Hi all,
my problem goes thus:
i get daily production reports in excel template which contains a lot of data, the data relevant to me is in some certain columns. I will like to have a new workbook where i can have those cells into whenever they come. I have a rule in outlook which extracts the attachments to a specified folder. The reports titles come as "DailyReport-020513.xls" . I will like the new work book to have dates and cells copied from all the reports received. So at the end of the month year, i can have a work book containing just that.
thanks for your help ..:help::help::help:
 
thanks for the response,
the sheet names are sheet 1. that is the only sheet contained in each of the reports.
the cells to copy from each sheet.B7:AI8 (which contains the date, or if the date can be gotten off the title.) B19:AL29 ( actual values interested in).
 
Here's some code that you can adapt
