    VBA code to get file path

    Hi Team,

    I am looking for a VBA code that would ask to select a file and then give its location path in excel column F.

    Thanks,
    Liz.

    This opens a file picker dialog, then writes the path of the selected file into the next empty cell in column F:

    Alternatively, instead of browsing for a specific file, you can just pick a folder:

    let Source = #table({"Question","Thread", "User"},{{"Answered","Mark Solved", "Add Reputation"}}) in Source

    If I give you Power Query (Get & Transform Data) code, and you don't know what to do with it, then CLICK HERE

    Thank you so much Olly for looking into this,

    Below code is useful but need some modifications.

    1) File dialog could select multiple files by using ctrl.
    2) Add data from last available cell , not always 2nd one.
    3) Path should contain complete path as "C:\Documents and Settings\Liz\Desktop\ABC.xlsx"

    Re: VBA code to get file path

    I don't understand your reply, liz.

    1) Are you saying you WANT to allow multiple file selections, and write them all into Column F?
    2) I have no idea what you mean. Please explain.
    3. Simply change this line:
