Thread: Append Data to Bottom When Using Combine & Merge Macro

Hi Pike,
Sorry but I can't seem to make the adjustment. I modified the code but now i only get five rows. When I go through it, it's copying Range A:BO and pasting it over the same range.

In short, my code is not going to the next blank row. Any ideas? here is the modified code:

 Sub Consolidate()
' This macro imports (combines) all TSR workbooks into one sheet.

' This defines various objects
    Dim fName As String, fPath As String, fPathDone As String, OldDir As String
    Dim wbkOld As Workbook, wbkNew As Workbook, ws As Worksheet
    Dim LR As Long, NR As Long

' This speeds up the macro.
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
    Application.EnableEvents = False
    Application.DisplayAlerts = False
    Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
            
' This defines that the current workbook is the detination for all the TSR workbooks to be copied too.
    Set wbkNew = ThisWorkbook
    wbkNew.Activate
    Sheets("Invoice Data").Activate
    ActiveSheet.Unprotect
        
' This sets the path of the folder where the TSR workbooks to be imported are stored.
    OldDir = CurDir
    With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)
' The default path is the F drive
        .InitialFileName = ("F:\")
        .Show
        If .SelectedItems.Count > 0 Then
            fPath = .SelectedItems(1)
        Else
            Exit Sub
        End If
    End With
    ChDir fPath
    fName = Dir("*.xl*")

' This imports the first sheet from each TSR workbook in the folder.
    Do While Len(fName) > 0
    Set wbkOld = Workbooks.Open(fName)
    Sheets(1).Activate
' This imports only rows where column BO is not blank.
    LR = Range("BO" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
' This copies only the given range of data from each TSR.
    Range("A8:BP27").Copy
' This pastes values in column A of the destination workbook.
    NR = wbkNew.Sheets("Invoice Data").Range("A8:BP27").End(xlUp).Row + 1
    wbkNew.Sheets("Invoice Data").Range("A" & NR).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
                
' This closes the TSR workbooks and moves on to the next TSR workbook and the next empty row in the destination workbook.
    wbkOld.Close False
    fName = Dir
    Loop

' This clears data in entire rows where Column A (AFG#) is blank.
    Dim myColm As Range
    Set myColm = Columns("A:A")
    On Error Resume Next
    myColm.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks).EntireRow.ClearContents
    Range("A1").Select
    
' This restores the original working path.
    ChDir OldDir
    
' This reprotects the sheet.
    Sheets("Invoice Data").Activate
    ActiveSheet.Protect DrawingObjects:=True, Contents:=True, Scenarios:=True _
        , AllowFormattingCells:=True, AllowFormattingColumns:=True, _
        AllowFormattingRows:=True, AllowFiltering:=True, AllowUsingPivotTables:= _
        True
    
' This resets the settings we changed to speed up the macro.
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
    Application.EnableEvents = True
    Application.DisplayAlerts = True
    Application.Calculation = xlAutomatic

How do I get the code you provided to do a paste value instead of a paste? This step is necessary upon each iteration. If I can get it to paste value then it will be perfect! Thanks so much for your help thus far!

I'm afraid that doesn't work at all. The code you provided before (below) works perfectly...except i need to do a paste value and not a paste...:

Range("A8:BP27").Copy Destination:=wbkNew.Sheets("Invoice Data").Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0)

Woo hoo! That did the trick allright. I had tried something similar but didnt have it correctly written. Thanks so much! this will be a huge help. I wll post final code when i have some other tweaks perfected. Thank you!
