    Question Extract data from multiple workbooks into one data table

    Hi,

    I have approx 400 excel files which contain a variety of data but I want to extract 7 particular cells of data from each and create a simple table of this data in a new workbook (7 columns x 400 rows). Can anyone show me a quick way of doing this. I'm sure it can be done but I cannot find a simple solution anywhere.

    All 400 files are saved in "C:\Documents\Data Extraction"

    Cell references are as follows.

    PIN - I10
    Start Easting - D12
    Start Northing - F12
    End Easting - H12
    End Northing - J12:K12 (Merged cell)
    Safety Score - D128
    Total Score - I129

    Any help would be much appreciated.

    This may get what you want. It looks in the directory for Excel files of any type. The assumption is that the data is on the first sheet of the files in the directory. I don't have any source files, so the code is untested. There might be an issue with the merged cell. If it's a problem let me know.

    One spreadsheet to rule them all. One spreadsheet to find them. One spreadsheet to bring them all and at corporate, bind them.

    A picture is worth a thousand words, but a sample spreadsheet is more likely to be worked on.

    Thank you dflak.

    Sorry, I forgot to mention the data is on Sheet 2, renamed to "Pavement SAR"

    Can the code be changed to look on sheet 2 instead? I would send a source file but they are quite large.

    You have a choice. Change this line
    Set shS = xlFile.Sheets(1)
    to
    Set shS = xlFile.Sheets(2)
    or better yet
    Set shS = xlFile.Sheets("Pavement SAR")
