Help modifying a batch processing Macro

Hello, I am new to using the macro function in excel, and would greatly appreciate help creating a function to batch process my data. I have a directory of text files which I would like to import into excel in order, and then to automatically produce the average and mid point for each column (for each file individually). I have attached the script for running two files individually (another tricky bit is to note that the files all have the same columns, but are variable in rows). I don't know where to begin to get it to batch process the thousands of files I have.

I greatly appreciate your help!

Hi, and welcome to the forum. Unfortunately your post does not comply with Rule 3 of our Forum RULES. Use code tags around code.

Posting code between [CODE]Please [url=https://www.excelforum.com/login.php]Login or Register [/url] to view this content.[/CODE] tags makes your code much easier to read and copy for testing, it also maintains VBA formatting.

When you've edited the code we'll need to know whether your thousands of files are all in the same directory/folder and are all the ranges you're wanting to average all in the same cell positions?

Hi,

Thanks for the edit.

What's the answer to the other questions in post #2 and in addition once the macro has worked out the statistics for each file, what do you want to do with them? Are you wanting to list then somewhere, and if so where. It's not at all obvious from your macro recorded code.

Hi Richard, the files are all in the same directory, labelled numerically (ideally they would be processed in numeric order).

To help visualize the data, I have attached the worksheet. Column A ('Call') is the file name, column B-F are from the text files that are inputted into excel, column G-K should be the averages of B-F for each file, and column L-P should be the middle sample from the text set (column B is 'time', so taking the middle reference time).

The averaged and middle values will be transferred and analyzed using R.
