Thumbs up Answer: How to Use DateLastModified Property in VBA?

Sure, I'd be happy to help you with that!

To use the DateLastModified property in VBA, you can follow these steps:
  1. Open the VBA editor in Excel by pressing Alt + F11.
  2. In the editor, go to Insert Module to create a new module.
  3. In the new module, you can use the following code to get the last modified date of a file:

    Formula:
    Function GetLastModified(filePath As String) As Date
        GetLastModified 
    FileDateTime(filePath)
    End Function 
    This code defines a function called GetLastModified that takes a file path as an argument and returns the last modified date of the file.
  4. To use this function in your current open spreadsheet, you can add a formula to a cell that references the function and passes the file path as an argument. For example, if the file you want to get the last modified date of is "C:\Users\JohnDoe\Documents\MyFile.xlsx", you can add the following formula to a cell:

    =GetLastModified("C:\Users\JohnDoe\Documents\MyFil e.xlsx")

    This formula will return the last modified date of the file.

Let me know if you have any questions or if there's anything else I can do for you.
