Master And Slave Workbooks
Mar 11, 2009
I have a Master workbook that contains the complete sales for the entire business. This is based on input from 12 different departments. These 12departments have their own slave Excel workbook that they enter information into. The 13 files are all located in the same directory on a network folder.
What I want to do is to automatically gather all the entries from the 12 slave workbooks to the master workbook whenever the macro I am trying to create is run. There is no way of knowing how many new entries each workbook will contain and they have to be added so that that they don't overwrite eachother and so that they are put in sequence after the last row in the master workbook.
Now the information to be gathered is located on the first worksheet in all the three workbooks. The destination sheet in the Master workbook is also the first worksheet in the workbook. The structure of the information that I want to copy is equal on all the worksheets. How would I go about doing so?

I have basically read all the posts on similar subjects and have tried for a few days to make it work but my solution is far from good enough. So now I am asking for you help.
My project: I have a Master workbook that contains the complete sales for the entire business. This is based on input from three different departments. These three departments have their own Excel workbook that they enter information into. The four files are all located in the same directory on a network folder.
What I want to do is to automatically gather all the entries from the three slave workbooks to the master workbook whenever the macro I am trying to create is run. There is no way of knowing how many new entries each workbook will contain and they have to be added so that that they don't overwrite eachother and so that they are put in sequence after the last row in the master workbook.
Now the information to be gathered is located on the first worksheet in all the three workbooks. The destination sheet in the Master workbook is also the first worksheet in the workbook. The structure of the information that I want to copy is equal on all the worksheets meaning that one sale is entered as a new row in the sheet. It is this row that I want to copy to the mastersheet.
What makes it a bit more complicated is that I want to extract certain information from one sheet and different information from other sheets. From one sheet i want to copy the entire row and from another sheet I just want to copy certain figures like Order Number, Customer, Price and so on. Meaning that I will have a different set of what I want to copy depending on what workbook I am copying from.
Here is what I have so far, it is not working by far and I tried to aim for something simple to start with since my vba experience is limited. So far I cannot copy anything into my Destination master file...

I have a master workbook with which I can produce slaves from but I am looking at keeping certain cells protected to stop deletion (dates etc). What I require is for the top 5 rows to be protected on each of the 4 week sheets where the dates etc are. I had played with protecting all the sheets and with unprotect then protect on the master but it did not carry over to the newly created slave, could someone point me in the right direction . SOLVED: The code is not pretty but functional.

Is it a good idea to merge xls workbooks in to one master workbook?
I have read online that some say it is ok and nothing will happen and others say it isn't a good idea because macros and formulas will not work right once merge in to one workbook.
So I have many workbooks with 2 - 4 worksheets in them. All have formulas as well as macro's and everything is working fine just as it is. But I would like to have 1 Master workbook with all workbook/worksheets combined in to 1, so that I can stop opening so many workbooks.

I wish to be able to get data from several workbooks (.xls), and gather all the data in one master workbook.
As I said, I've got a number of workbooks with data I wish to copy and merge into one master worksheet. Each workbook contains a sheet called "MILESTONES" (project) in which I want to pick up data. The data ranges from A5:J88, but I think this can be expanded by the users (more rows). There is no guarantee that the users will enter data in all the columns. Columns A and B occur frequently blank, so the users usually starts entering in information in column C (heading = description).
The Master workbook contains of exactly the same headings, except that the columns has been expanded by 1. Column A1 has the heading "Workpack" which is the name of the workbook the information has been gathered from (description is in column D1). This name can be found in a sheet called "REPORT" in all of the workbooks, and I want this to be copied over, row by row so it matches the data. I don't know if it can cause any trouble, but the names are merged through C to J in row 12 in all of the workbooks.
The workbooks (or workpacks) and the master workbook (summary) are placed in the same folder. Let's say C:Project. The workbooks also changes names frequently (each month). Lastly, if there is a way to automatically update the master workbook every time it is opened.

at the moment I'm trying to consolidate four Workbooks to a Master Workbook.
The four Workbooks I want to merge have the same table structure but except the "Project Number" they have almost different data in their columns.
What I want to do is creating a Master Workbook in which all the Projects are listed once with the information of all four Lists.
While consolidating the data should be checked whether it is already in the Master Workbook or not:
If yes the Macro should copy the to adding data in the existing Project row and there in the correct column.
If not the Macro should create a new row for the Project.

I have a folder containing about 56 workbooks each uniquely named with a tab just called "Worksheet". What I'd like to do is make a master file that creates 56 tabs, each tab being from 1 of the 56 workbooks.
I tried creating a macro but it is bugging out on me after the first workbook and I'm not that strong in VBA. Below is the macro I've been working on (I've excluded the folder path for obvious reasons):
Sub Merge()
Path = "--------"
Filename = Dir(Path & "*.xlsx")
Do While Filename ""
Workbooks.Open Filename:=Path & Filename, ReadOnly:=True
For Each Sheet In ActiveWorkbook.Sheets
Sheet.Copy After:=ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1)
Next Sheet
Workbooks(Filename).Close
Filename = Dir()
Loop
End Sub
I could manually do it but this will be a recurring event where the file names will not be similar, so I'd like to build a process to handle that scenario.

I have a folder that contains many workbooks that contain the same layout of information just with different workbook names. Im looking to copy certain customer information from each WB to a master sheet, such as name, adress, city, ect.
-Folder to lookin for all WB's information - D:Documents and SettingsRonMy DocumentsNew Folder (3)
-The sheet to copy the info from in each WB is named "Quote"
-The ranges to copy are B5:D5, B6:D6, F6:I6, K6:M6
-I want to use a command button to trigger the code and copy the info to the open WB on Sheet12.
-The info going into in sheet12 is layed out across each column.
Example of Sheet12:
A1 = B5:D5, B1 = B6:D6, C1= F6:I6, D1 = K6:M6, so each copied WB will used the same layout and just copy to the next line.
Example :
A1 = B5:D5, B1 = B6:D6, C1= F6:I6, D1 = K6:M6 (Ea. WB information)
A2 = B5:D5, B1 = B6:D6, C1= F6:I6, D1 = K6:M6 (Ea. WB information)
A3 = B5:D5, B1 = B6:D6, C1= F6:I6, D1 = K6:M6 (Ea. WB information)

I have 600+ variations of the same workbook. Contained within each workbook is a worksheet, from which I need to copy and paste a range of cells into one "master" workbook. For example, in workbook 1 I need to copy rows 2:5 and paste that into the master workbook in cells 2:5. Then I need to open workbook 2, copy rows 2:5 and paste them into the master workbook starting at row 6. I have fumbled my way through everything except the pasting part into the Master workbook.

I am trying to put together a small rota/hours manager. I would like each employee to have their own workbook file and update it everyday. Then I would like to have a master workbook which reads each workbook and returns the data inside the workbooks when opened or on the press of a button. I have looked at paste special and other linking ways, but couldnt quite get them to work. Is it possible for the master workbook to keep the data retrieved in date order and then perform a calculation for each row/employee to calculate that days wages. (rate of pay stored in Pay_Rate sheet.) Finally, if there is an easy solution would it matter if the employee spreasheets were password protected?

I will have about 100 files to merge together that are in one directory. Is it possible to merge all workSHEETS named "Bob" from each workBOOK and end up with just one master file?

At our small firm, each staff member keeps a small excel spread sheet on the network that contains their "work in progress." This spreadsheet is roughly six columns wide and roughly twenty lines long.
What I am attempting to do is have one "master" spreadsheet with a tab for each staff member that links their "work in progress" so that partners and managers can easily see how much work each of the fifteen or so staff members have.
I can create fifteen different tabs and fifteen different files on the network and link =[Staff1.xlsx]Sheet1!$A$1:$G$25 =[Staff2.xlsx]Sheet1!$A$1:$G$25 =[Staff3.xlsx]Sheet1!$A$1:$G$25 and so on.
If I make a change to the layout of the work in progress sheet, I have to delete and copy the file fifteen times, then go back through and re-link fifteen tabs to fifteen workbooks in order to keep it uniform.

I have several workbooks that supervisors in a call center use to grade calls for quality.
Each supervisor has a seperate workbook, and after scoring the call, the supervisor runs a vb script that copies all of the data from the worksheet "observation" onto "sheet1" for storing the data.
So now I want to use another workbook to:
1. Copy each sheet1 from all of the supervisor workbooks onto a sheet named "cumulative" in a different workbook.
In a perfect world it would also:
2. Keep a count of how many observations were done by each supervisor each day
3. Keep a count of how many have been done week to date
4. Keep a count how many have been done total since January 1, 2009
Each workbook is kept on a network drive at s:supervisorsqadata and named - for example QAformMelissa.xls
I'm okay with keeping the master sheet in the same directory if that makes it easier to accomplish this.

I have a workbook that links out to numerous other workbooks for current data. After one of the supporting workbooks gets up dated, I return to the master workbook.
Here, I need to see the updated results. The only way that I can find a way of updating the master is to close and save it and then re-open.
Is there a way of updating the master workbook using a macro?

I have several hundred workbooks which are linked to a master workbook from where the workbooks draw their information. Now I would like to break all the links in all of the several hundred workbooks to this master workbook and retain the information. Is this possible without having to open each workbook individually and break the links via the 'edit links' option?

I'm trying to take a single worksheet from a workbook and merge them all into one workbook. In that master workbook I'm looking to have each of the worksheets on different tabs and the tab names as the original workbook name.
So if I have Workbook1, Workbook2, Workbook3, Workbook4 in a folder. I want to open a new spreadsheet, run this macro, select the folder with the Workbooks in, and have it take the range selected from the worksheet 'other' from each of the workbooks and generate a 'master' Spreasheet where each tab would be called Workbook1, Workbook2, Workbook3, Workbook4 and the contents would be from the 'other' tab
I found some of Ron de Bruin's code online which I've tried to customise.
Currently this takes a range from the tab specified, puts it into an array and then pastes it all into different columns on one worksheet. change this so that it creates a new worksheet for each original workbook, and names it after that workbook.

I'd like to import column A,E, H, and I in different 11 workbooks in MYdocument folder to one Master workbook.
I'd like to import 'Name' and ' ID' in cell E3 and C3 in each different 11 workbooks to cell A1 and cell B1 in Master workbook.
Starting row for Column A,E,H and I are 'row 6' because row1 thru 5 are title, name, and comments.
In the Sheet 1 in Master workbook will be the Main sheet for command buttons, so I want to import after Sheet1 in Master workbook.
I want to import each worksheet , not stacked type. I got 11 workbooks in my document right now, but numbers are always changing. I also import in row 2 in Master workbook because I need to add title or button on row 1 in Master workbook.
How can I import only selected columns from row 6 into row 2 in master workbook?

I have multiple excel files from which I would like to copy specific ranges to a master file. The row should add up to the previous rows. From this side I have no problems things work fine. The problem is to copy the header which remains the same data to the top of the master file. Currently the macro I use overwrite the first line of the master file. So I loose the date from one of the excel files.

I'm trying to collect specific data from a collection of different (.xls) files into 1 master file using the following code (which runs in the master file):
Code:
Sub FolderPick()
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)
[Code].....
I'm having trouble with the Name-variable in the 'red line'. This variable is set in the 'purple lines' however, the code (which I got online) keeps adding ".pdf" to the name.
I think it has to do with the settings of the 'purple/underlined line' but I don't know if this is true and if so, how to change it.

I have 100 or so workbooks named A1234.xls, A1235.xls, A1236.xls etc.
I want to gather information from the same worksheet and same cell in each workbook.
I want this information in a separate workbook named Master.xls
In the Master spreadsheet I have the workbook names in column A e.g.
A1234
A1235
A1236 etc.
In column B, I want the information form each of the 100 workbooks. For example, from "sheet 1" Cell C2. This is the same place I want the information from in each workbook.
Is there an easy way of doing this with a formulae rather than a macro. For example, in the Master spreadsheet column B1 formula would read =[A1234.xls]Sheet1!$C$2 ... and then can you drag this changing the filename according to column A in the master spreadsheet?
If not can a macro be used? I have only started looking at macro's and my knowledge on them is very basic.

Objective: use VB to copy the first sheet (tab) from every Excel file in a specific folder to a new sheet/tab (for each) in a master spreadsheet. I will then aggregate this data into a summary table.
Following the advice of an old thread (Access: VBA combining multiple excel files to 1 new sheet), one time for each file in the folder. So with three excel files in the folder, I get 3 new tabs in my master spreadsheet but all are copies of the first tab in the master spreadsheet.
I'm wondering if maybe the code, which was in a post from 5 years ago, needs to be "modernized" for Excel 2007. Thanks for any help.
This is the code I'm using:
Sub Combine()
Fpath = "C: emp2" ' change to suit your directory
Fname = Dir(FilePth & "*.xls")
Do While Fname <> ""
Workbooks.Open Fpath & Fname
Sheets(1).Copy After:=Workbooks("Master.xlsm").Sheets(Workbooks("Master.xlsm").Sheets.Count)
Workbooks(Fname).Close SaveChanges:=False
Fname = Dir
Loop
End Sub

Is it possible to VLookUp Data between multiple workbooks (12 different workbooks to be exact) in one master sheet?
I would like the master sheet to find the empty data for the item number. Basically, how can I automatically populate the empty data for each item number in the master sheet. Every item will be different. The 12 workbooks are invoices throughout the year (Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, etc) and these workbooks have the data needed to fill the master sheet. How is this possible? Or is it not?
Master sheet.xlsx
-Contains item number
-Purchase Date
-Sell Date
-Purchase Price
-Sell Price
-Profit Price
The 12 workbooks are the 12 months out of the year, which are invoices.
- Contain the data needed in the master sheet such as sell date, sold price, and profit.
The reason I would like to keep the 12 invoices as workbooks instead of worksheets in 1 big file, is due to the high capacity of item numbers each monthly invoice would have. For example (approximately 500 items in each workbook)
I have for hours and weeks, actually months, But I haven't found any sources on the internet, although I have seen the VLook Up how to's on youtube between 2 workbooks, but not the 12 I would like.
