I've got an excel macro that will open through all files in a folder and run some code, The problem is the files in the folder are either .xlsx or .csv.
The part of the code I'm using is as below.
Code:
fileName = Dir(folderPath & "*.xlsx")

I have to change the code manually to
Code:
fileName = Dir(folderPath & "*.csv")
and run the macro twice.

Is there a way to get the macro to open both xlsx and csv files?

Thanks.

Below is the code I'm using
Code:
Sub SearchAndCompileData()
    Dim keyword As String
    Dim folderPath As String
    Dim fileName As String
    Dim wb As Workbook
    Dim ws As Worksheet
    Dim file As String
    Dim arrData() As Variant
    Dim i As Long
    Dim lastRow As Long
    

    keyword = InputBox("Enter search keyword")
    If keyword = "" Then Exit Sub
    
 
    With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)
        .Title = "Select Folder"
        .Show
        If .SelectedItems.Count = 0 Then Exit Sub
        folderPath = .SelectedItems(1) & "\"
    End With
    

    Set ws = ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet
    lastRow = ws.Cells(ws.Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Row
    i = lastRow + 1
    

    fileName = Dir(folderPath & "*.xlsx")
    Do While fileName <> ""
      
        Set wb = Workbooks.Open(folderPath & fileName)
        
     
        Set ws = wb.Worksheets(1)
 
        For Each cell In ws.Range("B1:B" & ws.Cells(ws.Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Row)
            If cell.Value = keyword Then
          
                ws.Range("C" & cell.Row).Copy Destination:=ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet.Range("C" & i)
                ws.Range("D" & cell.Row).Copy Destination:=ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet.Range("D" & i)
                i = i + 1
            End If
        Next cell
        
     
        wb.Close SaveChanges:=False
        
      
        fileName = Dir
    Loop
    
    
    MsgBox "Search and compilation completed."
End Sub

Excel Facts

Why are there 1,048,576 rows in Excel?
The Excel team increased the size of the grid in 2007. There are 2^20 rows and 2^14 columns for a total of 17 billion cells.
This could be an option:


VBA Code:
  Filename = Dir(folderPath & "*.*")
  
  Do While Filename <> ""
    If Filename Like "*.xlsx" Or Filename Like "*.csv" Then
      'do the work
    
    End If
    
    Filename = Dir()
  Loop
