I want to loop through the files in a folder, select only one that is NOT Thisworkbook, do something, then exit the loop.

Code:
    Dim SelectedFile As String
    
    SelectedFile = Dir(PathName:="C:\MyFolder\")


    Do Until SelectedFile <> ThisWorkbook.Name

    
        If SelectedFile <> ThisWorkbook.Name Then
        
           ' do something    
        
        End If
       
        SelectedFile = Dir

    Loop

However, the code above doesn't quite work.

How can I amend it?

Thanks

What does custom number format of ;;; mean?
Three semi-colons will hide the value in the cell. Although most people use white font instead.
Try something like:

Code:
Dim SelectedFile As String
    
    SelectedFile = Dir(PathName:="C:\MyFolder\")


    Do Until SelectedFile <> ThisWorkbook.Name
       
        SelectedFile = Dir

    Loop

        If SelectedFile <> "" Then
        
           ' do something    
        
        End If
