Macro to work off daily sheets with date changing on end of file name

Hi

I have built a macro process sheet with 6 different macros on it that run the same function across 6 pairs of sheets each day (and I am very much a novice) to run some essential daily processes for me where the macro takes a formula from one excel sheet (SheetA) and it gets pasted into a separate new daily sheet (SheetB) and then some filtering and column hiding takes place to give me a saved sheet each day. This as I say operates across 6 pairs of sheets so it would be Sheets C and D etc for Method2

The issue I have is SheetB (and the other 5 daily sheets) are downloaded from a website each day and come appended with the date on the end so for example it is sheetB-2018-01-15.xlsx for 15th jan but them sheetB-2018-01-16 the next day

I couldn't get the macro to work unless I changed the date to a constant file name so each day I download the sheets and I have to manually delete the date and I replace it with Method1 ( and then so on Method2, Method3 etc for the other 5 sheets)

I am sure this is a long winded way to do it the first part of the file name will always remain constant it is just this date

Can anybody at all help me with a solution on how to rename the files easily or for the macro to point to the correct file with the date changing each day on the end

I copy the macro code for one of these methods here and it is the text in red where this dated sheet would fit in with affects two places in the macro when it opens and activates the sheet and when it closes and saves it, as I say I manually change it to Method1 each day to get the macro to work

Sub Method1_HT_CS_Lay_Process()

Formula for Yesterday
Name Manager, New Name. Yesterday =TODAY()-1. OK. Then, use =YESTERDAY in any cell. Tomorrow could be =TODAY()+1.
