    Red face Multiple Workbooks to one 'Master Workbook'

    Hi all,

    I would like to be able to auto transfer Cols A & B from multiple workbooks to one main Master Workbook (again just to Cols A & B).

    Is this possible?

    Complete dummies guide would be required I think....err...make that for certain.

    Thanks

    Without using code, try this simple option...

    1. open your master and at least 1 of the other sheets
    2. in master, select the cell where you want the "answer" to be, and type =
    3. click on the other workbook, select the cell you want, and press enter
    If the other WB names are similar to the 1st "other" WB, you can copy the formula you just created to where you want it, and adjust the file name accordingly
    4. delete any absoulute references you see in the formula ($), and copy down as far as you need
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you

    Hi FDibbins, thanks for your reply.
    Thought I better show some of the other workbook names and examples of the info in each:

    Workbook name:

    BAK BEST BDH1.csv


    Col A Col B
    4/03/2011 JACOBS SON(GB)
    9/03/2011 ALLANIT(GER)
    10/03/2011 SUNLEY PEACE(GB)

    Workbook name:
    BAK BETS1.csv

    Col A Col B
    2/03/2011 INVINCIBILITY(IRE)
    5/03/2011 POKFULHAM(IRE)
    14/03/2011 ADVANCEMENT(GB)


    I need every cell from both Workbook/Cols input into the Master Workbook Cols A & B.

    Could you show me the exact formula for this please.

    Thanks
    Hammer

    hmm you didnt mention that the files you are getting your data from where not other excel workbooks. The only way (that i know) to get .csv data into excel is to import it. Once you get the info into excel, if the data is in another WB, try this formula in your master sheet...

    ='[worksheet_name.xlsx]sheet1'!$A$1
    Altho, it will be easier to just type =, point to the required data and then press enter
