I need to open about 450 workbooks, copy a column from each and paste it on the next free row of another workbook.
 

Excel Facts

How to create a cell-sized chart?
Tiny charts, called Sparklines, were added to Excel 2010. Look for Sparklines on the Insert tab.
welcome to the board.....

surely you're not trying to paste a column from each of the workbooks into a row of a fresh workbook?

Are the names of the workbooks fixed (i.e. they don't change)??

Try to be a bit more specific about exactly what it is you are trying to do. Sure someone here will then be able to have a crack at helping you. :)

In addition to Will's comments - if you added all the data together into one column are you likely to exceed 65556 rows?

What you're asking to do is fairly straightforward to code BUT it's efficiency will be largely dependent upon the volume of data we're talking about...(though I guess it would still be preferable to doing it manually!).

Another option would be to import your Excel data into Access and then return all the data to one book using SQL (again pretty straightforward to code I think).

Good luck!!!

Awaiting next instructions...
