Hi,

I hope someone can help.

I am trying to create a command within a master document that will loop through a folder and extract values from specific cells and paste them to the master document. The folder has hundreds of individual files, all named differently, and each file has multiple worksheets but all worksheets are in the same format so cell references are uniform. I have managed to create something which I think should work but unfortunately I have been getting the Run-time error 5 at the point where the information is to be transferred:

VBA Code:
Sub LoopThroughLogs()

Dim wb As Workbook, ws As Worksheet
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set fldr = fso.GetFolder("T:\ThinkTank\CENTRAL FILES\LOGS\RETURNED LOGS\")

y = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row + 1

For Each wbFile In fldr.Files

y = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row + 1

If fso.GetExtensionName(wbFile.Name) = "xls" Then
   
    Set wb = Workbooks.Open(wbFile.Path)
   
    For Each ws In wb.Sheets
       
    ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Cells(y, 2) = ws.Cells("F4")       '''HERE IS WHERE THE RUN-TIME ERROR INTERUPTS THE COMMAND
    ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Cells(y, 3) = ws.Cells("F6")
    ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Cells(y, 4) = ws.Cells("B11")
    ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Cells(y, 5) = ws.Cells("I11")
    y = y + 1

    Next ws
       
    wb.Close
   
End If

Next wbFile

End Sub


If anyone has any ideas that might help I'd be very grateful.

Thanks

Do you hate GETPIVOTDATA?
Prevent GETPIVOTDATA. Select inside a PivotTable. In the Analyze tab of the ribbon, open the dropown next to Options and turn it off

Thanks for the quick response.

This
VBA Code:
ws.Cells("F4")
should be
VBA Code:
ws.Range("F4").value
you will need to make that change to the other rows.
