Hello everybody! This is my first post on this forum. I am trying to consolidate many reports into one workbook for data analysis purposes.
I found the macro code pasted below on the internet and it works great to merge continuous columns from different workbooks placed in a folder into one workbook. But what I would like to do is only transfer certain columns from the different reports into the designated workbook. For example, column A, C, F, I, etc.
I have highlighted the appropriate line in red below. It works great if the range is just column A or column A:C, but how do I modify it to select column A, column C, and column I? I tried modifying the code but began running errors. Maybe it is just a simple syntax error. Please let me know. Thank you very much.
