Importing CSV Files into Excel Using VBA: A Complete Guide

Working with CSV files and Excel is common in data analysis and reporting. Many users prefer to extract data from CSV files into Excel for further manipulation. In this guide, we’ll address a common issue faced while trying to import a CSV file using VBA: only importing the first row of the data. We’ll provide a detailed solution to this problem, allowing you to effectively import your entire CSV file into Excel.

The Problem: Importing Only the First Row

You may have experienced a frustrating situation where you've written a VBA script to open a dialog, select a CSV file, and import its data into Excel. However, upon execution, your code only seems to pull in the first row of the CSV file. This can happen for various reasons, but it typically relates to how the rows and ranges are being referenced in your script.

The Solution: Updating the Code
