    Import Data From Multiple Files Selected By User

    Hello, copying data from a file, or several, when they've different names is not a problem, however, how do I copy data from multiple files (and paste it all one under another) when the names are different each time? The layout inside (columns A to Z) never change though.
    It's not possible to specify file names since it'd cause too much manual work.

    In short, e.g. a user selects 10 files and their contents are imported on a last row +1 basis.

    Your help is greatly appreciated.

    Many thanks!

    Have you tried recording a macro? Maybe see if consolidate method will record. It is then a simple matter to modify it to let the user select files to automate the imports.

    Depending on the data, other methods would work too.

    Attaching a simple example can help us help more easily.
