Hello,
I am looking to extract data from multiple files in a directory within the same range and put them into a "Master Worksheet". In addition I want to also insert a column right next to the previously inserted data and have the filename that the data came from.
I already have a code that I found that goes into the directory I want and extracts the data (per this forum) however I am not sure how to also insert the file name right next to the data that was inserted. Is there an easy way to do this?

VBA Code:
Sub ExtracData()



Dim summary As Workbook

Dim wb As Workbook

Dim directory As String

Dim fileName As String

Dim NextRow As Long



Application.DisplayAlerts = False

Application.ScreenUpdating = False





directory = "C:\Users\hidden\Downloads\CRT\"

fileName = Dir(directory & "*.xl*")

Set summary = ThisWorkbook



Do While fileName <> ""

If fileName <> ThisWorkbook.Name Then

Set wb = Workbooks.Open(directory & fileName)

wb.Worksheets("Hidden").Range("A10:A1000").Copy  'heres where it copies the range but I also need to insert the file name in the column next to it

summary.Activate

NextRow = Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row + 1

Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A" & NextRow).Select

Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteAll, operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False

wb.Close savechanges:=False

End If

fileName = Dir

Loop



Application.DisplayAlerts = True

Application.ScreenUpdating = True



MsgBox "Automation Complete"

End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Return population for a City
If you have a list of cities in A2:A100, use Data, Geography. Then =A2.Population and copy down.
Hi & welcome to MrExcel.
Will A10:A1000 always have values in every cell?

Ok, how about
VBA Code:
Sub ExtracData()
   Dim wb As Workbook
   Dim Pth As String
   Dim FName As String
   Dim UsdRws As Long

   Application.DisplayAlerts = False
   Application.ScreenUpdating = False
   
   Pth = "C:\Users\hidden\Downloads\CRT\"
   FName = Dir(Pth & "*.xl*")
   
   With ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1")
      Do While FName <> ""
         If FName <> ThisWorkbook.Name Then
            Set wb = Workbooks.Open(Pth & FName)
            UsdRws = wb.Worksheets("Hidden").Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
            With .Range("A" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1).Resize(UsdRws - 9)
               .Value = wb.Worksheets("Hidden").Range("A10:A" & UsdRws).Value
               .Offset(, 1).Value = FName
            End With
            wb.Close False
         End If
         FName = Dir
      Loop
   End With
      
   Application.DisplayAlerts = True
   
   MsgBox "Automation Complete"

End Sub
