    vba help to open excel files from a list and capture values from the individual files

    Hi ,
    I have an excel file where Column A contains a list of paths to various other Excel files.

    E.g
    c:\file1.xls
    d:\file2.xls
    c:\folder\file3.xls

    I want a macro that opens each file in the list and picks the value in cell A1 of each excel file and populates another excel file with the values in A1.

    Hello jb2009,

    Welcome to the Forum!

    This macro will examine the workbook the macro is in for the file list. The list is assumed to be "Sheet1" starting with cell "A1". Each workbook will be opened and the contents of cell "A1" on the first sheet in the workbook will be copied into a new workbook starting at cell "A1" on the first sheet. If have any problems, let me know.
