Hi All,
Every month I have this task of collecting data from about 200 reports, into a main central consolidation file.

The Report is an Excel file stored on SharePoint. All the Data i need is on a hidden tab in one Range.

Process:-
1. I go to the SharePoint site where the files are stored and export the list to excel
2. I then compare the SharePoint list to what is already in my consolidation.
3. With the missing files (new files uploaded to SharePoint since last consolidation) not in my consolidated file i copy a column "C" and place this into a workbook column "C" where i have the following Macro.
4. I press the button and The Macro works and i get my data (Code below)

Issue:
once i activated the macro in i still need to click "OK" each the macro loops and a new file opened.
Is their anyway to re-write the code so i don't have to sit around clicking "OK" and go do something more productive while the code does it work?

Code:
     Sub Consolidation()
  
            Dim masterFile As Workbook
            Dim copyWorkbook As Workbook
            Dim lastRow As Long
            Dim rowPosition As Long


            With Application
                .ScreenUpdating = False
                .DisplayAlerts = False
                .AskToUpdateLinks = False
                
            End With


            Set masterFile = ThisWorkbook
            lastRow = Cells(Rows.Count, 3).End(xlUp).Row


            For rowPosition = 4 To lastRow


                Cells(rowPosition, 3).Hyperlinks(1).Follow
                
                Set copyWorkbook = ActiveWorkbook
                With copyWorkbook.Sheets("consolidation")
                    .Visible = True
                    .Range("B4:BCQ44").Copy
                End With


                masterFile.Worksheets(1).Range(Cells(rowPosition, 6).Address).PasteSpecial xlValues
                copyWorkbook.Close SaveChanges:=False


            Next rowPosition


            With Application
                .DisplayAlerts = True
                .ScreenUpdating = True
                .AskToUpdateLinks = True
                
            End With


        End Sub

How to find 2nd largest value in a column?
MAX finds the largest value. =LARGE(A:A,2) will find the second largest. =SMALL(A:A,3) will find the third smallest
