Combining All Open Workbooks into Single Worksheet

[SGMacro]

I have been looking around websites and forums for a solution to combining all open workbooks into single worksheets and really struggling here as I'm completely new to VB.

I found the following code that combines all open workbooks sheet1 into one workbook as separate tabs which is great but does not achieve what I need it to do. I have tried to modify and failed.

Can anyone help with this as I'm really struggling.

Sub CombinedWorksheetsFromOpenWorkbook()
    Dim Wkb As Workbook
    Dim sWksName As String


    sWksName = "Sheet1"
    For Each Wkb In Workbooks
        If Wkb.Name <> ThisWorkbook.Name Then
            Wkb.Worksheets(sWksName).Copy _
              Before:=ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1)
        End If
    Next
    Set Wkb = Nothing
End Sub

Does this work for you?

Hi Jamie, Thanks for looking at this.

I've tried your code but this copies the text from the active sheet containing the macro and pastes it into a separate master sheet.

I am trying to copy text from "B2:Q10000" in workbooks external to the workbook containing the macro.
Then paste into the active sheet below existing text without overwriting it.

I've done some more digging and come up with the following 2 step process.

1 - Combine worksheets from any open workbooks macro
2 - Merge worksheets within workbook into 'combined' sheet

Its a bit clunky and would be great if it could be rolled up into 1 process.

Sub CombinedWorksheetsFromOpenWorkbook()
    Dim Wkb As Workbook
    Dim sWksName As String




    sWksName = "Sheet1"
    For Each Wkb In Workbooks
        If Wkb.Name <> ThisWorkbook.Name Then
            Wkb.Worksheets(sWksName).Copy _
              Before:=ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1)
        End If
    Next
    Set Wkb = Nothing
End Sub

Sub MergeWorksheetsIntoOneWorksheet()
Dim J As Integer
On Error Resume Next
Sheets(1).Select
Worksheets.Add
Sheets(1).Name = "Combined"
Sheets(2).Activate
Range("A1").EntireRow.Select
Selection.Copy Destination:=Sheets(1).Range("A1")
For J = 2 To Sheets.Count
Sheets(J).Activate
Range("A1").Select
Selection.CurrentRegion.Select
Selection.Offset(1, 0).Resize(Selection.Rows.Count - 1).Select
Selection.Copy Destination:=Sheets(1).Range("A65536").End(xlUp)(2)
Next
End Sub

Put this at the end of the first one:

Call MergeWorksheetsIntoOneWorksheet
