Hello!
I've been struggling with this code:
What I have now is: I open several .csv files, then I run if statements depending on the name of the file in order to insert it into a specific sheet on my main workbook. The code clears that sheet's content and replaces it with the data from the opened files.
What I actually want to achieve: I open several .csv files, then I run if statements depending on the name of the file in order to insert it into a specific sheet on my main workbook. I want to add that data into tables in specific sheets (one table per file/error type, one table per sheet), since I want to have a history of the data used, and add the date on the file name to the third column of said table.
File name example: ERROR207_2021-10-20.csv
Content example:
Car_VIN,count
VIN123143214324,1
VIN132143265675,20
VIN210193543939,13
...
The table on the main workbook would turn out to be something like this:
I'm really new to VBA, and we have a working solution with Power queries on W10 but our company is trading windows for MacOS, I need to "translate" that into VBA.
Any help is appreciated and if any additional info is needed please let me know!
