Hello,

I am having an issue figuring this out. I have the below code that will open afile based on certain dates. Since the file names have varying dates everymonth I created variables that will open the correct file based on the dates incertain cells. Cells A15 and A16 have the actual dates and cells B15 and B16have the monthly verbiage used at the end of each file (Mar_Final) and(Feb_Final) based on the given dates in cells A15 and A16 (which will changeevery month).
I did get thecode below to open both files, but I just realized that the “Current’ file shouldbe opened anyways since that it what the user will be using to populate with theextracted data. Therefore, I don’t need the “Current Month” file to be openedagain. What I need to figure out is how to extract the data I need from the “PriorMonth” file using the preset variables I have to open the file. I’m looking todo the same thing in the last section of the code labeled ('Update Current Month Data), butinstead it will be “Update Prior Month Data”.

What am I missing to get this to work?

Code:
