    Lightbulb data extraction from multiple files

    Hello,

    Scenario:

    Master.xlsx (sheet 1) in folder 'main' needs to be populated in columns A:F with data from the data in sheet 1 of each of A1.csv, B1.csv, C1.csv (all located in 'source' folder).

    A1.csv (sheet 1) has data from A1:F60
    B1.csv (sheet 1) has data from A1:F142
    C1.csv (sheet 1) has data from A1:F93

    All 3 csv files data need to be copied across to Master.xlsx (sheet 1) in columns A:F REPLACING any data already in the sheet with each set of data under eachother (doesn't matter what order).

    So eventually Master.xlsx (sheet 1) will be populated from A1:F295 (60+142+93) by the end of the process. The process is run each week and the columns of the source date will remain fixed (A:F) but the number of rows will vary (so cannot be fixed).

    I'm aiming to automate this process (can be a manual trigger though).

    Any help appreciated. If I've missed anything please let me know.

    Thanks

    Anush

    Can you use third party software? If so, INDIRECT.EXT will do what you want.
