Merge Selected Workbooks

**N Prakash** · 06-16-2013, 07:07 AM

Hi,

I got a Macro code to merge data from different Excel files from the forum. I was trying to modify Macro code to extract data from different cells from a file to destination file. I want data from B2, B4, B8 and column E2:E12 to be copied and paste it to the destination work book by transposing and concatenate E2:E12 and separate with comma(,) from each file. I am failing to modify to suit my requirements. Can any body help me please.

Sub MergeSelectedWorkbooks()
Dim SummarySheet As Worksheet
Dim FolderPath As String
Dim SelectedFiles() As Variant
Dim NRow As Long
Dim FileName As String
Dim NFile As Long
Dim WorkBk As Workbook
Dim SourceRange As Range
Dim DestRange As Range

' Create a new workbook and set a variable to the first sheet.
Set SummarySheet = Workbooks.Add(xlWBATWorksheet).Worksheets(1)

' Modify this folder path to point to the files you want to use.
FolderPath = "C:\Documents and Settings\admin\Desktop\Results_4"

' Set the current directory to the the folder path.
ChDrive FolderPath
ChDir FolderPath

' Open the file dialog box and filter on Excel files, allowing multiple files
' to be selected.
SelectedFiles = Application.GetOpenFilename( _
filefilter:="Excel Files (*.xl*), *.xl*", MultiSelect:=True)

' NRow keeps track of where to insert new rows in the destination workbook.
NRow = 1

' Loop through the list of returned file names
For NFile = LBound(SelectedFiles) To UBound(SelectedFiles)
' Set FileName to be the current workbook file name to open.
FileName = SelectedFiles(NFile)

' Open the current workbook.
Set WorkBk = Workbooks.Open(FileName)

' Set the cell in column A to be the file name.
SummarySheet.Range("A" & NRow).Value = FileName

' Set the source range to be A9 through C9.
' Modify this range for your workbooks. It can span multiple rows.
Set SourceRange = WorkBk.Worksheets(1).Range("A10:B10")

' Set the destination range to start at column B and be the same size as the source range.
Set DestRange = SummarySheet.Range("B" & NRow)
Set DestRange = DestRange.Resize(SourceRange.Rows.Count, _
SourceRange.Columns.Count)

' Copy over the values from the source to the destination.
DestRange.Value = SourceRange.Value

' Increase NRow so that we know where to copy data next.
NRow = NRow + DestRange.Rows.Count

' Close the source workbook without saving changes.
WorkBk.Close savechanges:=False
Next NFile
' Call AutoFit on the destination sheet so that all data is readable.
SummarySheet.Columns.AutoFit
End Sub

Hi, Prakash,

Your post does not comply with Rule 3 of our Forum RULES. Use code tags around code.

Posting code in [CODE] [/CODE] tags makes your code much easier to read and copy for testing, it also maintains VBA formatting.

Highlight your code and click the # icon at the top of your post window. More information about these and other tags can be found here

Thanks HaHoBe. I shall take care of the rule of the forum.

I think I was not clear in my question.

The above posted code works perfectly for me.It is extracting data only from A10:B10. The folder is having nearly 100 files and code should read each file and get data from B1, B3,B10 and E2:E11. In the destination file B1,B3,B4 should be written in different column and data in E2:E11 should be concatenated written to another column. Then the next file data should be written in a next row. Like wise once it encounters the end of file it should stop.

Hope I have made it clear.
