     End Function

    Re: Open 5 workbooks to make a report

    If I was going to make a report from 60 worksheets (12 sheets in 5 workbooks) or more, I'd first consolidate all the data into a single worksheet so all standard builtin functions and features could be applied against that single database.

    'WORKBOOKS TO 1 SHEET STACKED
    Here's a macro for collecting data from all files in a specific folder.Further down on that page is a "option" showing you how to add in code to cycle through multiple sheets in each opened workbook, you'll need to add that in at the correct spot.
