Patrick, not being a frequent writer of Excel macros I'm not a guru when it
comes to reading them. Perhaps you can tell me if this sampale will do what
I'm looking for.

I frequently have a set of CSV files; no specific number but they would be a
range (e,g., LD011 to LD055) in a folder or I could move the ones I want to a
folder. The fields are truly comma seperated.

I want to load them all into one spreadsheed, with each in its own page,
ideally with the file name being used to set the name on the page tab.

It isn't unusual to have 50 to 100 of these in one set, so doing this
manually importing one at a time, renaming the tab, etc. is boring, time
consuming and prone to errors. Merging all the files into one and impporting
that is a non-starter.

Your sample code would likely take some change to at least handle the tab
label thing, but would it do the importing of the CSVs into individual pages?

I've seen discussions here on this basic subject and your name pops up
frequently in addressing the questions.

Any insiight would be appreciated!

I have some csv files. How many is not known and the amount of data on them
vary - but they all have trhe same format (same number of colums).

I will need to import all the data on those file one by one to an excel sheet.

Can that be done even though I dont know how many csv file are there in my
folder?

Many thanks.
