Hi,

We're using excel 2000 on xp pro.

In a folder, we have hundreds of workbooks with data in cells A1, A3,
F9, I38, I44 on the first sheet of each workbook.

Using Ron DeBruin's sub Basic_Example_1 copies the data from the first
worksheet in each workbook, as I require, however, I don't know how
to get the data only the data from cells A1, A3, F9, I38, I44?


Thanks,

Dan Dungan


This code shown below sets the range in the the section--

With mybook.Worksheets(1)
Set sourceRange = .Range(A1, A3, F9, I38, I44)

Thanks, Ron.

That works!

It turns out that the data is not always on the first sheet. I'm
working with workbooks created by another person who is no longer
here.

It appears there may be as many a 6 sheets in a workbook. I can run
the macro and change the sheet name or can you suggest a way to
collect this regardless of how many sheets are in each workbook?

Thanks again,

Dan

Hi Dan

I see if I have time tomorrow to make a example for you.

To be sure you want the cells from each sheet that is in each workbook
Am I correct ?

Bed time now for me

Hi Ron,

My last reply doesn't seem to have gone through.

Thanks for your time and attention.

The procedure at http://www.rondebruin.nl/summary2.htm works.

However, the person who designed these worksheets used different
conventions over the years, and I need to look on each sheet in the
workbook. Please suggest how I might do that.

Thanks,
Dan

Hi Ron,

It would also be useful if I could capture the worksheet name for each
row.

Thanks,

Wow!

I don't know what else to say, except I must study this until I
understand it.

Thank you very much, Ron!

Thank you very much, Ron!
You are welcome

I will clean it up a bit and add it to my site when I have time
