I've solved all the problems except two:

1. After using the RDB_Filter_Values, my Excel Properties "Calculation"
option is set to "manual".

2. The Autofilters on the files which were combined become
non-functional--they have to be removed and re-installed to make them work
again. I see there is code to prevent that, but it doesn't appear to be
working.

Thanks,
Mike

Okay got it. However, it's still pulling "blank" rows from the files to be
combined. The rows aren't really blank, because there are drop-down menus in
2 columns and conditional formulae in 3 (the formulae make the cell "" when
FALSE). When the drop-downs are set to blank, and the formulae are all
false, the row is blank, but still gets pulled into the combined file.

Using your RDB_Filter_Value macro can make the "blank" lines disappear, but
that macro cannot be used when the files to be combined are Protected, and
this is necessary. Any way around these problems?

Thanks again,
Mike

Yes, I'm using the FSO download. I am using a fixed range because row 1 of
each workbook to be combined is a header row, and I don't want my combined
file to contain every header row from each of the files to be combined. I
will live with that if I have to, though. Thanks for your help!

Do you use a fixed range ?

If you enter StartCell then it will copy till the last cell with data from that cell
Read the info on the webpage


In the "Get_Data" macro in the Get_Data_Macro" module change

'Add a new workbook with one sheet named "Combine Sheet"
Set BaseWks = Workbooks.Add(xlWBATWorksheet).Worksheets(1)
BaseWks.Name = "Combine Sheet"

To

'Use the Activesheet to paste the data
Set BaseWks = Activesheet

I'm using the macro in the Excel file downloaded from your site. Thanks.

Hi Heliocracy

1: Yes that is possible, which macro do you use ?

If you use one from the Dir page then chnage

'Add a new workbook with one sheet
Set BaseWks = Workbooks.Add(xlWBATWorksheet).Worksheets(1)
rnum = 1

To

Set BaseWks = Worksheets("Yoursheet")
rnum = 2


2: Are the blank rows in the data or below the data ?

I'm using your macros as well, but each of the files I'm trying to combine
will have many blank rows on them...is there a way to modify your macros so
that:

1. The combined data can be placed on a worksheet of my choosing, that
already exists, starting on Row 2?
2. Blank rows are ignored when combining, so they don't end up in the
combined worksheet?

Great code BTW, and thanks in advance for your help!

Hello-

I have used this code (trying to do my homework first!) and changed the
path- it looks as though when it runs it opens all of the files and closes
them but does not copy any data into the book1 file that I have opened - what
am I doing wrong here?

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.

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!
