    Copy Data from One Sheet in Multiple Workbooks into Multiple Sheets in One Workbook

    Hi All,

    I need some help getting a macro to run.

    I have a number of workbooks that I need to copy data from and place it in one workbook. The data in each source workbook is contained in one worksheet, but the size of the range (including starting cell) may be different each time. I want this data to be pasted into a new worksheet in the destination workbook for each source workbook. Ideally I'd like these not to be created each time as I will be using these sheets to generate pivot data and I'm not sure how the table/formula will react if the sheets are deleted/created each time the data is updated.

    I have gotten to a point where the macro will run and copy one or two worksheets worth of data in but breaks down giving a 'Run-time error '7': Out of memory' message. I assume this is to do with too much data being held on the clipboard, or the size of my copy/pastes due to the dynamic ranges.

    I'd be very grateful if you would have a look at the vba I've got so far. I took this from an MSDN page I think (sorry, I lost the source) and have butchered it from there, so apologies if it's horrific, I am very much a novice at this. If anyone can suggest an alternative way to write this, I'd be very happy to see it.

    Perhaps something like this?

    I've used your path but as this is a system disk I've had no chance to test if this works. Testing with a folder on a local disk on my PC works ok so you could try to add 3 - 4 to a folder on you local disk and run the macro "ProcessAllFiles" to see if the result produced is what you wanted. When changing folder name in macro dont forget to add the last "\" i.e. a macro with sPath given as "C:\test" will not work the correct string name is "C:\test\"

    The name "Master.xlsm" is hard coded in the macro so if you wish to chang this name you must change it in the macro as well.

    Alf, thanks for all this, I'll check it out at work today.

    I meant to remove the file path before posting (have now edited). Would you mind removing the file path from your posts?

    Cheers

    Re: Copy Data from One Sheet in Multiple Workbooks into Multiple Sheets in One Workbook

    Alf,

    I've now had a chance to text this and it works pretty well, the only thing I'd like to change is that your code adds the data in as new sheets, where I'd like it to be pasted on existing sheets so the formulas that look at it will be preserved.

    My sheets are named A-M and are in index positions 4-16. Am I able to change this part of your code to make this happen?

    If you cut out the part as you have shown in post #7 then all copied results will be pasted to the active sheet on the target file but this is probably not what you wish fore.

    Could you explain a bit in more detail how you wish to paste the values in sheet A-M and index positions 1-6.

    Could the file names you extract data from be used in pasting to the "right" A-M sheet? Or is there no structure in the name?

    I actually figured itout this afternoon.

    The workbooks I am copying from all have titles prefixed with a letter corresponding to the sheet I want them pasted into (A-M). by changing your code to the below I managed to get it to work.
