Extract data from multiple workbooks in same folder

I have multiple excel files in the following folder "C:\Users\frasmar\Desktop\Test" (all .xls files) where I want to extract data from the sheet named "Tombstone - DonnéesDeBase". The data that I want to extract is range "M4:M13". I would like to copy that range and paste it in another workbook (the one with the macro, named "extract macro.xlsm") which isn't in the same folder. For the pasting part, I assume I need something along the lines of search for the first blank cell in column A and paste.

The way I see it is that it would open the first workbook in the folder, copy the range in the specified sheet, paste it in column A of the workbook with the macro, close the first workbook, open the second one, so on so forth.

Any help on this? Thanks in advance.
 

Excel Facts

Did you know Excel offers Filter by Selection?
Add the AutoFilter icon to the Quick Access Toolbar. Select a cell containing Apple, click AutoFilter, and you will get all rows with Apple
Try this:
Code:
Public Sub Copy_Values_From_Workbooks()

    Dim folderPath As String
    Dim fileName As String
    Dim destCell As Range, r As Long
    Dim fromWorkbook As Workbook
    
    'Folder containing the workbooks
    
    folderPath = "C:\Users\frasmar\Desktop\Test\"
    If Right(folderPath, 1) <> "\" Then folderPath = folderPath & "\"
    
    With ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet
        Set destCell = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp)
        If Not IsEmpty(destCell.Value) Then Set destCell = destCell.Offset(1)
    End With
    
    'Open file names matching *.xls
    
    fileName = Dir(folderPath & "*.xls")
    r = 0
    Do While fileName <> vbNullString
        Set fromWorkbook = Workbooks.Open(folderPath & fileName)
        destCell.Offset(r).Resize(10, 1).Value = fromWorkbook.Worksheets("Tombstone - DonnéesDeBase").Range("M4:M13").Value
        r = r + 10
        fromWorkbook.Close savechanges:=False
        DoEvents
        
        'Get next file name
        
        fileName = Dir
    Loop
    
    MsgBox "Finished"
    
End Sub

It's not clear what you want. If you want the M4:M13 cell values from each workbook to be transposed and put in multiple columns across each row, then replace:
VBA Code:
       destCell.Offset(r).Resize(10, 1).Value = fromWorkbook.Worksheets("Tombstone - DonnéesDeBase").Range("M4:M13").Value
       r = r + 10
with
VBA Code:
       destCell.Offset(r).Resize(1, 10).Value = Application.Transpose(fromWorkbook.Worksheets("Tombstone - DonnéesDeBase").Range("M4:M13").Value)
       r = r + 1
That's untested though.

Please start a new thread because now your question is very different to the OP.

Include a precise description of your request and use XL2BB if you think it will help show your data layout and desired outcome.
