Hi there,
I was after some help...
I have around 3500 workbooks in a different subfolders within one all encompassing folder.
These contain around 5 tabs each which have autofilters applied in varying ways. I.e. A user has preivously opened the file and filtered the list and then saved the file without removing the filter.
I was tasked with copying all of the data from these 3500 workbooks into one new workbook. All of the 3500 files have one tab in particular that I needed the data copying/copying from, and so to do this I used an add-in created by Ron de Bruin which merges specific data from multiple workbooks and pastes them into a new sheet, which is exactly what I need. However this add-in only copies the data that is actually displayed in each file, and not the data that has been filtered out.
Obviously I need to make sure all of the files are unfiltered before I run the copy/merge add-in, but I am struggling to find a way to do this without going into 3500 separated workbooks and manually remove the filters.
I have searched the forums and found that pre 2007 there was a function called Application.FileSearch which has bnow been replaced with the Dir() function, but I am struggling to modify this to my needs.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
