Editing a recorded macro to filter for 3 variables

I want to preface this by saying I am fairly new to VBA and I'm open to better approaches this code. I had an initial process, where I would filter values in an array based on conditions (date, money group and measure) and paste into another sheet. I would then run code to copy these values based on conditions and paste into a separate worksheet.

I now want to eliminate the manual bit where I filter the stuff myself and paste into another sheet. I tried to record a macro on the manual process that I use and my plan was to insert a sheet of the same name so that the remainder of the initial code would work as normal.The problem is that I want to read the dates on the worksheet that I am pasting into, use these as variables and then filter my values on the worksheet I am getting data from and pasting into another sheet. Here is the code with comments:

Sub Actual()

Dim rw As Integer
Dim z As Integer
Dim i As Integer
Dim rpt_nm As String
Dim wb As Workbook: Set wb = ThisWorkbook
Dim wb2 As Workbook
Dim dt1, dt2, dt3 As Date
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim TAmt, VAmt, UAmt, OAmt As Double

Worksheets("PAct").Range("G1").Activate

Let rw = ActiveCell
Let rpt_nm = Range("k1").Value
Let dt1 = Cells(rw, 1)
Let dt2 = Cells(rw + 1, 1)
Let dt3 = Cells(rw + 2, 1)

' Workbooks.Open Filename:=ThisWorkbook.Path & "\2. 2019 Legacy.xlsx"
Set wb2 = Workbooks.Open(Filename:=ThisWorkbook.Path & rpt_nm)
With wb2
    .Sheets.Add After:=.Sheets("Actual Input").Name = "VBA Input"
End With

'This is the macro I recorded in sheet I am trying to copy from
Sheets("Actual Input").Activate
Columns("E:E").Select
Selection.Insert Shift:=xlToRight, CopyOrigin:=xlFormatFromLeftOrAbove
Range("E2").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = _
                 "=IF(LEN(RC[-1])=9,DATE(RIGHT(RC[-1],4),LEFT(RC[-1],1),MID(RC[-1],3,2)),DATE(RIGHT(RC[-1],4),LEFT(RC[-1],2),MID(RC[-1],4,2)))"

'This is where the macro recorder ends

For z = 0 To 2
    For i = 0 To 2

        wb2.Worksheets("VBA Input").Activate

        VAmt = Cells(3 + (i * 5), 9 + (z * 10))
        UAmt = Cells(4 + (i * 5), 9 + (z * 10)) + Cells(5 + (i * 5), 9 + (z * 10))
        TAmt = Cells(6 + (i * 5), 9 + (z * 10))
        OAmt = Cells(7 + (i * 5), 9 + (z * 10))

        wb.Worksheets("PAct").Activate
        Cells(rw + i, 16 + (z * 5)) = TAmt
        Cells(rw + i, 17 + (z * 5)) = VAmt
        Cells(rw + i, 18 + (z * 5)) = UAmt
        Cells(rw + i, 19 + (z * 5)) = OAmt

    Next
Next

End Sub

Again fairly new to VBA so if you think there's a better approach (particularly in regards to the recorded macro) please let me know and I can just figure it out myself. Just thought it would be good to learn more about recording macros. Thanks
