There's a CSV file at the path: C:\Users\Me\Documents\data_files\quotes.csv

I have a different file (mainfile.xlsm) open in which I want code that will fetch the date the quotes.csv file in the directory above was last modified, and paste it into cell A1. Anyone help? Thank you!
 

Excel Facts

Which lookup functions find a value equal or greater than the lookup value?
MATCH uses -1 to find larger value (lookup table must be sorted ZA). XLOOKUP uses 1 to find values greater and does not need to be sorted.
Here you go:

Code:
Sub lastmod()

Range("A1")  = FileDateTime("[COLOR=#333333]C:\Users\Me\Documents\data_files\quotes.csv[/COLOR]")

End Sub
