Have a visual basic macro to parse info from excel sheet
to another excel sheet with consolidated info.
Ex: Parse all of the inventory items from "location
A.xls" to "consolidated inventory.xls" sheet.
Question: how do I get the macro to parse the info from
the sheet I want, whatever that sheets name is. I.E. I
want to parse from "location A.xls" sheet, "location
B.xls" sheet etc. The macro needs to give me the option
of selecting the sheet I want to parse from, or, if I can
use wildcard (*.xls) in the macro, even better.
Thanx

Hi Dennis,


Either select the requisite worksheet and refer to it in your code as:

Activesheet

Alternatively, put up an input box at runtime to feed the sheet name. In
your procedure add something like this:

Dim sh As Variant

Do Until sh < ""
sh = Application.InputBox( _
Prompt:="Please enter name of " _
& "Worksheet to be consolidated", _
Title:="Worksheet Name", _
Type:=2)
If sh = "False" Then Exit Sub 'User Cancelled
Loop

Then, in your code, replace the previously hard-code sheet name with the sh
object variable.
