When I try to run below code in a loop, or several times in a row (i.e. Call RunAllMergeSheets, Call RunAllMergeSheets etc) the time it takes to run the macro increases exponentially.
- Is there any way to speed this up? What's causing the biggest slowdown in the speed (minus the increase in file-size)

Many thanks for your help

Code:
Sub RunAllMergeSheets()    
    Dim sh As Worksheet
    Dim DestSh As Worksheet
    Dim Last As Long
    Dim CopyRng As Range


    With Application
        .ScreenUpdating = False
        .EnableEvents = False
    End With


    'Set Dest to worksheet "ALL"
    Set DestSh = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("ALL")
    DestSh.Name = "ALL"


    'loop through all worksheets and copy the data to the DestSh
    For Each sh In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
        If IsError(Application.Match(sh.Name, _
    Array(DestSh.Name, "Setup instructions", "How to use", "DATA", "INPUT"), 0)) Then


            'Find the last row with data on the DestSh
            Last = LastRow(DestSh)


            'Fill in the range that you want to copy
            Set CopyRng = sh.Range("E2:J5001")
            
            'Test if there enough rows in the DestSh to copy all the data
            If Last + CopyRng.Rows.Count > DestSh.Rows.Count Then
                MsgBox "There are not enough rows in the Destsh"
                GoTo ExitTheSub
            End If


            'This example copies values/formats, if you only want to copy the
            'values or want to copy everything look at the example below this macro
            With CopyRng
            DestSh.Cells(Last + 1, "A").Resize(.Rows.Count, _
            .Columns.Count).Value = .Value
            End With


            'Optional: This will copy the sheet name + time stamps in the respective columns
            DestSh.Cells(Last + 1, "G").Resize(CopyRng.Rows.Count).Value = sh.Name
            DestSh.Cells(Last + 1, "H").Resize(CopyRng.Rows.Count).Value = sh.Range("B5")
            DestSh.Cells(Last + 1, "I").Resize(CopyRng.Rows.Count).Value = sh.Range("B6")


        End If
    Next


ExitTheSub:


    Application.Goto DestSh.Cells(1)
    
    'Delete empty rows
    On Error Resume Next
    Columns("A").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks).EntireRow.Delete
    
    'Add one to start + end dates
    Dim r As Range
    
    Sheets("INPUT").Select


    Set r = Range("B2:B3")


    For Each cell In r
        If IsDate(cell.Value) Then
            If cell.Value > 0 Then
                cell.Value = cell.Value + 1
            End If
        Else
            MsgBox "Cell " & cell.Address(0, 0) & "is not a date"
            Exit Sub
        End If
    Next


End Sub

How to change case of text in Excel?
Use =UPPER() for upper case, =LOWER() for lower case, and =PROPER() for proper case. PROPER won't capitalize second c in Mccartney

Run-time error 438: Object doesn't support this property or method:

Code:
.Offset(, 7).Resize(UBound(arr, 1)).wks.Range("B5").Value

Also, when running the code, this line apparently added only the first sheet name ("Data1") after every row, instead of the sheet names the data was taken from

.Offset(, 6).Resize(UBound(arr, 1)).Value = wks.Name

Change to

.Offset(, 7).Resize(Ubound(Arr, 1)).Value = wks.Range("B5").Value
.Offset(, 8).Resize(Ubound(Arr, 1)).Value = wks.Range("B6").Value

That did the trick! Super grateful for your help JackDanIce, it's people like you, going out of their way to help a stranger on the internet, who make the world a better place. I just gave you a 'Like', but let me know if you have some kind of 'buy me a coffee link'

You're very welcome. I learnt loads when I first started learning VBA with the aid of this board (+ book and internet searching), happy to offer help back in return, so glad it's working for you!
