Introduction: The Problem with Data Importing in Excel

Importing data into Excel is a common task, especially when dealing with CSV files. However, what do you do when you want to append new data instead of replacing existing data? If you've ever faced the scenario where your new CSV data overwrites your previous entries in the same column, you know how frustrating it can be.

In this guide, we will discuss how to efficiently import CSV files into the next empty cell in a specific column—in this case, Column U of your Excel sheet—using VBA (Visual Basic for Applications). This allows you to seamlessly build a list without losing previously imported entries.

Solution: Step-by-Step Instructions

Here's a detailed breakdown of how to modify your existing VBA code to achieve this task:

Step 1: Open the File Dialog

The first step is to prompt the user to select a CSV file. This part of the code remains the same:

Step 3: Paste into the Next Empty Cell

Now comes the crucial part: pasting the copied data into the next empty cell in Column U. You can find the last used cell in Column U and offset by one row to paste the new data:

Conclusion

By following these steps, you can effortlessly import data from any CSV file into the next empty cell in Column U of your Excel sheet. This method prevents overwriting existing data and allows you to build a comprehensive list efficiently.

Now, whenever you're faced with a new CSV file that needs to be added, you can automatically append the data instead of replacing what’s there! Don't forget to test your new code thoroughly to ensure it meets your needs.
