I been reading up codes available on the net from various sources and have debug with self-taught programming to make it work but I'm having difficulty proceeding on.

As you can see, it comes from a source. Browsing a folder & reading the files works fine with the code, I need to copy values from this folder & paste it into the default template as assigned in the code & save the file with with a default format and alongside values from a cell(O1) & (O11) assign in the code.

As you can see, is not saved as xlsx and neither is it saving with the values from cell specified.
Next, automating data entry to assigned field. Only first 3 files are able to copy exactly what I want. The rest inputs wrong data, as shown in the image below. Additionally, I also need to copy values from cell N15:O83 read from files in folder, into template Column AA & AB starting from row 6 respectively.
Thanks in advance for any assistance provided.
