Hi, it works and it is ok to copy to sheet 1. However I am not able to define from which sheet to copy from. Could you please indicate in the code where am I suppose to insert the name of the sheet to copy from. I didn't see any yellow markings in the code above.
I decided to combine this macro with removing duplicates and I should have database setup in no time:) thanks to you. regards seba On 27 jan., 11:40, ashish koul <koul.ash...@gmail.com> wrote: > hi > > try this code if the sheets postion or names are fixed from which data is to > be merged in all workbooks > then simply change below yellow marked line currenty it will copy on sheet > 1 from all the workbooks. > > 2nd - once you get all the file names to be merged you can manually delete > that row, from macro workbook , then macro will not copy the data from that > workbook. > > other way is that you can remove duplicates at end using advance filter or > remove duplicates options > > we can still find other alternatives then if none of above works > > let me know if any other questions. > > Sub consolidatefromdifferentworkbooks() > Application.DisplayAlerts = False > 'On Error GoTo abc > Dim ask As Workbook > Dim ask2 As Workbook > Dim ASK3 As Workbook > Set ASK3 = ActiveWorkbook > Dim i As Long > Dim j As Long > Dim N, z, r, s, k As Long > s = 1 > k = 1 > Dim x As String > Dim temp As String > > Sheets(1).Select > Range("A65356").Select > Selection.End(xlUp).Select > r = ActiveCell.Row > > Workbooks.Open Filename:=ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1).Range("b2").Value > Set ask = ActiveWorkbook > For i = 2 To r > > 'Workbooks(Range("a" & i).Value).Windows(1).Visible = False > ASK3.Activate > Sheets(1).Select > Workbooks.Open Filename:=Sheets(1).Range("a" & i).Value > Set ask2 = ActiveWorkbook > Sheets(1).Select > > Range("A1").Select > ActiveCell.SpecialCells(xlLastCell).Select > > N = ActiveCell.Row > If N >= 2 Then > Rows("1:" & N).Select > > Selection.Copy > > 'Sheets.Add After:=Sheets(Sheets.Count) > ask.Activate > ask.Sheets(1).Activate > Sheets(1).Select > Range("A1").Select > ActiveCell.SpecialCells(xlLastCell).Select > > z = ActiveCell.Row + 2 > > Range("A" & z).Select > ActiveSheet.Paste > ActiveWorkbook.Save > ask2.Activate > ask2.Close > End If > > Next i > 'abc: > 'Exit Sub > Application.DisplayAlerts = True > End Sub > > On Thu, Jan 27, 2011 at 2:01 PM, Seba <sebastjan.hri...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi Ashish, > > > I can't thank you enough for this great solution:) > > I'd hate to be a pain in the neck but I do have a couple of questions > > more. > > > Would it be possible to specify only one sheet to be merged?
