Well....it appears that it is doing something. (i see as if files open but
just for a second) .but still not populating the master_file...I renamed to
master_file1...and place in the same directory as my student
files.....because of a prompt that your file was "read only"....... (idid
notice that file was populated already form the 3 student data so I
deleted it and save the file again then rand the VB again... it did not
populate.. hard to understand why this is not working...
The code looks similar to the old code.... ...but still not working....I
did change the path to ...
Sub merge_data()
Dim filenm As String, folderpath As String
folderpath =
"C:\Users\Michael\Desktop\ESL_Consulting\Students\Student_Test\" ' change
folder here
filenm = Dir(folderpath)
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
While (filenm <> "")
If InStr(filenm, ".xls") > 0 Then ' open only excel workbooks
' if found display full path in message box
Call copy_data(folderpath & filenm)
End If
filenm = Dir
Wend
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Range("a1").Select
End Sub
Sub copy_data(filename As String)
Dim wkb As Workbook
Dim i As Long
Set wkb = Workbooks.Open(filename)
i = ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1).Range("xfd1").End(xlToLeft).Column + 1
ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1).Cells(1, i).Value = Left(wkb.Name, InStr(wkb.Name,
".") - 1)
wkb.Sheets(1).Range("J6:j9").Copy
Destination:=ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1).Cells(2, i)
wkb.Close , False
End Sub
