On a weekly basis I import to an excel file, 5 csv files for the last 5 days from a folder that holders numerous files (to tell each file apart the file name is the date). Within my excel spreadsheet I have set up an admin tab showing the file path of the files I need to import, shown in rows (3 to 7). The macro looks at the file names to be imported and imports to sheets names 'File 1' through to 'File 5'. I update the dates of the files I want to import under the heading 'Date of file' the macro runs fine until there is less than 5 file names showing or the file is missing from the folder I am trying to import from. I have 2 questions

1) if there is less than 5 files to be imported, how do I reflect this in my code as current the macro reads For rep = 3 To 7, I need to say if the file name is missing move onto importing the next file
2) if the the file for a date is missing from the folder how to I get the code to show a message to reflect 'date xxxx is missing from the import'?

C:\Documents\Example\20160101.csvFile1120160101
C:\Documents\Example\20160102.csvFile2120160102
C:\Documents\Example\20160103.csvFile3120160103
C:\Documents\Example\20160104.csvFile4120160104
C:\Documents\Example\20160105.csvFile5120160105

Dim file_name As String

row_number = Sheets("Admin").Range("C" & rep).Value
