VBA to open 2 workbooks(name changes on 1), copy and paste data and drag down existing formula

[cdalgorta]

Hi,
Thank you in advance. This one is a bit long. Sorry!

So I download a file daily and I use that to replace the data on another file which is 1 of my database excels for my main template.
The VBA that I'd need would be the following:
* Open both Excels(I'm guessing they have to be opened for this to work).
The daily new data always goes to my "Downloads" file, the name always starts with "Additional info looker Standard Unlimited " followed by the date and then random characters(I delete the one from the previous day, so there will always only be 1 file in my downloads that starts with "Additional info looker Standard Unlimited ".
There is only 1 sheet on the workbook and the name is always "Additional info looker Standard".

I need to copy all columns from A to S. The number of rows always changes(could be more, could be less), but it's between 100k to 200k(if that matters). Also, not sure if this matters as well, but A1 is empty as you can see in the image.

*By the way, this daily download file is a .csv file.*

Now, the file I need to paste the data in, is here:
C:\Users\cristian\Desktop\Standard Aging Local
Name: Additional Info Lookup Data
Sheet name: Additional Info Lookup

There are formulas on columns T and U, so I was thinking that the best way to do it, would be with a VBA that deletes everything below Row 3, paste the data from the previous file into this one from A2 to S2 all the way down, and then drag the formulas on T2 and U2 all the way down until the last row of the new data. And that would finish what I need.

P.S. If possible, I think a VBA that turns "Calculation Options" to "Manual" before opening the 2nd file with the formulas, and then another one that triggers "Calculate Now" after dragging down the formulas on T2 and U2, would make this better. For some reason, "sometimes" when I open the workbook with the formulas, it starts recalculating the formulas even though I just opened it and nothing has changed. I have to remind myself to click "manual" before I open any excel with formulas or I have to wait for the thing to finish calculating...

P.P.S If possible as well, a VBA to close the 1st file at the very end would be great. I know the VBA to close a file with a fixed name, but not when the file name changes and only part of the name is fixed, "Additional info looker Standard Unlimited ".

Thank you so much in advance! I'm thinking of paying for a Coursera VBA course so that I can start helping others here as well instead of just asking for help. Hahaha. There are quiet a few, so any recommendations from the experts would be greatly appreciate it!

You should never hit that section of code if you are clicking on the button that was created on Sheet1.

Can you post a pic of the button you are clicking on?

Like I said on Post #21. I do not reach that code by clicking on the button. I only reach it when I click "play" on the module itself.
When I click on the button I only get the "Subscript out of range" error.

That pic you are showing has the tab name at the bottom of 'Sheet1'?

Yes

Ok set a break point (red dot) at the point shown in the pic below.

That is in the sheet1 module code.

After you do that, click the button on sheet1 and let me know if the code stops at that line with the red dot at the beginning of it.

Looks like it did

Perfect! Now tap the 'F8' button. The yellow line should advance to the next line of code.

Tap the 'F8' button again. This is called stepping through the code.

Each time the yellow line advances, tap the 'F8' button again ... let me know what line it produces the error on.

This is the last yellow line. After this, it triggers the error

 

[johnnyL]

I am confused ... the line in yellow when executed 'F8' is when the error occurs?

 

[johnnyL]

Your answer, I hope is yes, because the following line of 'StartRow = 2' will not produce that error.

Apologies for explaining badly.
So the yellow line goes down to the next line when I press F8 like you said.
After I press F8 again after the one in yellow in the picture, the error triggers and nothing shows as yellow anymore.
