    'WORKBOOKS W/MULTIPLE SHEETS MERGED INTO SHEETS IN CONSOLIDATION WORKBOOK

    Here's a macro for collecting data from all sheets in all files in a specific folder merging into matching sheets.The parts of the code that need to be edited are colored to draw your attention.

    I'm pretty sure all you need to edit is the the fPath string to properly point to where your source files are located. Then edit the fName code to .xlsx.

    I tried that macro, but for some reason it doesn't go to that file path but it opens other random spreadsheets to copy over.

    I'm no networking guru, but you changed to drive U: which sounds like a network drive to me. Perhaps that could be giving you issues. Do you know the network address of the same drive? Not the locally mapped version? That might work better.

    Look at my signature, it shows the proper way to wrap your code in tags. Please edit your post above to use the proper tags. You could also edit out all the code you didn't change since it's already posted in this thread...keep things tidy.

    I changed the fpath to my desktop and it stops at this part of the macro.


    Set wsMain = wbMain.Sheets(wsData.Name)

    When it stops and you DEBUG, hang your mouse over the wsData.Name variable and tell me what the current value is that appears.

    re: Merging multiple workbooks that contain identical tabs:Animal

    wsData.Name = "Advance - Datacomm" (which is the first sheets name on my spreadsheets)

    re: Merging multiple workbooks that contain identical tabs:Animal

    So, the problem is occurring when the macro tries to set the wsMain sheet variable to the sheet Sheets("Advance - Datacomm") in the workbook that is your wbMain, there is something not matching exactly. This is usually hidden spaces or something like that...

    Just edit the post above and delete the content, replace it with a "nevermind" comment.

    Then go to post #1... click EDIT in your original post, click GO ADVANCED and set the PREFIX box to SOLVED.
