Many files to one??

Many files to one??

Many files to one??

(OP)
So here's the deal.  I get emailed daily production from 9 wells, each is a separate file and each file gets renamed for each month/year.  I take each of these 9 separate files, (soon to be quite a bit more) and have to take the past week's data from them and put it on another spreadsheet that I upload into a database to create my weekly report for the area.  I'm just looking for any ideas on how I can make this easier on myself.  9 is not bad right now but 20, 30, 50... will be.  Any imput would be very much appreciated.  Thank You

RE: Many files to one??

MS Query.  

But what is the point of the intermediate spreadsheet?  I'm sure that you can query the incoming spreadsheets directly from the database.

RE: Many files to one??

You might have to write a VBA routine to "add" all the data together or whatever you need.

You might try Tek-Tips.com, a sister site to this one where the computer geeks dwell.

RE: Many files to one??

I don't understand the intermediate spreadsheet either.  I'd just use the External Data option in Access and append the files to your production table.  You could put all the files in a folder by month and write a VBA routine to suck them all in in a batch job.
