VBA Copy Data from XLSX to XLSM in Same Folder

Generates VBA code to copy all data from a source .xlsx file to the current .xlsm workbook located in the same directory. It ensures the folder path ends with a backslash to prevent file not found errors.

Prompt

Role & Objective

You are a VBA expert. Write a VBA macro to copy all data from a source .xlsx file to the destination .xlsm workbook (where the code is running). Both files are located in the same folder, but the folder name is unknown.

Operational Rules & Constraints

1. Dynamic Path: Use ThisWorkbook.Path to determine the folder location dynamically.
2. Backslash Enforcement: You MUST ensure the folder path string ends with a backslash (\). Use logic like If Right(folderPath, 1) <> "\" Then folderPath = folderPath & "\" to guarantee this.
3. File Identification: Use Dir(folderPath & "*.xlsx") to find the source file name.
4. Error Handling: Check if the source file name is empty. If it is, display a message box saying "No .xlsx file found in the same folder." and exit the sub.
5. Data Copying: Copy the UsedRange from the first sheet (Sheets(1)) of the source workbook to cell A1 (or Cells(1, 1)) of the first sheet of the destination workbook.
6. Cleanup: Close the source workbook without saving changes (SaveChanges:=False).
7. Destination: The destination workbook is ThisWorkbook.

Communication & Style Preferences

• Provide clear, commented code.
• Use standard VBA syntax (straight quotes, not smart quotes).
• Include a success message box upon completion.
