I have set up a workbook with sheets named for each month.
I have 70+ separate excel files (one for each month) that each have a single sheet I want to copy into the new workbook's corresponding month sheet.
Each file is named different but the name of the sheet in those files that I need will all be the same.
Is there a way I could sit in the sheet I want it pasted to, run a macro that I can point to the correct file/workbook -- preferably without opening -- and then have it copy the contents of the sheet I want (again, will always have the same sheet name).
I want the sheet copied with formatting and all, an exact copy.
I don't mind still having to do a lot of manual steps but I have to do this over 70 times so I'm hoping there will be some steps to help me automate more/most of it.
This link seemed ilke it might have some stuff to help you help me - if i could control which sheet it copies more easily since for me the source data always has a different file name.

I thought I lost that original message so I rewrote everything - differently - then I saw the restore button so I'm leaving both phrasings.
I would like to know if there is a Macro that could ask me which workbook to copy from, select the sheet in that workbook called CAP (sheet will always have the same name but I need to copy the sheet from 70 different files/workbooks) copy the whole sheet with formatting and all, and then paste it in my active sheet on the new workbook I am in.
I want to take data about a particular partner we have (CAP) out of the monthly summaries for the last ~72 months (which each have their own file/workbook) and put them all in one workbook just for this partner, on each sheet by month still.
I am only interested in automating everything I have to do for 1 month, but in a way that would easily let me do it again for the next month, and the next and the next, 70 times.
But a Macro would still be easier than opening each file, going to the sheet I want, copying everything, going back to my new workbook, pasting everything, closing the extra workbook, then doing that ALL again 70 times.
