Hi Igorek,
See Ron De Bruin's 'Copy cells or sheet from all or some workbooks in a folder' page at: http://www.rondebruin.nl/copy3.htm --- Regards, Norman "igorek" wrote in message ...

This doesn't require you to open the workbooks. Since you have 400, I would
think the workbook open/copy/close approach will be rather klunky. I just wrote this for you just now and havn't had occasion to use it so can't confirm its reliability. Suggest you give it a shot.

retrieve cell value from the cosed file
The thought occurred to me that, after obtaining the values by formulae, you
should convert them to values so that they are no longer linked. Suggested is this: Sub GetValsByFormula() Dim FNs As Variant Dim FN As String, Pth As String Dim i As Integer Dim r As Range On Error GoTo ExitProc FNs = Application.GetOpenFilename _ ("Excel Files(*.xls), *.xls", MultiSelect:=True) If TypeName(FNs) = "Boolean" Then Exit Sub FN = Dir(FNs(LBound(FNs))) Pth = Left(FNs(LBound(FNs)), Len(FNs(LBound(FNs))) - Len(FN)) For i = 1 To UBound(FNs) FN = Dir(FNs(i)) Cells(i, 1).Formula = "= '" & Pth & "[" & FN & "]Sheet1'!A1" Cells(i, 2).Formula = "= '" & Pth & "[" & FN & "]Sheet1'!B1" Next Set r = Range(Cells(1, 1), Cells(UBound(FNs), 2)) r.Copy r.PasteSpecial (xlPasteValues) Application.CutCopyMode = False ExitProc: End Sub Regards, Greg |

One more tweak. In place of:
r.Copy r.PasteSpecial (xlPasteValues) Application.CutCopyMode = False try instead: r.Value = r.Value Sorry for all the changes. This is all experimental. Never actually done this.
