Hello,

I am trying to export data sets from 3 files into a new "Weekly Summary" file. However, the file names change each week to match up with the start date of the week (ex. Line 1 6-26-17). Whenever I try to reference a sheet by having the user select a file by using Application.GetOpenFileName or by having an input box where the user enters the date (ex. user enters date in inputbox "startDate", code searches for 'Workbook("Line 1" & startDate) I keep getting error messages, usually "subscript out of range." Can anyone help me with this?
 

Excel Facts

Why are there 1,048,576 rows in Excel?
The Excel team increased the size of the grid in 2007. There are 2^20 rows and 2^14 columns for a total of 17 billion cells.
Also, I can post my exact code if that helps. But think I outlined my main issues with the examples.

So my issue is I need to be able to change the name of the workbook.open function. So while "Line 1 6-19-17.xlsm" works and may work for a week of data, the next week the file I would need to access would be something like "Line 6-26-17.xlsm" and that code would not work. I need to find away to automatically update this so I don't need to go into my code and change the date every week
