    Lightbulb Cannot prevent duplicate entries from being uploaded into excel database during CSV import

    Hi,

    I am new to VBA code and this forum has been very helpful to me however I am struggling to find a solution to my latest problem anywhere...please can you help?!

    I am currently using the code below to import a CSV file into an excel sheet call 'Raw Data'. I would like to update this code to prevent a CSV file being uploaded to 'Raw Data' if cell A4 in the CSV file matches an existing entry within column A of the 'Raw Data' sheet. If a record already exists then a message should be displayed saying something like "Record already exists, data has not been imported"

    For reference I attach a copy

    Hi, walkerg1983,

    Your post does not comply with Rule 1 of our Forum RULES. Your post title should accurately and concisely describe your problem, not your anticipated solution.

    Use terms appropriate to a Google search. Poor thread titles, like Please Help, Urgent, Need Help, Formula Problem, Code Problem, and Need Advice will be addressed according to the OP's experience in the forum: If you have less than 10 posts, expect (and respond to) a request to change your thread title. If you have 10 or more posts, expect your post to be locked, so you can start a new thread with an appropriate title.

    To change a Title on your post, click EDIT then Go Advanced and change your title, if 2 days have passed ask a moderator to do it for you.

    (This thread should receive no further responses until this moderation request is fulfilled, as per Forum Rule 7)

    Ciao,
