Hey All,

I receive a weekly statisical report (in excel) from which data must b
added to an existing monthly report (in excel). After researching an
writing a simple macro, I realized I had no idea what I was doing an
needed dire help. This is what I need the macro to do.

1) Prompt the user to choose which file from which to extract data.
(perhaps a "Application.GetOpenFilename"?)

2) Extract certain cell specific data from a specific worksheet o
spreadsheet #2, and add it to existing cell/worksheet specific data i
spreadsheet #1.

3) Be able to reformat and reuse this macro for other uses. (Once I se
how the macro works, I should be able to figure this out)

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank

This may help some. Without details about what is to be copied where, it is
difficult to address that part of your question.

this opens a workbook, then copies the data from cell "A1" of the
activesheet (of the source workbook) to my destination sheet (Sheet1 - I'm
using the codename for the worksheet). the destination range is column A of
the next available row of the worksheet.


Sub ExtractData()
Dim SourceWkBk As Workbook
Dim DestWkSht As Worksheet
Dim DestRow As Long

On Error Resume Next
Set DestWkSht = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(Sheet1.Index)

If IsEmpty(DestWkSht.UsedRange) Then
DestRow = 1
Else: DestRow = DestWkSht.UsedRange.Rows.Count + 1
End If

If Application.Dialogs(xlDialogOpen).Show Then
Set SourceWkBk = ActiveWorkbook
Else: Exit Sub
End If

SourceWkBk.ActiveSheet.Range("A1").Copy _
DestWkSht.Cells(DestRow, 1)

SourceWkBk.Close

End Sub
