Default how to combine several files, all with same columns, into one

Thank you very much, Bernie!

Landa,

Assumptions a data starts in cell A1, the table is contiguous, is on the first sheet of the
workbook, and all 100 files are in one folder. Also, the total in all files is less than 65536 rows
of data.

Copy the macro below into a codemodule of a new workbook, change the path where indicated, and run
it. When it is done, save the workbook.

HTH,

Sub Consolidate()
Dim myBook As Workbook
Dim myCalc As XlCalculation
Dim myShtName As String

With Application
.EnableEvents = False
.DisplayAlerts = False
myCalc = .Calculation
.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
End With

On Error Resume Next
With Application.FileSearch
.NewSearch
'Change this to your directory
.LookIn = "C:\Excel\Files to combine"
.SearchSubFolders = False
.FileType = msoFileTypeExcelWorkbooks
If .Execute() 0 Then
For i = 1 To .FoundFiles.Count
Set myBook = Workbooks.Open(.FoundFiles(i))
myBook.Worksheets(1).Range("A1").CurrentRegion.Cop y _
ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1).Range("A65536").End(xlUp)(2 )
myBook.Close False
Next i
Else: MsgBox "There were no files found."
End If
End With
With Application
.EnableEvents = True
.DisplayAlerts = True
.Calculation = myCalc
End With

End Sub

Let say there is 3 excel files. Each file has one sheet and the same columns,
e.g. column A: product name
column B: description
Column C: Price

How can I combine all the 3 sheets in different files into one sheet of a
new file?
I don't want to copy and paste, because in reality, I have more than 100
files like this.

Thank you!
