I have code below that allows a user to limit the selection when browsing for a csv file in C:\Extract



I would like the code to allow the browsing to show files like MGU Parts or Parts MGU and only show the latest modified files like this


Kindly amend my code





Code:
 Sub Open_Workbook()
    ChDir ("C:\extract")
    Dim nb As Workbook, tw As Workbook, WS As Worksheet, LR As Long, A As Variant
    Dim rngDestination As Range
    Dim filename As Variant
    Set WS = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Imported Data")
    WS.UsedRange.ClearContents

    On Error Resume Next
    Set rngDestination = WS.Range("A1")
    On Error GoTo 0
    If rngDestination Is Nothing Then Exit Sub  'User canceled

    

    With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)
        .ButtonName = "Select"
        With .Filters
            .Clear
            .Add "CSV Files", "*.csv"
        End With
        .FilterIndex = 1
        .InitialFileName = "C:\Extract\MGU*Part*.csv"
        .Title = "Select CSV file"
        If .Show = 0 Then Exit Sub
        filename = .SelectedItems(1)
    End With
    Debug.Print filename

    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    Dim srcWorkbook As Workbook
    Set srcWorkbook = Workbooks.Open(filename:=filename, local:=True)
    ThisWorkbook.Activate

    srcWorkbook.Sheets(1).Range("A:AM").Copy
    rngDestination.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues
    Application.CutCopyMode = False

    srcWorkbook.Close SaveChanges:=False

    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
 

Excel Facts

How to total the visible cells?
From the first blank cell below a filtered data set, press Alt+=. Instead of SUM, you will get SUBTOTAL(9,)
You cannot tell FileDialog to show only recently modified files. If you need such functionality, a custom UserForm can be created to accommodate to your needs.
