Extract attached document from Email and Copy-Paste it to Excel

Good evening,
I've recently attended the beginner/intermediate VBA training course and have questions concerning the extraction of attached document from Email and Copy/Paste them into Excel to be analysed.
Indeed, on a daily basis I receive a series of reports which contain a PDF document. These report all contains today's date and I'd like to extract this PDF document from the Email open it, select all document, copy paste it into a worksheet in Excel and do the same for another day in a different worksheet and so on for the week, them my Macro will do the rest.
Can you please tell me if there is an application/code which can extract PDF document from email and copy-paste it into Excel?
Thank you in advance,
Regards,
Josselin Coupier

Hi Joss

Thanks for getting in touch. Good to hear from you again.

This should be possible but it's probably easier to initiate this code from Outlook. You can manipulate all Office applications with VBA. The majority of structures are the same (IF THEN, DO LOOP etc) but the objects will be different (instead of ActiveCell you will have MailItem etc).

This is quite a broad topic. You've got two parts here: (1) get the attachment from the email (2) extract to Excel. I have a few links that might help:

Also Ron DeBruin's site has many examples for working with this:

Read up on the subject and let me know if you have a specific issue.

Kind regards

VBA tip:

Display Text In a Msgbox On Multiple Lines

When displaying text in a MsgBox you may need to show it over multiple lines. To do this use:

vbCrLf

As in:

MsgBox "The System has detected an error." & vbCrLf & "Contact your System Administrator"

The first sentence in quotes will appear above the second in the MsgBox.
