Hello, I got nice help with Macro which I am using at my work.
Now I come up to more complicated thing
I have a basic path C:\GENERAL\PLAN\Delivery Plan\Delivery Plans\current year\current month with format 08 August\after WC and date based on Sunday of previous week so in my case WC 13 08 2023(can be latest folder created)\delivery day like Friday (can be latest folder created\

I have current code, but I don't know how to add there option to detect latest folders in Month and in WC

VBA Code:
Public Sub OpenTP()

    Dim basePath As String, fullPath As String
    Dim yearMonth As String
    Dim workbookFileName As String

    basePath = "C:\GENERAL\PLAN\Delivery Plan\Delivery Plans\"

    'Current year and month

    yearMonth = Format(Date, "yyyy\\mm mmmm\\")
    fullPath = basePath & yearMonth

    If Dir(fullPath, vbDirectory) = vbNullString Or Dir(fullPath & "Final DP*.xlsx") = vbNullString Then

        'Path doesn't exist or doesn't contain Handover*.xlsm, so construct path for previous month (and year)

        yearMonth = Format(DateAdd("m", -1, Date), "yyyy\\mm mmmm\\")
        fullPath = basePath & yearMonth

    End If

    workbookFileName = Find_Latest_File(fullPath, "Final DP*.xlsx")
    If workbookFileName <> "" Then
        Workbooks.Open workbookFileName
    End If

End Sub
VBA Code:
 Private Function Find_Latest_File(ByVal folder As String, Optional matchFiles As String = "*.*") As String

    Dim fileName As String
    Dim fileTime As Date, latestTime As Date

    If Right(folder, 1) <> "\" Then folder = folder & "\"

    Find_Latest_File = ""
    fileTime = 0
    fileName = Dir(folder & matchFiles)
    While fileName <> vbNullString
        fileTime = FileDateTime(folder & fileName)
        If fileTime > latestTime Then
            Find_Latest_File = folder & fileName
            latestTime = fileTime
        End If
        fileName = Dir
    Wend
