collate rows from several files into one new master file
Hi,
Can anyone please help. I have several different, single sheet spreadsheets and I need a way to collate these into one single Master spreadsheet, one row per sheet under the next and i need this to be automated either via macro or VBA. For Example: The empty Master spreadsheet has headings only. Lets say HeadingA, HeadingB through to HeadingZ for column Z. Now I have 3 single sheet .xls's: The first one has data in HeadingA, HeadingB and HeadingK The second has data in HeadingA, HeadingK, M and Q The third has data in A, M Q R and T Effectively, each original .xls will need to become a row entry in the Master.xls (one under the other) I hope I've explained this fairly simply. (In reality these small.xls' are Timesheets that employees complete. and several thousand need to be processed every Friday into one Master.xls. Thats why I need some automation). I am familiar with Access VBA so I can adopt a simplistic answer (using the above example) to my needs. Many thanks. |

I'd start by reading Ron de Bruin's web page for combining workbooks/worksheets:
