WOW!!

That looks fantastic!!

The only trouble is im a bit of a vba novice!

The required dat. files are stored in a folder called 'Tricoder'
and the file is stored on T: drive (shared drive at my place of work)
Can you please show me where i would place this information.

Again, many thanks for the help

Hi

just run the macro, then a dialog for opening files appears. change to the folder
where files you want to import are, and select all files you want to import
- same way as you do when you use explore - and press OK button.
if you miss to select some files, run again the macro and select missing files
with worksheet where data already are selected, then it will add the data into
that worksheet.
That's all. But i'm not sure this will end up with what you want to get.

i tried using the code you supplied but its throwing up a syntax error for the following part:

filename = Application.GetOpenFilename(FileFilter:="all file (*.*),*.*",
MultiSelect:=True)

Any ideas of what to change to stop this??

I have found the following information for importing files into a single worksheet.

The trouble is i dont really understand what it all means!!

Could somebody please fill in the necessary changes for this to work??

Many, many thanks

Hi

i wrote the code in one line. but when i pasted the code, my mailer inserted
the code new line automatically that caused syntax error. i think there is
more places which cause syntax error.
i'll put the code changed which would not cause syntax error when you copy.
But in case that there are syntax error again, please let me know.

Sub MultiImporttest()
Dim flname
Dim filename
Dim FileNum As Integer
Dim Counter As Long, maxrow As Long
Dim WorkResult As String
Dim ws As Worksheet

On Error GoTo ErrorCheck
maxrow = Cells.Rows.Count
filename = Application.GetOpenFilename _
(FileFilter:="all file(*.*),*.*", MultiSelect:=True)
If VarType(filename) = vbBoolean Then
Exit Sub
End If

Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.EnableEvents = False

Counter = Cells(Cells.Rows.Count, "a").End(xlUp).Row
If Cells(Counter, "a") <> "" Then
Counter = Counter + 1
End If

For Each flname In filename
FileNum = FreeFile()
Open flname For Input As #FileNum
Do While Seek(FileNum) <= LOF(FileNum)
Application.StatusBar = "Importing Row " & _
Counter & " of text file " & flname
Line Input #FileNum, WorkResult
Set ws = Nothing
Set ws = ActiveSheet
ws.Select
Cells(Counter, 1) = WorkResult
If WorkResult <> "" Then
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Cells(Counter, 1).TextToColumns _
Destination:=Cells(Counter, 1), _
DataType:=xlDelimited, _
TextQualifier:=xlDoubleQuote, _
ConsecutiveDelimiter:=False, _
Tab:=False, Semicolon:=False, _
Comma:=True, Space:=False, _
Other:=False
End If
Counter = Counter + 1
If Counter > maxrow Then
MsgBox "data have over max rows: " & maxrow
Exit Sub
End If
Loop
Close
Next

Application.StatusBar = False
Application.EnableEvents = True
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Exit Sub
ErrorCheck:
Application.StatusBar = False
Application.EnableEvents = True
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
MsgBox "An error occured in the code."
End Sub
