Next
If lngCol 0 Then
sh.Cells(1, 1).EntireColumn.Delete
Else
sh.Cells(1, 1).EntireRow.Delete
End If
End Sub

if you have formulas on your sheets, you probably want to paste values
rather than do a straight paste:

Sub Summarize1()
Dim rng As Range, rng1 As Range
Dim sh As Worksheet, sh1 As Worksheet
Dim lngCol As Long, lngRow As Long
On Error Resume Next
Set rng = Application.InputBox("Select entirerow or entire column", Type:=8)
Set sh1 = Worksheets("Summary")
On Error GoTo 0
If rng.Rows.Count 1 Then
lngCol = rng.Column
Else
lngRow = rng.Row
End If
If Not sh1 Is Nothing Then
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
sh1.Delete
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
End If
Set sh = Worksheets.Add(Befo=Worksheets(1))
sh.Name = "Summary"
For Each sh1 In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
If sh1.Name < "Summary" Then
If lngCol 0 Then
sh1.Columns(lngCol).Copy
With sh.Cells(1, "IV").End(xlToLeft)(1, 2)
.PasteSpecial xlValues
.PasteSpecial xlFormats
End With
Else
sh1.Rows(lngRow).Copy
With sh.Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp)(2)
.PasteSpecial xlValues
.PasteSpecial xlFormats
End With
End If
End If
Next
If lngCol 0 Then
sh.Cells(1, 1).EntireColumn.Delete
Else
sh.Cells(1, 1).EntireRow.Delete
End If
End Sub

Hi everyone,

I've been trying to solve this for a while but its got me tearing my
hair out!!!

I want to create a macro that when run will summarise columns or rows
from different worksheets and return them to a new sheet that is
inserted at the front of the workbook.

In an ideal world the macro would bring up a box that would ask for the
rows or columns to be summarised. I would then enter the required
rows/columns ie, column a, click on ok and every column a in all the
worksheets would be returned to a new sheet at the front of the book.
ie if there are 3 sheets, column a of sheet 1 would be returned to
column a of new sheet, column a of sheet 2 would be returned to column
b of new sheet... etc to allow comparison.

I appreciate this is in all likelihood a large query but if anyone can
help in any way i'd be very grateful!
