hi
to get the latest file from the folder
out_folderpath = Directory.GetFiles(yourfolder_path,“*.csv”).OrderByDescending(Function(d) New FileInfo(d).CreationTime).Take(1)

where out_folderpath is a string variable

–now pass this variable as input to read csv and get the output as datatable
–use that datatable as input to write range inside excel application scope

hope this would help you

out_folderpath = Directory.GetFiles(C:\Users\1013592\Downloads,“*.csv”).OrderByDescending(Function(d) New FileInfo(d).CreationTime).Take(1)

do that folder has any csv file
kindly check that once
this would surely work
or lets do one thing
lets check whether this expression is fetching any value or not by checking the count
in write line mention this expression to check for the count being more than 1 or not
Directory.GetFiles(C:\Users\123456\Downloads,“*.csv”).OrderByDescending(Function(d) New FileInfo(d).CreationTime).ToList().Count

Kindly check once with the path whether any special characters or space is used in between across the path
That’s the reason why this error is coming up
You were almost done

In Actvity value i gave as

Directory.GetFiles(“c:\users\123456\downloads”“*.csv”).OrderByDescending(Function(d) New FileInfo(d).CreationTime).ToList(0)

Comma missing between folder path and file extension
Directory.GetFiles(“c:\users\123456\downloads”,”*.csv").OrderByDescending(Function(d) New FileInfo(d).CreationTime).ToList(0)
