Combining data from cells from several excel sheets to a new sheet
 

Hi,

I have a bunch of excel files, say S101.xls, S102.xls, ... S120.xls. I would
like to combine data from the same cell in each sheet to one table in a new
sheet. How can I do that easily?

Example of the resulting table in a new sheet in a new excel file:
cell b9 of sheet S101.xls - cell f11 sheet S101.xls - cell b25 sheet
S101.xls - etc.
cell b9 of sheet S102.xls - cell f11 sheet S102.xls - cell b25 sheet
S102.xls - etc.
....
cell b9 of sheet S120.xls - cell f11 sheet S120.xls - cell b25 sheet
S120.xls - etc.

Thanks a lot,

Rik

This formula in any cell in a new book will return the value in cell A1 of
Sheet1 of book S101.xls..............

=[S101.xls]Sheet1!A1

Copy and paste and/or adjust the filename, sheet, or cell accordingly to fit
your need..........

Hi CLR,

Thanks for your reply. I am aware of that solution, but (as in my case) with
a large table and a lot of files, changing each cell manually is not
feasible. Unfortunately, Excel does not automatically change the filename
when extending your choice to other cells, as cell references do.

Thanks,

Rik

Hi Ron,

This was very useful. Thanks a lot. I adapted it a bit so it can do
translation from source file column to destination file row and it can do
more copies from the same source file. I enclosed my sloppy code (havily
relying on yours) below for information, maybe it is useful for others.

Thanks again,

Rik
