Hi, Good day. I have a concern I hope anyone can help me. I have a list of files from d2:d4 on a worksheet. I need a macro that can open one at a time copy the latest date on a specific column and sheet tab and paste it to another worksheets, then close it, then open the next, etc.
On Column D it show a link or list of file for each vendor score, I want the macro to open the file, go to sheet tab "quality" then on column J, it will look for the latest date but it on text format. Once it finds the latest date, it will copy the date and paste on another sheets name result, and then close and open the next.

I found some code, but was not able to tweak it.


VBA Code:
Sub test()
 Dim myDir As String, r As Range, fn As String, msg As String
 myDir = "c:\test\"
 For Each r In Range("c2", Range("c" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
 fn = Dir(myDir & r.Value)
 If fn = "" Then
 msg = msg & vbLf & r.Value
 Else
 With Workbooks.Open(myDir & fn)
 .Sheets("YourSheetName").Range("MKTG").Copy _
 ThisWorkbook.Sheets("SomeSheet").Range("SomeRange")
 .Close False
 End With
 End If
 Next
 If Len(msg) Then
 MsgBox "Not found" & msg
 End If
End Sub
