Need to create a Macro that goes to a workbook and a specific worksheet and copies a defined range of cells. It then returns to a centalized page where the data is pasted. This process continues for multiple workbooks until the loop is complete (The Directory Names and File Names for the workbooks are defined in a worksheet).

My problem is that I cannot find a way to close the workbooks that the initial data was copied from once that process has taken place. I cannot call out the actual name because there will be multiple ones used. I do not know how to make it work using the variable name I assigned (MyFile) either?

Any suggestions are appreciated. The code I used is as follows:


Sub CreateGroupProcurementsFile()
'
Application.ScreenUpdating = False

'create variable for user path and file
Dim MyPath
Dim MyFile

'start at first file
MACRO.Select
Range("A7").Select

'create loop for each file
Do Until ActiveCell = ""
Let MyPath = ActiveCell.Value
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Range("A1").Select
Let MyFile = ActiveCell.Value
ChDir MyPath
Workbooks.Open Filename:=MyFile, UpdateLinks:=0

'Copy and Paste Range file

Sheets("Plan").Select
Range("A51:T1200").Copy

Windows("GroupProcurements.xls").Activate
GroupProcurement.Select
Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Select
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select

Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues

'move down to next file
MACRO.Select
ActiveCell.Offset(0, -1).Range("A1").Select
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Range("A1").Select
Loop
'end of loop above

GroupProcurement.Select

End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Why are there 1,048,576 rows in Excel?
The Excel team increased the size of the grid in 2007. There are 2^20 rows and 2^14 columns for a total of 17 billion cells.
What you probably want to do is create a reference to the workbook you've opened.

Something like this perhaps.
Code:
Set wbOpen =  Workbooks.Open (Filename:=MyFile)
You can then use this to close the workbook.
Code:
wbOpen.Close
