Linking CSV with XLSX

[Nanaia]

Good Monday morning to you!
Is there a way to make it so an XLSX will pull data/reference a CSV file in the same folder? Right now I'm simply opening both files, copying the CSV and pasting the data into a tab in the XLSX. I was wondering if there was a way to eliminate the need for the copy and paste, if the CSV (since it's the only one of that format in the file) could have the data retrieved from it another way. Am I out of my mind thinking this can be done? That maybe I just need to wait for my coffee to kick in before I start asking questions...?
Regards,
Nanaia

Ranman256 - Thank you~
Could I impose on you to tell me what I'm supposed to do with this information...because it doesn't look like something I just put into my spreadsheet...? I'm used to dealing with formulas, this is a bit more complex...

Just for clarification, this would be for a template sheet that would end up being saved to each job folder. (I mis-spoke before, there is only one CSV in the folder. I'd originally said there's only one CSV in the file.) We would open and save as or copy the template XLSX and rename it. I don't even know if what I want to do is possible, but figured this would be the place to ask.

The code would set in a module in the xl template. The youd modify it to import the csv file you want, (TEXT;C:\Users\BobSmith\Desktop\MyData.txt)
then it would SAVEAS to the job folder

Thank you.
Based on your description, and other information I've found online, this is something that would have to be done every time a new version of the file was saved in the new job folder, correct?
