    Copying data from a large number of workbooks

    Hi,

    I have a few dozen workbooks from each of which I’d like to copy the data in columns A to H of Sheet1 and paste it into a single worksheet. So, for example, the data from the first workbook would go into A1:H50 of the destination sheet, from the second workbook to A51:H100 etc.

    Obviously I could copy the data in each of the worksheets and paste it all into a single worksheet, but I was hoping that someone could please suggest an easier (and less error-prone) solution?

    Thanks very much!

    Are you familiar with VBA? You can easily setup a macro to do all of this for you.

    I'm afraid not.

    Can this be easily done without a macro?

    Thanks

    See the attached.

    I have commented the code pretty well so you can see what I am doing, why I am doing it and what to do with it.

    Let me know if you have any questions.
