    Collate data from multiple sheets

    Hi there, sorry if this has been asked, I am not sure on the phrasing.

    We have sent out a very simple excel feedback form. The user picks from dissatisfied through to sattisfied on a variety of questions and the choices are being placed on a hidden 'answers' sheet in row B

    So far we have had 120 responses and I am in the process of opening each excel sheet, unhiding the answer sheet, copying row B, going into another sheet for collation and pasting values in the next line down.

    I occurs to me there must be an easier way, as I am expecting hundreds more. The problem is the excel sheet is coming in on email so most of them will be identically named. I wondered if there was a way in the collation sheet to look at currently open documents, copy the line a from the answrs sheet and paste it into the next empty line on the collation sheet. I would then make sure I only had the next feedback open in excel, Once done, close that and open the next one.

    Could someone help me out on this?

    Many thanks, Gary

    Hi,

    It sounds like you are repeating the same process over and over again. You could record a macro to perform this task.

    Have you done a recorded macro before?

    Can you record the process and insert it into a reply, myself and other forum contributers may be able to help you automate it further or just assist with how to run it?
    Regards

    I have recorded macros before but not to be used of multiple sheets and its here I am a little confused.

    Presumbly I would fit the macro into the collation file then hit run, but how will I tell it to pink up the other open sheet?

    I will record it and send it on up.
