Hi

The macro was given to me by my predecessor.

I have an issue with the ‘date’ when importing data using the macro. It works well when I import a data file into a macro and transform it into a report, this all works well.

The issue is that if I import a 2nd data file today again after the 1st round it won’t work. I get a prompt message from the macro saying "No new rows to import. If this is wrong check the 'LastImportDates' sheet". It will only work the next day. This is the issue I am struggling with as I need to import several files on the same day.

Please see the screenshot below, It shows the section of the VBA macro. I hope this is the one that caused the issue. I am hoping that you can point me to where I need to change it, allowing me a import multiple data files on the same day.

I hope everything makes sense. I will endeavor my best to assist you further if needed.

Best regards
