Copy worksheet to all workbooks in specified folder

Hi All,

I need some help.

Another person places files in a folder (up to 100) each week. I need to copy a worksheet from a workbook into multiple workbooks in the folder previously mentioned.

I have not started writing the code because I do not know how to systematically open files in a wb one at a time and make a change.

Thanks for the help

BTW - The file names change each week with no consistency

Hello nosstech,

Before I or anyone can help you, there are some questions that need to be answered first:

1. What version of Excel are you using
2. Are these the only Excel files in the folder?
3. What is the name of the sheet to be copied?
4. Is the entire sheet to be copied or only part(s) of it?
5. Will this sheet be placed before or after a specific sheet?

Sincerely,
Leith Ross

1. What version of Excel are you using - 2003

Hello nosstech,

You made need to change some variables in this macro before it will run correctly. You will need to add the folder location where the workbooks are stored. Check the name of the worksheet "Sheet1". I entered it as "Sheet1" rather than "Sheet 1" as you had it. These are marked in red.
