I am looking for a way to import CSV data from different files into my existing spreadsheet and fill it into my cells. For example one file will be labeled Z005_13 and cells B11:C35 will need to be copied from that file. Now everyday the file name will change. the two digits at the end will represent the day of the month from the file.
Basically the reports we normally print out we use to fill out our daily sales reports, I want the data to go from a flash card and import into my excel file and fill it out automatically.
The people that will be using this are not excel savvy and I am hoping to make this as easy as possible.
Is it possible to make two macros, one that updates the date for the files you want to use and causes the next macro to change, and one to actually import the file you need?

Anybody have any idea how I could accomplish this?

Regards,

Andrew
