    Question Recorded a Macro to import Data: having troubles getting macro to work after first time

    Hi there. Excuse me if this thread already exists, I just wasn't able to find a solution quite like I needed.

    Essentially, I want to record a macro that when you press a command button, It imports data from an external excel file that has constantly changing data (essentially a new file is downloaded every single week with different data and renamed to fit the name with which the code is configured around so it'll work with the macro). What I recorded doing is importing data from an excel file and loading it to the current worksheet. Then I stopped recording, and deleted all of the data imported (so the next time I open the file I can import new data). The problem is, when I reopen the file to test it and run the macro, I get a run time error that says query with this sheet name already exists. I'm new to VBA so I don't really understand what that means.

    Any help is appreciated!

    I would attach my code but it contains confidential information so please don't ask!

    Welcome to the Forum,

    1. Attach such an example macro (but change sensitive data in it to keep it confidential)
    2. Give the exact order of the activities you are doing
