VBA Tutorial: Copying Data from User Selected Files

VBA Tutorial: Copying Data from User Selected Files

In this video I show how to use the GetOpenFilename function to allow users to select the file to open. Then
once the file is selected I show how to copy the data from this file to our current workbook. Most tutorials stop there but I will show you how to optimize this code so that if you are doing serious data analysis you have the fastest and cleanest code possible.
