Selecting similar rows out of several sheets/workbooks and compiling into one sheet

[CapnSef]

I receive auto-generated daily reports on various sales metrics on an associate/daily level. I need to be able to specify an associate via their unique parameters (store number + last name + first name, for instance) and have a macro go through my reports from each day pulling their one line and dropping them into another sheet for analysis. I don't know if I should get each report into one workbook (copy all the sheets into one workbook?) or if (since the sheet name is the same across all workbooks) a macro could just go through every XLS in a folder.

The only other thing I need it to do is differentiate where each line came from - in a static location on every workbook is the generation date, so if when it pulls an associate from 1/17's report and drops it into the summary sheet it puts the date next to them it'd be perfect.

I'm versed in Java, however databasing and VBA is very new to me so pardon me if I've made any crazy assumptions.

Attached is a sample with names deleted; the one thing that might make it tricky is when I get the reports its usually a two-sheet thing; theres a rolling MTD page I don't use or care about in each real XLS. However, the sheet I want data from is always named Sheet1.
