Hello - I have the following VBA which is supposed to loop through a list of files and import tables from them. I did most of this via recording a macro, but am having trouble editing it so that when it loops, it references the cell in the next row. I get an error when I try to run the below. The "filepath" variable contains the file extension from which I extract the tables, and which I would like to change as the VBA loops. Many thanks!

VBA Code:
Dim reffile As Long
    Dim filepath As Range
    Dim i As Long
    FinalRow = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
    filepath = Range("A" & i)
    For i = 2 To FinalRow
        ActiveWorkbook.Queries.Add Name:="Table001 (Page 1)", Formula:= _
            "let" & Chr(13) & "" & Chr(10) & "    Source = Pdf.Tables(File.Contents(""" & filepath & """), [Implementation=""1.2""])," & Chr(13) & "" & Chr(10) & "    Table001 = Source{[Id=""Table001""]}[Data]" & Chr(13) & "" & Chr(10) & "in" & Chr(13) & "" & Chr(10) & "    Table001"
        With ActiveSheet.ListObjects.Add(SourceType:=0, Source:= _
            "OLEDB;Provider=Microsoft.Mashup.OleDb.1;Data Source=$Workbook$;Location=""Table001 (Page 1)"";Extended Properties=""""" _
            , Destination:=Range("$P$2")).QueryTable
            .CommandType = xlCmdSql
            .CommandText = Array("SELECT * FROM [Table001 (Page 1)]")
            .RowNumbers = False
            .FillAdjacentFormulas = False
            .PreserveFormatting = True
            .RefreshOnFileOpen = False
            .BackgroundQuery = True
            .RefreshStyle = xlInsertDeleteCells
            .SavePassword = False
            .SaveData = True
            .AdjustColumnWidth = True
            .RefreshPeriod = 0
            .PreserveColumnInfo = True
            .ListObject.DisplayName = "Table001__Page_1"
        ActiveWorkbook.RefreshAll
        Application.Wait (Now + TimeValue("0:00:03"))
        ActiveWorkbook.Queries("Table001 (Page 1)").Delete
        Range("O1:s50").ClearContents

    
    End With
    Next i

  
End Sub

Spell Check in Excel
Press F7 to start spell check in Excel. Be careful, by default, Excel does not check Capitalized Werds (whoops)
to get rid of the error just swap these two lines around;
VBA Code:
   filepath = Range("A" & i)
    For i = 2 To FinalRow
should be
VBA Code:
    For i = 2 To FinalRow
   filepath = Range("A" & i)
Also I don't think you should define filepath as a range it should be a variant or a string
