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!

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.

The solution posted by Bernie works great for me when combining the 1st sheet
of multiple workbooks. But, how can it be modified to combine the 2nd sheet
of several excel workbooks?

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

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?

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!

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 ?

Hi Ron

I have run the RDB Merge Ad-in, to merge 95 Excel files. There is just 1
problem, it merged the files and data, but the fill colours of the cells are
now "no fill" and that is the most important part of my merge! How do I do
the merge and make sure that the cell fill colours are also duplicated?

Thanks
Babs

Hi Bernie,

I tried the code and it opens every file in my folder succesfully. The
problem I am having is that each new file overrides the contents of the prior
file. At the end of the macro, I am only able to see the headers...which are
the headers for 3 files...
Is there a property on my worksheet that I need to set?

Here is how I did it:

1. I open the macro editor and (in excel , book1)
2. inserted a MODULE, copied your code, change the code and ran the code.

Here is how I chance your code:
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 = "S:\Lsshare\Bankruptcy\Closeouts\"
.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

End If
End With

Bernie's code works for me but I have two questions:
It works in a new worksheet (as directed) when I tried to move it to
Personal.xls, I can't get it to work. It runs with a blank result. Is this
pilot error or is there a fix?

Can the code be modified to combine .csv files?

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,

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!

In the process of helping clients manage their spreadsheets I have developed
a web application that loads, organizes and reports upon a portfolio of
spreadsheets.
This application is not yet being offered as a "product" or "service" but I
invite you to check it out at http://www.spreadsheetmanagement.com/
I may be able to help you extract the information you need.
