Hi,

I need to combine/append the contents of multiple worksheets into a
single worksheet.

I Googled for “excel macro to combine worksheets”, and found the
following macro:

Sub CombineWorksheets()
Dim J As Integer

On Error Resume Next
Sheets(1).Select
Worksheets.Add ' add a sheet in first place
Sheets(1).Name = "Master”

' copy headings
Sheets(2).Activate
Range("A1").EntireRow.Select
Selection.Copy Destination:=Sheets(1).Range("A1")

' work through sheets
For J = 2 To Sheets.Count ' from sheet 2 to last sheet
Sheets(J).Activate ' make the sheet active
Range("A1").Select
Selection.CurrentRegion.Select ' select all cells in this
sheets

' select all lines except title
Selection.Offset(1, 0).Resize(Selection.Rows.Count - 1).Select

' copy cells selected in the new sheet on last line
Selection.Copy Destination:=Sheets(1).Range("A65536").End(xlUp)
(2)
Next
End Sub

HOWEVER, I would like to enhance it in accordance with the following
pseudocode:

• Go to Worksheet 1
• Is its name “Master”?
• If not, create it. If yes, then use it (don't keep creating
"Master" over and over...)
• Clear the contents of “Master”
• Loop through all the worksheets, copy their contents (cells with
data only, not blank rows - sometimes Excel gets confused where the
last cell is located), then append those contents to “Master”
• For the above, is it possible to copy only unhidden columns? Hidden
columns would be skipped. This is a nice to have, not critical.
• Write the macro in such a way to exclude certain worksheets. For
example, a parameter with a list of worksheets, then something like
“If Worksheet.Name In (List of Excluded Worksheets) then skip”. Or
perhaps skip all worksheets with a particular naming convention (eg.
begins with underscore).
• Parameterize whether to keep or skip the first row, and whether to
keep the first row from the first (copied) worksheet.

Thanks for any help or hints you can provide.

Regards,
Scott
