Okay,
Basic information that I feel will be important to solving this issue.
1. I am using a redlion production datalogger that is writing a new .csv file daily it collects data every hour and writes it to an IP directory (HTML) and dumps every 24 hours to a folder on a local server. At both of these location the file type is a .csv. Example of the files would be as follows first link\14012900.csv second link\14013000.csv third link\14013100.csv etc...
2. I want to create an .xlsm(macro enabled workbook) I intend to manipulate the data once imported to excel. I want this .xlsm to refresh upon opening and every few minutes. I want the excel spreadsheet to be able to import each file that is created daily without having interaction with the spreadsheet user.
*I have tried to create a "From Text" data connection referencing the link\*.csv and this only will open the first file created and none of the others on the HTML directory yet it opens none of the files if I use the path to the drive folder.
3. I am currently writing a macro using a for each loop to try and get the data I need every day but this is proving time consuming and there must be an easier and more simple option for this.
Note: I have been told that an SQL server is not an option, even though I think this may be our easiest route of attack.
I appreciate all responses whether they are a solution or even just some pointers that might be some help, Thanks!!!
