I am trying to write some VBA code that will allow me to combine multiple files (exact # varies each week) in a folder into 1 file.

The files only contain 1 row (no headers) and 9 columns (shown below). I would like the macro to open each file and copy row 1 and then paste it in my macro workbook in the first blank row. Then repeat this until every file in the folder has been processed.

I would really appreciate any assistance here today because I am really struggling to use the macro recorder to make this work for me. Thanks SO mcuh!!:biggrin:

Thanks that was very helpful! I now have my VBA code set to pull all my data from my folder.

However, I have one more question now. Instead of having the code create a new file with the combined data files, is it possible to tweak this code to copy the rows of data over into the macro file with this code?

Dim MyPath As String, FilesInPath As String
Dim MyFiles() As String
Dim SourceRcount As Long, FNum As Long
Dim mybook As Workbook, BaseWks As Worksheet
Dim sourceRange As Range, destrange As Range
Dim rnum As Long, CalcMode As Long

' Change this to the path\folder location of your files.
MyPath = "\\XX\XX\XX"

' Add a slash at the end of the path if needed.
If Right(MyPath, 1) <> "\" Then
MyPath = MyPath & "\"
End If

' If there are no Excel files in the folder, exit.
FilesInPath = Dir(MyPath & "*.csv*")
If FilesInPath = "" Then
MsgBox "No files found"
Exit Sub
End If

' Fill the myFiles array with the list of Excel files
' in the search folder.
FNum = 0
Do While FilesInPath <> ""
FNum = FNum + 1
ReDim Preserve MyFiles(1 To FNum)
MyFiles(FNum) = FilesInPath
FilesInPath = Dir()
Loop

' Set various application properties.
With Application
CalcMode = .Calculation
.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
.ScreenUpdating = False
.EnableEvents = False
End With

' Add a new workbook with one sheet.
Set BaseWks = Workbooks.Add(xlWBATWorksheet).Worksheets(1)
rnum = 1

' Loop through all files in the myFiles array.
If FNum > 0 Then
For FNum = LBound(MyFiles) To UBound(MyFiles)
Set mybook = Nothing
On Error Resume Next
Set mybook = Workbooks.Open(MyPath & MyFiles(FNum))
On Error GoTo 0

If Not mybook Is Nothing Then
On Error Resume Next

' Change this range to fit your own needs.
With mybook.Worksheets(1)
Set sourceRange = .Range("A1:I1")
End With

If Err.Number > 0 Then
Err.Clear
Set sourceRange = Nothing
Else
' If source range uses all columns then
' skip this file.
If sourceRange.Columns.Count >= BaseWks.Columns.Count Then
Set sourceRange = Nothing
End If
End If
On Error GoTo 0

If Not sourceRange Is Nothing Then

SourceRcount = sourceRange.Rows.Count

If rnum + SourceRcount >= BaseWks.Rows.Count Then
MsgBox "There are not enough rows in the target worksheet."
BaseWks.Columns.AutoFit
mybook.Close savechanges:=False
GoTo ExitTheSub
Else

' Copy the file name in column A.
' With sourceRange
' BaseWks.Cells(rnum, "A"). _
' Resize(.Rows.Count).Value = MyFiles(FNum)
' End With

' Set the destination range.
Set destrange = BaseWks.Range("B" & rnum)

' Copy the values from the source range
' to the destination range.
With sourceRange
Set destrange = destrange. _
Resize(.Rows.Count, .Columns.Count)
End With
destrange.Value = sourceRange.Value

rnum = rnum + SourceRcount
End If
End If
mybook.Close savechanges:=False
End If

Next FNum
BaseWks.Columns.AutoFit
End If

ExitTheSub:
' Restore the application properties.
With Application
.ScreenUpdating = True
.EnableEvents = True
.Calculation = CalcMode

End With
End Sub
