I have situation which needs expert advice. I have about 22 Excel files of different branches with similar data. I have to link some calculated cells from each of these files into one file to show the consolidated data. There are about 18 calculated cells in each file, so linking each one is practically impossible.

Problem: I'd like to automate a process whereby consolidating certain information within many data files (possibly up to 500) into a single tab within a master file.
At the moment there are only a few data files which are manually consolidated by way of manual links but going forward it will increase significantly, hence the need to automate.
I need to consolidate the following 5 cells from each data file A1, A2, A5, A7, A8 (vertical) into a single row within the master file across 5 columns (horizontal), i.e. each data file will populate 1 row in the master file, one below the other. If there are 500 data files there will be 500 rows of data in the master file.
The data files will be saved in a central location on our server and the master file will sit outside this folder, possibly in a subfolder.
Something which would be handy is a link in the master file to each data file, i.e. if I click on a data row in the master file it would jump to the source data file.
I have a folder that contains around 45 excel files, each of these files contain a tab called "corp val". (these files change name month to month e.g. Report June, Report July etc)
I am finding on a monthly basis i need to go into each of these excel files and copy the data from the "corp val" tab into a summarized spreadsheet - which i then use the data for various things.
Just wondered if there was a solution to this or will it always be difficult to copy and pasting all the data i need. I am not in anyway an advanced excel user, I am guessing this might be some form of macro in which case I am maybe better to keep doing it the way I was as I am not literate in macros.
I am trying to make a program that opens a file from my hardrive, adds to a list box and allows me to send to a second box. I then want to be able to open the selected files in box 2. I have done the above except being able to open the files in the box. Below is my code can anyone help. I want all the selected files to open in one workbook, so want all files sheets to be copied into one new workbook.

Lb2.AddItem Lb1.Text

I am trying to automatically copy and paste data from multiple source workbooks into one master file, and could use some assistance with building a macro to do so. Specifically, I'm trying to accomplish the following:
1. Open source file.
2. Within the source file, find any worksheets whose name begins with a 5-digit number.
3. For these worksheets only, copy values from a specified range (B15:B64, J15:J64, and V15:V64), and paste these values into the master workbook (into worksheets already existing in the master workbook, whose names match those in the source workbook).
4. Close the source file and repeat this process for the next one.
In total, I'll have ~20 source files to process in this manner. I have the file names listed in Column C of the "Import" sheet on my master workbook.
So far, I have been successful in taking care of the step 1 (opening the external files). I'm a macro newbie, though, and am not sure how to tackle the conditional cutting and pasting outlined above.
I was to combine 130 files into one file without having to open all the files, if it's possible if not, then I guess I'll have to open them up. All Files have the same number of columns but difference number of rows.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a department of around 20 ppl, each have excel files that can contain upto 10 tabs with those in turn possibly containing upto 500 lines each.
I now need to take totals from each person, linking it back to my one 'master' file.
Now i could do this with various VLookups but speed would be an issue here. I will be working off company servers too, so shared drives are involved.
to separate a very large excel file into multiple files based on what's in a single column.
I am an intern at my district school board and I'd love to know if there is a way to do this.
In the attached file the first tab is an example of some of the information I have in my file. My file is thousands of rows larger. The next few tabs are examples of new files (not just new tabs) That I would like separated and saved somewhere on my hard drive.
Notice the files are split up based on the student.
Is there a way to parse out this information into new files? The file is huge and I need it to do this automatically. If it isn't possible to save new files, is it possible to parse out the students into new tabs? But I have too many students I think. How many Sheet Tabs can you have in 1 file?
Ive got about 300 different excel files all with the exact same format the only thing that is different is the values in the columns but they are all raw reports dumped into excel.
because I had to run them all seperate for certain reasons is there a way to combine all these files into one file without copy pasteing them all into one sheet.
I have about 100 csv files of the same format that I would like to append into a single master file. Order is not important for appending (I can do a column sort later) I can do copying and pasting, but this will take a long time especially because I will creating more master files from completely different CSVs in the future. Is there a faster way to append CSV files?
I am trying to combine 60 separate excel files into one main file. I've been opening each file copying it then pasting it into the main file.However, this is getting tiresome.
View 1 Replies View RelatedMy associates have saved about 2,000 .zip files in a single repository. Each zip file contains a .pdf, and a file called "metadata.xml" - the metadata files are small, only 1-2Kb.
What I'd like to do is import the contents of each metadata.xml file into a single workbook so I can build an inventory of the pdf files.
The full path looks like this:

What I want it to do is to consolidate each worksheet in every excel file into one workbook that will have the same worksheet structures as the child files

I'm trying to build a macro to open multiple files at one time that will always be saved in a consistent drive. The problem is that sometimes there will only be one file for a month (ie only at month-end) and other times, there may also be additional files for different dates throughout the month. I wont know ahead of time how many files there will be, but they will always be saved in the same file name type that is "FILE DESCRIPTION MM-DD-YYYY". How can I build a loop that looks for a file on each possible day but doesn't error out if the file doesn't exist?

How do I write a vb macro that copies everything from multiple files, including sheets within files, and puts them into one master file. Here's what I have so far. I used a script from gnaga that worked great but it didn't copy seperate sheets. If you can help me out, I would greatly appreciate it.

I have about a thousand Excel timesheets that all contain 'hours worked' data in a column. Each row contains the area of the project they have worked on and therefore the amount of time they have spent on it. The timesheets also contain the person's name and a w/e date.
I want to sequentially work through each timesheet held locally in a single folder and copy the person's name, w/e date and the hours held in the column into a single new spreadsheet. I need to transpose the data so each amount of time spent on an activity ends up in a column.
I have attempted to record a macro for this but each time I try and run it after the intitial run, it moves to a completely different cell or set of cells to the ones I have directed it and consequently there is no data copied to the new sheet.
I believe this is the first problem..! The second is working through a high number of spreadsheets held in a single locattion but whilst browsing this site I saw the "Excel VBA Loop Through a Folder of Excel Workbooks" page and think this should work fine.
Trying to learn the basics of how to pull data, from the same formatted excel spreadsheets, combined into one consolidated spreadsheet. I created a few examples below of what I am trying to do. Eventually, I want to be gathering data from over 200 spreadsheets at one time. I believe that a MACRO is needed to do such a thing. I am not sure of the complexity of the MACRO, so hopefully I will be able to mimic whatever needs to be done in my actual file. I have almost ZERO experience with MACROS, so if this is way above entry level MACRO.

I have around 50 text files with similar design per attached file. I need to import the text files with criteria below:-
1. include file name
2. let user choose the folder
3. exclude data from "work in process summary" to "work in process cost totals"
4. only have one title in the excel files which all text files is combined "Item, Line ....."
5. If the text files do not have title like "Item, Line, ..." do not import
Is it possible to have all criteria listed above by running a macro?

I have 3 sets of textboxes. The user inputs information and all the nformation for each are consolidated to one textbox(delaycomments.value)
2 of them are controlled by a calendar input. THe user chooses a date and the date is shown in a textbox. Then they enter notes in the the each comment (delay1, delay2, delay3)
The current code below works, however the spaces I used in between still show even if the values are empty.
So, the "-" that is used to separate the dates still shows even if there aren't any dates. And the ": " still shows as well.
If there is only information in delay1, this is what shows in the consolidated box(delaycomments.value)

Tried the consolidate feature, however not sure that it is what I am looking for.I am basically trying to condense several calendars ( one calendar per department in a company) into one Calendar..Each calendar has its own tab and looks exactly the same. (tab names: Clubhouse, spa, and final calendar... possibly more departments added later) Hard to explaing so I will attach the file. All I would like to do is combine all calendars into the "final calendar" and in time order if possible... example below
{Clubhouse Tab} A3 will have the time (10 am) , B3 will have the item "Meeting"
{Clubhouse Tab} A4 will have the time (5 pm) , B4 will have the item "Dinner"

way to combine multiple rows into a single row using vba?

I'll be as succinct as I can, and I'm sorry if this question has been answered already. I've had a look at past posts and can't seem to find anything.
My service has an Excel workbook of patient details. These details are separated across three sheets called 'Generic', 'Heart Failure' and 'Falls and Fracture Management'.
The columns in each sheet are the same. Every month I produce a single report of data from columns A, B, L, Q and R in each sheet.
I've been doing this by copying/pasting each of those columns from 'Generic' individually into a new sheet, then putting the same data from 'Heart Failure' underneath, etc., then manually deleting all rows that contain a blank in any cell.
Is it possible that VBA code can be written to do this? I don't know anything about codes; I know I could achieve the same effect with linking, but it seems that this would be unreliable.

I am trying to consolidate multiple worksheets in one workbook into one master worksheet in the same workbook. Problem is though that the headings in the multiple worksheets are not excatly the same. Ie. some may have one or two additional headings (other than that they should be the same).
How can this be done or is this a manual process of headings alignment before any consolidation can be done?
