Here's the code I am running now to copy (for example) data from
survey3.xls into RawData.xls, which works like a charm, but I need it
to then transpose the data as it pastes it into the sheet.

Sub Compile()
Dim basebook As Workbook
Dim mybook As Workbook
Dim sourceRange As Range
Dim destrange As Range
Dim rnum As Long
Dim SourceRcount As Long
Dim FNames As String
Dim MyPath As String
Dim SaveDriveDir As String

SaveDriveDir = CurDir
MyPath = "C:\Documents and Settings\rspidle\Desktop\CNA Survey"
ChDrive MyPath
ChDir MyPath

FNames = Dir("*.xls")
If Len(FNames) = 0 Then
MsgBox "No files in the Directory"
ChDrive SaveDriveDir
ChDir SaveDriveDir
Exit Sub
End If

Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Set basebook = ThisWorkbook
basebook.Worksheets(1).Cells.Clear
'clear all cells on the first sheet
rnum = 0

Do While FNames < ""
If LCase(Left(FNames, 4)) < "survey" Then
Set mybook = Workbooks.Open(FNames)
rnum = rnum + 1
Set sourceRange = mybook.Worksheets(1).Range("I1:I140")
Set destrange = basebook.Worksheets(1).Cells(2, rnum)
basebook.Worksheets(1).Cells(1, rnum).Value = mybook.Name
sourceRange.Copy destrange
mybook.Close False
End If
FNames = Dir()
Loop
ChDrive SaveDriveDir
ChDir SaveDriveDir
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub


Also, is there by any chance an easy pivot table macro out there to
create pivot tables from this data?

Establish some sample/representative data.

turn on the macro recorder and then create the pivottable manually. Then
turn off the macro recorder and look at/adapt the recorded code.

With all the variation of data, I think I'd just record a macro when I did it
manually.

If you want some tips on Pivottable coding, visit Debra Dalgleish's site:

She has lots of stuff under the pivottable section.
