)
                End If
            Next j
