Thanks for the code. I've been trying to figure it out, but I now see that this code again requires one to write down all the names of the files, which is not feasible when there are close to a hundred files. I am pasting a code I found online that I think is what I need, but it's long and harder to understand, so I'm trying to decode it still. A few questions:
What is the purpose of using a module? Can't I just paste my macros into "ThisWorkbook" in VBA instead of a module? Also, how do I put together several macros so they run as one code? For example, if one code is what was original posted Joseph and then I want to combine it with the loop that runs though all the folders, can I have them as separate subs that run at the same time?
Here is the code that I found:
Sub MergeAllWorkbooks()
Dim MyPath As String, FilesInPath As String
Dim MyFiles() As String
Dim SourceRcount As Long, FNum As Long
Dim mybook As Workbook, BaseWks As Worksheet
Dim sourceRange As Range, destrange As Range
Dim rnum As Long, CalcMode As Long
' Change this to the path\folder location of your files.
MyPath = "C:\test"
' Add a slash at the end of the path if needed.
If Right(MyPath, 1) <> "\" Then
MyPath = MyPath & "\"
End If
' If there are no Excel files in the folder, exit.
FilesInPath = Dir(MyPath & "*.xl*")
If FilesInPath = "" Then
MsgBox "No files found"
Exit Sub
End If
' Fill the myFiles array with the list of Excel files
' in the search folder.
FNum = 0
Do While FilesInPath <> ""
FNum = FNum + 1
ReDim Preserve MyFiles(1 To FNum)
MyFiles(FNum) = FilesInPath
FilesInPath = Dir()
Loop
' Set various application properties.
With Application
CalcMode = .Calculation
.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
.ScreenUpdating = False
.EnableEvents = False
End With
' Add a new workbook with one sheet.
Set BaseWks = Workbooks.Add(xlWBATWorksheet).Worksheets(1)
rnum = 1
' Loop through all files in the myFiles array.
If FNum > 0 Then
For FNum = LBound(MyFiles) To UBound(MyFiles)
Set mybook = Nothing
On Error Resume Next
Set mybook = Workbooks.Open(MyPath & MyFiles(FNum))
On Error GoTo 0
If Not mybook Is Nothing Then
On Error Resume Next
' Change this range to fit your own needs.
With mybook.Worksheets(1)
Set sourceRange = .Range("A1:A10")
End With
If Err.Number > 0 Then
Err.Clear
Set sourceRange = Nothing
Else
' If source range uses all columns then
' skip this file.
If sourceRange.Columns.Count >= BaseWks.Columns.Count Then
Set sourceRange = Nothing
End If
End If
On Error GoTo 0
If Not sourceRange Is Nothing Then
SourceRcount = sourceRange.Rows.Count
If rnum + SourceRcount >= BaseWks.Rows.Count Then
MsgBox "There are not enough rows in the target worksheet."
BaseWks.Columns.AutoFit
mybook.Close savechanges:=False
GoTo ExitTheSub
Else
' Copy the file name in column A.
With sourceRange
BaseWks.Cells(rnum, "A"). _
Resize(.Rows.Count).Value = MyFiles(FNum)
End With
' Set the destination range.
Set destrange = BaseWks.Range("B" & rnum)
' Copy the values from the source range
' to the destination range.
With sourceRange
Set destrange = destrange. _
Resize(.Rows.Count, .Columns.Count)
End With
destrange.Value = sourceRange.Value
rnum = rnum + SourceRcount
End If
End If
mybook.Close savechanges:=False
End If
Next FNum
BaseWks.Columns.AutoFit
End If
ExitTheSub:
' Restore the application properties.
With Application
.ScreenUpdating = True
.EnableEvents = True
.Calculation = CalcMode
End With
End Sub
Some of the things I don't understand are these:
' Set various application properties.
With Application
CalcMode = .Calculation
.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
.ScreenUpdating = False
.EnableEvents = False
End With
' Add a new workbook with one sheet.
Set BaseWks = Workbooks.Add(xlWBATWorksheet).Worksheets(1)
rnum = 1
I'm not sure what that adding workbook feature is or what is the purpose of calcmode.
More importantly, this is the other crucial part of the code:
' Copy the values from the source range
' to the destination range.
With sourceRange
Set destrange = destrange. _
Resize(.Rows.Count, .Columns.Count)
End With
destrange.Value = sourceRange.Value
rnum = rnum + SourceRcount
I'm not sure how I can modify this to basically say exactly where I want the copied data to be pasted in the destination file - let's say I want to copy the A1:10 from source (which is already in this code) and paste it to B1:B10, which I am not sure how to do.
