    Automations and comparisons with VBA

    I have a spreadsheet that saves automatically every day with the file name format "yyyy-mm-dd file.xlsx" into a specific file location "C:\Users\OST"

    Each day the spreadsheet will have new data added. But I would like to see the changes that have happened from day to day.

    Here's my thoughts:
    1. Can I automatically have a macro that will take the data on the newest file and create a sheet with the name of the file as the sheet name?
    2. Can I have some kind of formatting or alert that tells me the specific data that is different from the previous day's data?
    3. Is there a better solution that I haven't thought about?

    Thanks for any and all assistance!

    The automatic answer to your 3 thoughts?, especially for the third one is YES!.
    Now, if you want to know how, you need to be more specific, and post a data sample:
    .- do you work on a blank template or over a "yesterday's" book.
    .- how is your data arranged
    .- do you only add data or add/change
    .- etc.
    Barriers are there for those who don't want to dream
