Thanks,
My dates are in column C, so Inplayed around with your macro ( replaced 1
with 3) but wasn't sure how this was working. This is what I've got so far

Sub LFmacro()

Dim nRows As Long

ChDir "G:\Lou French macro"
Workbooks.Open Filename:="G:\Lou French macro\podnondel.CSV"

'copy latest date from podnondel workbook
'colour rows red

Windows("LFmacro.XLS").Activate
Range("A2").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste

End Sub

So I need to know how to slot your latest date part into the middle!! Would
this work or do I abandon my part and use all of yours??
Thanks

Assuming the dates are in col A you could try some thing like:

Sub MoveData()
Dim wbk1 as Workbook
Dim wbk2 as Workbook
Dim Source as Range
Dim Dest as Range

Set wbk1 = ActiveWorkbook
Set Source = wbk1.Sheets(1).Range("A65536").End(xlUp).EntireRow

Set wbk2 = Workbooks("MyOtherBook")
Set Dest = wbk2.Sheets(1).Range("A65536").End(xlUp)

Source.Copy Dest


End Sub

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to write a macro to copy data from one workbook to another. I
have opened the first workbook which has a weeks worth of dates and data, and
need to identify and copy the latest date on that workbook and paste into the
new workbook. The data is sorted by date so the latest date is always at the
bottom. Is there a way of selecting the rows for the most recent date only??
I hope someone can help me!
Thanks, Mel
