Hi guys, I'm trying to make a client database for my previous year(s), pulling the same cell (C3) and inserting them in a new workbook would save me HOURS of work. Is this even possible? Thanks :)

Yes! Use "0101011" for the weekend argument in NETWORKDAYS.INTL or WORKDAY.INTL. The 7 digits start on Monday. 1 means it is a weekend.
I don't see why not. You'd either need a list of file paths (e.g. in a sheet) or loop over 1K files in one folder or you'd need a recursive function that moves through subfolders. I suppose each copy/paste would go into a cell below wherever you start from in the target workbook.
