    Extract data from multiple workbooks

    Hi Folks,

    Need your expert help and advice for the following problem. I apologize for being too descriptive about the problem

    I have 15 workbooks and a Master workbook with multiple worksheets.

    I need to extract the data from these 15 workbooks and paste them to a specific sheet named 'Summary' on the master workbook.

    Problem is, all the 15 workbooks have headers which are inconsistent. They do not match the header of the 'Summary' worksheet in the Master workbook.
    I usually create a copy of the original workbooks (so that i have a backup of the all 15 orignal workbooks) and manually delete the columns which are not required and arrange the headers and the corresponding data to match the header of the 'Summary' worksheet in the Master workbook and then paste the data to the 'Summary' worksheet.

    Is there a way to automate the following tasks using VBA
    1) Make a copy of each of the 15 workbooks.
    2) Deleting the unwanted columns from 15 workbooks by comparing it with the header in the Summary worksheet of the Master workbook.
    3) After Step2 , paste the required data (from the 15 workbooks) into the Summary worksheet of the Master Workbook.

    Thanks again, Appreciate your help!
