    This formula is entered into Cell C2 of sheet 1, then copied (drag) down the column.

    Welcome. The method you use will depend on the format of your existing workbooks. I suggest you attach samples to make it easier to work on a solution. There's a link to instructions in my signature.

    If you attach a sample of your workbook it will be easier to find a solution. Remember to remove/replace sensitive data before uploading the file. Look here if you need help with attachments:

    Open all of the Excel workbooks in the same instance of Excel.
    You might have to click the internal "restore" button to see the individual workbooks.
    Select all sheets you want to move by Ctrl+Clicking on the worksheet tabs.
    Right click on one of the selected tabs, and choose Move or Copy...
    In the dialog that pops up, select the destination workbook (your "Master" workbook) and then choose where to insert them.
    The (move to end) option is likely what you want, but you can always reorder them later.
    Choose Create a copy if you do not want the sheets to be removed from the first workbook
    Click OK.
    The selected worksheets will be moved or copied from the original workbook into your "Master" workbook. Just close the source wookbook and do it again with the next one, until you've collected all the worksheets you care about into one large wookbook. Make sure to save!
