Hi. I want to be able to modify the below code to firstly drop the need for the msgbox. So when the prompt appears to select a file to open it actually says "Select today's file". and also change it so that it only limits showing *.xlsx files.

Many thanks


Set fd = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)
fd.AllowMultiSelect = False


MsgBox "Select today's file"
fd.InitialView = msoFileDialogViewList
fd.AllowMultiSelect = True



FileChosen = fd.Show
If FileChosen = -1 Then
For i = 1 To fd.SelectedItems.Count
Call ReadDataFromSourceFile(fd.SelectedItems(i))
Next i
End If

Best way to learn Power Query?
Read M is for (Data) Monkey book by Ken Puls and Miguel Escobar. It is the complete guide to Power Query.
Use:
VBA Code:
fd.Title = "Select today's file"
instead of:
Code:
MsgBox "Select today's file"
