Hello,
Here is what I am trying to achieve by using a macro : I have an Excel file open (Excel1.xls) and I want by macro to be able to import another Excel file (Excel_ddmmyy.xls) to it. The difficulty is that I want to import the latest version of the "Excel_ddmmyy.xls file". First the macro needs to search in the correct folder ("Folder") for the latest version of "Excel_ddmmyy.xls". There is only one sheet in that file. Then that file has to be exported to "Excel1.xls". So "Excel1.xls" will have a new sheet which will be a copy of "Excel_ddmmyy.xls". Once it's done the original "Excel_ddmmyy.xls" has to be closed. 1- in "Folder" find the latest version of "Excel_ddmmyy.xls" 2- export "Excel_ddmmyy.xls" to "Excel1.xls" 3- close "Excel_ddmmyy" Ideally the macro would launch automatically when I open "Excel1.xls". In case it's easier, the macro could look for "Excel_ddmmyy.xls" based on the "ddmmyy" given by me. So if I put 010509 in "A1" then the macro will look in "Folder" for "Excel_010509.xls". I hope I have been clear enough (English as you can read is not my mother tongue!). Thank you for your help |
