Default Importing multiple text files to 1 spreadsheet

If you want each txt file in another column Try this example
Change the folder in this code line in the macro

'Fill in the path\folder where the files are
MyPath = "C:\Users\Ron\test"

This example copy 2000 cells


Sub Example()
Dim MyPath As String, FilesInPath As String
Dim MyFiles() As String
Dim SourceCcount As Long, Fnum As Long
Dim mybook As Workbook, BaseWks As Worksheet
Dim sourceRange As Range, destrange As Range
Dim Cnum As Long, CalcMode As Long

'Fill in the path\folder where the files are
MyPath = "C:\Users\Ron\test"

'Add a slash at the end if the user forget it
If Right(MyPath, 1) < "\" Then
MyPath = MyPath & "\"
End If

'If there are no txt files in the folder exit the sub
FilesInPath = Dir(MyPath & "*.txt")
If FilesInPath = "" Then
MsgBox "No files found"
Exit Sub
End If

'Fill the array(myFiles)with the list of txt files in the folder
Fnum = 0
Do While FilesInPath < ""
Fnum = Fnum + 1
ReDim Preserve MyFiles(1 To Fnum)
MyFiles(Fnum) = FilesInPath
FilesInPath = Dir()
Loop

'Change ScreenUpdating, Calculation and EnableEvents
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)
Cnum = 1

'Loop through all files in the array(myFiles)
If Fnum 0 Then
For Fnum = LBound(MyFiles) To UBound(MyFiles)
Set mybook = Nothing
On Error Resume Next

Workbooks.OpenText Filename:=MyPath & MyFiles(Fnum), Origin:=xlWindows, StartRow _
:=1, DataType:=xlDelimited, TextQualifier:=xlDoubleQuote, _
ConsecutiveDelimiter:=False, Tab:=False, Semicolon:=False, Comma:=True, _
Space:=False, Other:=False


Set mybook = ActiveWorkbook
On Error GoTo 0

If Not mybook Is Nothing Then

On Error Resume Next
Set sourceRange = mybook.Worksheets(1).Range("A1:A2000")

If Err.Number 0 Then
Err.Clear
Set sourceRange = Nothing
Else
'if SourceRange use all rows then skip this file
If sourceRange.Rows.Count = BaseWks.Rows.Count Then
Set sourceRange = Nothing
End If
End If
On Error GoTo 0

If Not sourceRange Is Nothing Then

SourceCcount = sourceRange.Columns.Count

If Cnum + SourceCcount = BaseWks.Columns.Count Then
MsgBox "Sorry there are not enough columns in the sheet"
BaseWks.Columns.AutoFit
mybook.Close savechanges:=False
GoTo ExitTheSub
Else

'Copy the file name in the first row
With sourceRange
BaseWks.Cells(1, Cnum). _
Resize(, .Columns.Count).Value = MyFiles(Fnum)
End With

'Set the destrange
Set destrange = BaseWks.Cells(2, Cnum)

'we copy the values from the sourceRange to the destrange
With sourceRange
Set destrange = destrange. _
Resize(.Rows.Count, .Columns.Count)
End With
destrange.Value = sourceRange.Value

Cnum = Cnum + SourceCcount
End If
End If
mybook.Close savechanges:=False
End If

Next Fnum
BaseWks.Columns.AutoFit
End If

ExitTheSub:
'Restore ScreenUpdating, Calculation and EnableEvents
With Application
.ScreenUpdating = True
.EnableEvents = True
.Calculation = CalcMode
End With

End Sub

How can i import up to 100 files into the same spreadsheet from:

Filename1.txt

Freq [Hz] dBSPL Phase [Deg]
20.00 116.25 -101.80
20.56 115.78 -73.43
21.13 115.11 -46.75
21.71 113.43 -10.13
22.32 111.14 11.57
22.94 107.99 12.61
23.58 104.44 -0.59
24.23 103.51 -17.97

Filename2.txt

Freq [Hz] dBSPL Phase [Deg]
20.00 114.85 -87.46
20.56 114.33 -114.88
21.13 113.59 -138.83
21.71 111.82 -170.68
22.32 109.53 169.09
22.94 106.39 154.78
23.58 103.27 138.49
24.23 102.07 127.61

ETC...

when done the final spreadsheet looks like this.

Freq [Hz] Filename1 Filename2 Filename3
20 116.25 114.85 112.32
20.56 115.78 114.33 111.84
21.13 115.11 113.59 111.17
21.71 113.43 111.82 109.62
22.32 111.14 109.53 107.61
22.94 107.99 106.39 105.03
23.58 104.44 103.27 102.69
24.23 103.51 102.07 101.7
