Default Aggregating data

So effectively, your code has no problems and there was no reason to post?

I believe you are wrong on the last point as a minimum, but if you aren't
having any problems, then so be it.

Hi Tom,

thanks for your answers.

I think the problem lies in the way I've used the rg*Destinations. They

are
indeed set every time the sub's run, but I don't want the data I've copied
across in the prior run to be deleted. I've been thinking of naming the
destination ranges with an increment, but this seems laborious.

The use of run, i & j seems unproblematic, since the correct ranges are
selected to paste data into.

Re Run increments: Run is incremented with each new range that's copied

and
I test to ensure multiple source sheets are selected, otherwise there's no
point in aggregating.

Re i and j to determine an offset: i and j are determined by the size of

the
DataRange being copied (rows.count & columns.count respectively), so

account
is taken of differently shaped source ranges.

It looks like placement all hinges on the value of Run and

rgDataDestination
rgDataDestination is set each time the procedure is run. If it never
changes in terms of the cell it points to, then that shouldn't be a

problem.

the other problem would be if run is never incremented.

Now i and j are used to determine an offset. However, if the size of

the
data being copied is different each time, then this could be problematic
since this assumes equal size data.

Hi,

I've put the below code together to aggregate data from a number of
workbooks. (The items not explicitly defined are inputs into the sub,
collected from a userform.)

Problem is: the data copied and pasted from the first source workbook

gets
deleted when data from the second source workbook is copied and

pasted
and
so on. In otherwords, instead of getting a target file with the data
aggregated, only the data from the last source workbook is showing. Is

this
because I use 'Set range'???

Many thanks in advance for your help.

Regards,
JvLin
