Hi, I have a master file with headings in row 1. In another folder and its sub folders there are multiple excel files and the headings are in different columns instead of rows and their values are in in next column i.e. a heading like "Location" may be in cell B5 then its value will be in next column cell C5. Similarly in another excel file the same heading "Location" might be in cell B10 then its value will be in cell C10.
I want my master file to get updated by searching all the files with the headings present in master file's row 1. Any help will be much appreciated. I am using Office 2010. I cannot use power query due to some restrictions
