I have the folowing macro below to open a folder and the user then needs to select the workbook to be copied


I need someone to amend my code using a wildcard to narrow down the selection starting with BRT1 to open the file for eg. full name is BRT1 Sales_Report Sept 2022.xlsm. Need a wildcard as Month and year changes

Code:
 Sub Open_File()
ChDir "C:\Sales Ledgers"
Dim LR As Long
With Application
.DisplayAlerts = False
.ScreenUpdating = False
.AskToUpdateLinks = False


With Sheets("Imported Data")
LR = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
.Range("A1:AD" & LR).ClearContents

Dim fDialog As Object, varFile As Variant
Dim nb As Workbook, tw As Workbook, ts As Worksheet
With Application
    .ScreenUpdating = False
    .Calculation = xlCalculationManual
    .CutCopyMode = False
End With
Set tw = ThisWorkbook
Set ts = tw.ActiveSheet
Set fDialog = Application.FileDialog(3)
ChDir "C:\Sales Ledgers\"

With fDialog
  .Filters.Clear
  .Filters.Add "Excel files", "*.xlsm*"
   .Show
   
   For Each varFile In .SelectedItems
      Set nb = Workbooks.Open(Filename:=varFile, local:=True)
      
     With Sheets(3)
   .Range("A1:AD2000").Copy
    ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Imported Data").Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1).PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
    ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Imported Data").Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1).PasteSpecial xlPasteFormats

End With
      
        
        nb.Close False
   Next
End With
With Application
    .ScreenUpdating = True
    .Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic
    .CutCopyMode = True
End With

 End With
 End With
 
 
With Application
.DisplayAlerts = True
.ScreenUpdating = True
.AskToUpdateLinks = True
  End With
  
 
End Sub
 

Excel Facts

What did Pito Salas invent?
Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.
I managed to work out the code required

The is just after
ChDir "C:\Sales Ledgers\"


Code:
 Set tw = ThisWorkbook
Set ts = tw.ActiveSheet
Set fDialog = Application.FileDialog(3)
ChDir "C:\Sales Ledgers\"


Code:
 With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)
.InitialFileName = "C:\Sales Ledgers\BRT1*.xls*"
If .Show = 0 Then Exit Sub
A = .SelectedItems(1)
End With
