VBA copying data from multiple workbooks and worksheets to a Master worksheet

I was successful in copying data from multiple workbooks which had the same headers using the below VBA code but received data into multiple worksheets which I want on a single worksheet as a "Master Consolidated" one.

Sub mergeFiles()
'Merges all files in a folder to a main file.

'Define variables:
Dim numberOfFilesChosen, i As Integer
Dim tempFileDialog As FileDialog
Dim mainWorkbook, sourceWorkbook As Workbook
Dim tempWorkSheet As Worksheet

Set mainWorkbook = Application.ActiveWorkbook
Set tempFileDialog = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)

'Allow the user to select multiple workbooks
tempFileDialog.AllowMultiSelect = True

numberOfFilesChosen = tempFileDialog.Show

'Loop through all selected workbooks
For i = 1 To tempFileDialog.SelectedItems.Count

'Open each workbook
Workbooks.Open tempFileDialog.SelectedItems(i)

Set sourceWorkbook = ActiveWorkbook

'Copy each worksheet to the end of the main workbook
For Each tempWorkSheet In sourceWorkbook.Worksheets
tempWorkSheet.Copy After:=mainWorkbook.Sheets(mainWorkbook.Worksheets.Count)
Next tempWorkSheet

'Close the source workbook
sourceWorkbook.Close
Next i

End Sub

Excel Facts

Format cells as date
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+3 to format cells as date. (Shift 3 is the # sign which sort of looks like a small calendar).
Do you want to include an XL2BB copy of one or your source workbooks and of the Master sheet ?
This line is copying the whole sheet into the Master Workbook.
tempWorkSheet.Copy After:=mainWorkbook.Sheets(mainWorkbook.Worksheets.Count)
Appending just the data is a bit more involved since you need to keep work out the data range of the source workbook's data and what row you are up to in the Master Data Worksheet.

Did you get a solution? I had exactly the same issue and I got the solution right here in this forum! What I dont know is the FORUM POLICY if it allows me to give you the solution. Perhaps an ADMIN can guide us here since I can see you are also new like me?

Here is the solution. My headers are on row 1 and 2. Code picks the headers from the first Workbook, Worksheet "Master" then it appends the data from row 3 of every Workbook (Sheets.("Master") until the last Workbook in the folder. Try it out! I have numbered the lines for ease of discussion.

You will want to remove Line 80 to 83 because, unlike me, you do not need a CSV file.

My issue of the output file being a .CSV has been resolved.

I wish it could automatically save the file at LINE 83 as the FolderNAME.CSV.

When I run this macro, it will save the data in my PERSONAL.XLSB file. How can make it run in the actual master worksheet instead? Which part of the above code has to be changed to the active worksheet?
