Default The Great Gatsby- Importing multiple external data files

Hi,

I am new to programming in excel so please bear with me. I am trying
to write some code to automate the external data import of multiple
files. I have recorded the following macro to give me some idea of
where to start but i need help on how to finish


Here is the code I have

With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _
"TEXT;C:\Users\otto\Desktop\Pool Volume Data\house1",
Destination:= _
Range("A1"))
.Name = "house1" <-- This is the name of the file that will
change i.e (house1,house2,house3)
.FieldNames = True
.RowNumbers = False
.FillAdjacentFormulas = False
.PreserveFormatting = True
.RefreshOnFileOpen = False
.RefreshStyle = xlInsertDeleteCells
.SavePassword = False
.SaveData = True
.AdjustColumnWidth = True
.RefreshPeriod = 0
.TextFilePromptOnRefresh = False
.TextFilePlatform = 437
.TextFileStartRow = 1
.TextFileParseType = xlDelimited
.TextFileTextQualifier = xlTextQualifierDoubleQuote
.TextFileConsecutiveDelimiter = True
.TextFileTabDelimiter = True
.TextFileSemicolonDelimiter = False
.TextFileCommaDelimiter = False
.TextFileSpaceDelimiter = True
.TextFileColumnDataTypes = Array(1, 1, 1)
.TextFileTrailingMinusNumbers = True
.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False
End With
End Sub

I would like to have a macro that adds a new sheet to the workbook
and then loops through each of my files (house1 to house 70).

Any help that could be offered would be very much appreciated.

Sincerely,
Rambo
