I have a code below:
---------------------------------------
00 Dim filename As String
01 filename = "C:\ExcelVBA\test.xls"
02 Dim sn As Object
03 Set sn = Excel.Application
04 sn.Workbooks.Open filename
05 ' sn.Workbooks(filename).Close
06 Set sn = Nothing
---------------------------------------

Suppose , I want to Dynamic the "file path" given.
And I Modify the code #02 below:

filename =inputbox( "Pls paste a file path to open " , type:=2)
, and then User really paste a path=C:\ExcelVBA\test.xls" , to inputbox window

afterward , I executive the Code #04 as below:

sn.Workbooks.Open filename

then , why doesn't it working properly !?

Why does 9 mean SUM in SUBTOTAL?
It is because Sum is the 9th alphabetically in Average, Count, CountA, Max, Min, Product, StDev.S, StDev.P, Sum, VAR.S, VAR.P.
