I have a Workbook with several hundred worksheets, which I need to merge/consolidate into a single worksheet. I found some code that I was able to slightly modify for my purposes and works perfect with the exception of some formatting of the data problems. I have a test version of my workbook here:
https://app.box.com/s/8wju200wyh8mxmsda1q9ajsh9gi4txjy
Most of the data is consolidated correctly, however, some of the data formats are changed in column D and Column H. For example, there's a worksheet names 0447 and column D's value is 0447, but when I run the code it drops the leading zero.
Regarding column H, this data is often interpreted as a date, but it's not and it needs to maintain its original value e.g. 1-1-1 vice 1/1/2001.
So basically I need columns D and H to be formatted as text to maintain the values. I don't want to format all columns to text, as some columns do have numerical values, which I need to maintain.
Just to be clear, I'm not a VBA coder and as I said, most of this was pulled from another source I found.
Thanks in advance!

The code is as follows:
Sub CopyFromWorksheets()
Dim wrk As Workbook 'Workbook object - Always good to work with object variables
Dim sht As Worksheet 'Object for handling worksheets in loop
Dim trg As Worksheet 'Master Worksheet
Dim rng As Range 'Range object
Dim colCount As Integer 'Column count in tables in the worksheets
Set wrk = ActiveWorkbook 'Working in active workbook
For Each sht In wrk.Worksheets
If sht.Name = "Master" Then
MsgBox "There is a worksheet called as 'Master'." & vbCrLf & _
"Please remove or rename this worksheet since 'Master' would be" & _
"the name of the result worksheet of this process.", vbOKOnly + vbExclamation, "Error"
Exit Sub
End If
Next sht
'We don't want screen updating
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
'Add new worksheet as the last worksheet
Set trg = wrk.Worksheets.Add(After:=wrk.Worksheets(wrk.Worksheets.Count))
'Rename the new worksheet
trg.Name = "Master"
'Get column headers from the first worksheet
'Column count first
Set sht = wrk.Worksheets(1)
colCount = sht.Cells(1, 255).End(xlToLeft).Column
'Now retrieve headers, no copy&paste needed
With trg.Cells(1, 1).Resize(1, colCount)
.Value = sht.Cells(1, 1).Resize(1, colCount).Value
'Set font as bold
.Font.Bold = True
End With
'We can start loop
For Each sht In wrk.Worksheets
'If worksheet in loop is the last one, stop execution (it is Master worksheet)
If sht.Index = wrk.Worksheets.Count Then
Range("A1").Select
With ActiveWindow
.SplitColumn = 0
.SplitRow = 1
End With
ActiveWindow.FreezePanes = True
Selection.AutoFilter
Exit For
End If
'Data range in worksheet - starts from second row as first rows are the header rows in all worksheets
Set rng = sht.Range(sht.Cells(2, 1), sht.Cells(65536, 1).End(xlUp).Resize(, colCount))
'Put data into the Master worksheet
trg.Cells(65536, 1).End(xlUp).Offset(1).Resize(rng.Rows.Count, rng.Columns.Count).Value = rng.Value
Next sht
'Fit the columns in Master worksheet
trg.Columns.AutoFit
'Screen updating should be activated
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
