Default Combining Files

I got this code from google. It almost does exactly what I need but there is one problem. What I have is in a direstiry I have a number of files, I won't know their names or how many of them, but they are all organized the same way. They each only have one sheet. I need to take all of the files and combine them into one file on one sheet. The problem is some of the columns are empty, however none of the rows are. So my data is continuious by row but not by column. This code copies all of the data in column A onto one sheet but since column B is empty it doesn't get the data from C or D. Is there anyway to change this code to make it work in this situation. (As a side note if this helps, I will know that column R is the last one with data in it.)

Sub Consolidate()
With Application
.DisplayAlerts = False
.EnableEvents = False
.ScreenUpdating = False
End With

With Application.FileSearch
.NewSearch
'Change this to your directory
.LookIn = ThisWorkbook.Path & "\Files\Data\"
.SearchSubFolders = False
.FileType = msoFileTypeExcelWorkbooks
If .Execute() 0 Then
Set basebook = Workbooks.Open(.FoundFiles(1))
For i = 2 To .FoundFiles.Count
Set mybook = Workbooks.Open(.FoundFiles(i))
Range("A1").CurrentRegion.Copy _
basebook.Worksheets(1).Range("a1").End(xlDown).Off set(1, 0)
mybook.Close
Next i
basebook.SaveAs _
Application.GetSaveAsFilename("Consolidated file.xls")
End If
End With

With Application
.DisplayAlerts = True
.EnableEvents = True
.ScreenUpdating = True
End With


End Sub

I would appreciate any help or advice that anyone can give me on this.
