We collect data from companies on Excel sheets. I want to detect within my VBA code if the spreadsheet they sent is the most recent version before I upload the data to our db.

I could hide an id somewhere on the sheet using a white font color or something like that. Wondering if anyone has other ideas. Thanks

How to change case of text in Excel?
Use =UPPER() for upper case, =LOWER() for lower case, and =PROPER() for proper case. PROPER won't capitalize second c in Mccartney
