I need a code please that will open some files within a folder and insert a column in AD with a header of Eurostd and close and save.

Is this possible please? Thanks
 

Excel Facts

What is the last column in Excel?
Excel columns run from A to Z, AA to AZ, AAA to XFD. The last column is XFD.
Is it 'some' or all files in the folder?

Also, which sheet(s) should the column be inserted in?

It is all and they are all sheet 1. There are some before close codes in them also so they are .xlsm files.

Perhaps something like this then.
Code:
Dim wb As Workbook
Dim FSO As Object
Dim fld As Object
Dim fl As Object
Dim strPath As String

    strPath = "C:\test\" ' change path as required

    Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

    Set fld = FSO.GetFolder(strPath)
    
    Application.EnableEvents = False
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    
    For Each fl In fld.Files
        If Right(fl, 4) = ".xlsm" Then
            Set wb = Workbooks.Open(fl.Path)
            wb.Sheets(1).Range("AD:AD").EntireColumn.Insert xlShiftToRight
            wb.Sheets(1).Range("A1").Value = "Eurostd"
            wb.Close SaveChanges:=True
        End If
    Next fl

    Application.EnableEvents = True
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False

You can add your own, for example.
Code:
Sub InsertEurostdCol()

Dim wb As Workbook
Dim FSO As Object
Dim fld As Object
Dim fl As Object
Dim strPath As String

    strPath = "C:\test\" ' change path as required

    Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

    Set fld = FSO.GetFolder(strPath)
    
    Application.EnableEvents = False
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    
    For Each fl In fld.Files
        If Right(fl, 4) = ".xlsm" Then
            Set wb = Workbooks.Open(fl.Path)
            wb.Sheets(1).Range("AD:AD").EntireColumn.Insert xlShiftToRight
            wb.Sheets(1).Range("A1").Value = "Eurostd"
            wb.Close SaveChanges:=True
        End If
    Next fl

    Application.EnableEvents = True
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False

End Sub

Think there was a typo in what I copied into my post, try this.
Code:
Sub InsertEurostdCol()

Dim wb As Workbook
Dim FSO As Object
Dim fld As Object
Dim fl As Object
Dim strPath As String

    strPath = "C:\test\" ' change path as required

    Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

    Set fld = FSO.GetFolder(strPath)
    
    Application.EnableEvents = False
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    
    For Each fl In fld.Files

        If Right(fl.Name, 4) = ".xlsm" Then

            Set wb = Workbooks.Open(fl.Path)
            wb.Sheets(1).Range("AD:AD").EntireColumn.Insert xlShiftToRight
            wb.Sheets(1).Range("A1").Value = "Eurostd"
            wb.Close SaveChanges:=True
        End If
    Next fl

    Application.EnableEvents = True
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False

End Sub
