I found this macro online under the site below that seems to be what I want,
but it isn't working out for me b/c A1 isn't my header row. In the files I
have row 4 is the universal header, row 5 on is the data. Rows 1-3 have data
in merged cells that should only appear once at the top of the compiled
workbook.

Please advise how you think I can get it to work.

Thanks in advance.
