Default Best Practice - Transfer Data

Purpose: Copy 2 column of data from .csv file & Paste Special (value only) to
an Excel Template.
Question: What is the best way of achieving this?

What I tried #1: record a Macro, starting from the Template file Open the
..csv file in Excel Copy Needed 2 columns of data Paste Special value only
starting E11 Close .csv file Answer No to the data on clipboard questions
Go back to Template File. Stop the Macro recording.


Problem with Macro #1: I checked the code after recording this Macro, the
code doesn't specify File Name (report.csv) Nor the location of the file
(Desktop)
__________________________

What I tried #2: record a Macro, starting from the Template file Unprotect
file, enter password Run Import Text File Wizard Choose Comma as
Delimiter Go over column by column to select "Do not import column (skip)"
to skip the rest of the columns except the two columns needed.

Problem with Macro #2: (1) The Wizard seem to adjust the row height to fit
the font size. (2) Don't know how to embed the unprotect password to the
code, so that user won't need to enter it. (3) Also Don't know how to embed
the code to Protect the Templet after running the Wizard.

Other Variable Factor Known: Amount of rows of data that two columns might
be different from time to time.

I'm sorry if this is too lengthy, just want to make sure everyone understand.

Thank you in advance.
