Hi,

I'm currently using a macro posted by Mr. Tom Urtis on 2/27/06 "Combing/Merging Workbooks in need of help" I would like to change some features to fit my needs a little better.

1. I would like it to paste the values only in the new worksheet.

2. The data I need to copy always starts on coulmn A row 16. I would like it to copy the full row as columns are added each month.

3 Is it posible to have it copy only 5 of the worksheets instead of the full workbook? The naming on the worksheets are all the same... naming convention is as such: custom1, custom2, custom3, custom4 and custom5.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks claremark

Excel Facts

Which Excel functions can ignore hidden rows?
The SUBTOTAL and AGGREGATE functions ignore hidden rows. AGGREGATE can also exclude error cells and more.
Ok. I figured out Question #2 where to change the row start point (in red below)

but I still having issues Question #1 with the paste special values...in this code

Does it need to be added at the end of this statement? I can't seem to figure this out...



'Copy the rows from the District sheet to the Main workbook's sheet whose name is the same.
w.Rows("16:" & Alr).Copy ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(v).Cells(Tlr, 1)
'Continue and terminate the loop for all worksheets in the District workbook.
Next w

Paste Special Value... close or still in left field?

Hi,

I've been working on modifying this macro to paste special values... I added bolded info below currently getting compile error syntax error...

Sorry I'm new at this... Am I close or still in left field?

thanks

'Copy the rows from the District sheet to the Main workbook's sheet whose name is the same.
w.Rows("16:" & Alr).Copy ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(v).Cells(tlr, 1)
Range("16: & Alr).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:= False, Transpose:=False
Range("16:" & Alr).Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
