Find worksheet and import data?

[MrMask]

Hi folks

I need help on loading data from many different workbooks into a different workbook/worksheet so I can analyse the data. All Excel files have the same path, but some workbooks have the specific worksheet others not. The specific worksheets have the same name and the cell range is the same.

E.g.: look for worksheet "W1" on different workbooks; if available, copy the cell range and past on column A, B, C.... (for each data set) on worksheet "summary" of workbook "Data". Row 1 needs to have the workbook name for identification.

Likely this solution is available in this forum, so send me the links so I can start.

Thx

If the solution is ready made then use of the Search facility may find it. I didn't see a ready made answer so I've knocked up a quick solution for opening the workbooks. Getting the data from each should then be fairly trivial by simply recording a macro, and substituting to reference in your code.

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim curbook As String
Dim myERR As Integer
Dim strFile As String
Dim Counter As Integer
On Error GoTo myERR
curbook = Workbooks(1).Name
Counter = 0
strFile = Dir("F:\My Documents\Worksheets\*.xls")
Do While Len(strFile) > 0
Counter = Counter + 1
If strFile <> curbook Then
    Workbooks.Open Filename:=strFile
    Sheets("w1").Select
End If
strFile = Dir
Loop
Exit Sub
myERR:
If Err.Number = 9 Then
Workbooks(Counter).Close
Resume Next
End If
End Sub

You will need to change strFile = Dir("F:\My Documents\Worksheets\*.xls") to point to your own directory of course

Good Luck
