Hello,

Thanks to MrExcel MVP run the following sample code to get data from an external .xls file

Code:
Dim OpenFileName As StringDim wb As Workbook
'Select and Open workbook
OpenFileName = Application.GetOpenFilename("clients saved spreadsheet,*.xls")
If OpenFileName = "False" Then Exit Sub
Set wb = Workbooks.Open(OpenFileName)


'Get data EXAMPLE
ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1).Range("B5:C7").Value = wb.Sheets(1).Range("B5:C7").Value


MsgBox ("Done")


Set wb = Workbooks.Open(OpenFileName, UpdateLinks:=0)


How could i get data from an external .xls file specific columns (B,G,T,W,Y,Z,AA,AB,AD,AG,AT,AU,AX) and import them to "Master" Excel columns (A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J,K,L,M):confused:

Thank you for reading ... I would be very grateful for any help

Excel Facts

Using Function Arguments with nested formulas
If writing INDEX in Func. Arguments, type MATCH(. Use the mouse to click inside MATCH in the formula bar. Dialog switches to MATCH.
After digging the web and a bit-bite of code

Code:
Sub DataImport()Dim OpenFileName As String
Dim wb As Workbook
'Select and Open workbook
OpenFileName = Application.GetOpenFilename("clients saved spreadsheet,*.xls")
If OpenFileName = "False" Then Exit Sub
Set wb = Workbooks.Open(OpenFileName)


'Get data EXAMPLE
ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1).Range("$A$3:$A$100").Value = wb.Sheets(1).Range("$B$2:$B$100").Value
ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1).Range("$B$3:$B$100").Value = wb.Sheets(1).Range("$G$2:$G$100").Value
ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1).Range("$C$3:$C$100").Value = wb.Sheets(1).Range("$T$2:$T$100").Value
ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1).Range("$D$3:$D$100").Value = wb.Sheets(1).Range("$W$2:$W$100").Value
ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1).Range("$E$3:$E$100").Value = wb.Sheets(1).Range("$Y$2:$Y$100").Value
ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1).Range("$F$3:$F$100").Value = wb.Sheets(1).Range("$Z$2:$Z$100").Value
ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1).Range("$G$3:$G$100").Value = wb.Sheets(1).Range("$AA$2:$AA$100").Value
ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1).Range("$H$3:$H$100").Value = wb.Sheets(1).Range("$AB$2:$AB$100").Value
ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1).Range("$I$3:$I$100").Value = wb.Sheets(1).Range("$AD$2:$AD$100").Value
ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1).Range("$J$3:$J$100").Value = wb.Sheets(1).Range("$AG$2:$AG$100").Value
ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1).Range("$K$3:$K$100").Value = wb.Sheets(1).Range("$AT$2:$AT$100").Value
ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1).Range("$L$3:$L$100").Value = wb.Sheets(1).Range("$AU$2:$AU$100").Value
