Hi There,

The code below neatly consolidates a specific sheet from a workbook
within a sub-directory into a sheet of the book from which the Macro is
run.

I would like to modify it to in addition to selecting column 2 from the
"analysis" sheet, to also select 3 columns from sheet "abc" and paste
into a NEW sheet (ie not the same sheet that existing macro refers too.

(I could just duplicate the macro, changing the sheet name, but then I
would be forced to open all the workbooks twice, so thats why Im trying
to do it all within one Macro...)

Its a complicated one, and thus I appreciate the help even more!!! Any
ideas...?

Regards

Darin

Thanks Tom... looking good..., but I got a run time error which says
"While renaming a sheet you entered an invalid name"
refers me to line :
sh1.Name = Left(sName, Len(sName) - 4)

Any ideas... ?
(Im not sure that the name of the tab has to be the same as the sheet
which it is opening - ie it can be any name or any sheet, as long as its
not the same as the first sheet..

Kind Regards

Darin

Kinda got it to work by ignoring error line of code, BUT also, I need
the result to be copied to the SAME sheet each time, ie NOT to a new
sheet, ie move one column along and then paste the result, move one
column along and paste the result, etc etc

Should be easy to modify. Move the add to before the loop

keep track of what column you are copying to. Increment after copying.

Tom,

Im by no means a VB expert, so am struggling a bit - according to me the
add is before the loop already, and I dont know what the syntax is for
an increment...

Im just trying to get the second set all to appear in one sheet...:)

Appreciate your continued efforts!!!

Darin
