Hello guys,

I written a code where it will open a file based on Prefix of a file name. But I need to open a file based on certain file name matches.
Example: If file name is RSNOS_20200906_Summary and if RSNOS_Summary matches with the file name then macro should open the file.
If file name is XYZ_20200906_datasheet and if XYZ_datasheet matches with the file name then macro should open the file.

Please someone help on this.

VBA Code:
Sub Openfile()
Dim Fso, fs, Fl
Dim pvtTbl As PivotTable
    
    Set Fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
    'Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    For Each Fl In Fso.getfolder(ThisWorkbook.Path & "\").Files
        If (InStr("RSNOS", Left(Fl.Name, 5)) = 1) Then 'for rawdata file
            pa = ThisWorkbook.Path & "\"
            inputfile = Fl.Name
            Workbooks.Open (pa & inputfile)
        End If
    Next
 

Excel Facts

Shade all formula cells
To shade all formula cells: Home, Find & Select, Formulas to select all formulas. Then apply a light fill color.
Try this

VBA Code:
Sub Openfile()
  Dim Fso As Object, fs, Fl As Variant
  Dim pvtTbl As PivotTable
  
  Set Fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
  Application.ScreenUpdating = False
  For Each Fl In Fso.getfolder(ThisWorkbook.Path & "\").Files
    If Fl.Name Like "RSNOS_*Summary*" Then  'for rawdata file
      Workbooks.Open ThisWorkbook.Path & "\" & Fl.Name
    End If
  Next
End Sub
