Open any file using Excel Macros










1















So I have this code to load data from .csv files into excel sheet. I recorded macros but how can I make user select custom files every time macros executed?



 Range("B11").Select
With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _
"TEXT;C:UsersadminDesktopVATteVAT_SALES_201801.csv", Destination:=Range _
("$B$11"))
.Name = "VAT_SALES_201801"
.FieldNames = True
.RowNumbers = False
.FillAdjacentFormulas = False
.PreserveFormatting = True
.RefreshOnFileOpen = False
.RefreshStyle = xlInsertDeleteCells
.SavePassword = False
.SaveData = True
.AdjustColumnWidth = True
.RefreshPeriod = 0
.TextFilePromptOnRefresh = False
.TextFilePlatform = 1252
.TextFileStartRow = 3
.TextFileParseType = xlDelimited
.TextFileTextQualifier = xlTextQualifierDoubleQuote
.TextFileConsecutiveDelimiter = False
.TextFileTabDelimiter = False
.TextFileSemicolonDelimiter = True
.TextFileCommaDelimiter = False
.TextFileSpaceDelimiter = False
.TextFileColumnDataTypes = Array(1, 1, 1, 1, 9, 1, 9, 1, 1, 1, 1, 9, 9, 9, 9, 9)
.TextFileTrailingMinusNumbers = True
.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False
End With


I do not want the file part to be hardcoded.
