Setting a Column Value Using 'Range' is Giving An Error - excel

The below code copies data from multiple worksheets and consolidates into database (database worksheet). I am trying to add a new column at the last unused column of database worksheet that gives the name of the sheets in each row, the data is copied from with the column header as "Sheet Name". The problem is, I am trying to start with adding the header by using wsData.Range(1, wsData.Cells(1, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Offset(0, 1)).Value = "SheetName", but unfortunately, it is giving an error.
The program is currently taking 6 minutes to process around 25,000 rows, so is there a way to make it faster?
I am not very well-versed with VBA and I received the below code from another stack overflow question. Below is my code. Any help will be appreciated.

VBA browse excel files through userfrom and execute Vlookup

I am trying to create user form (like on picture) from where I would choose 2 excel files and execute Vlookup. I
I try this code but it does not execute Vlookup.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Option Explicit
Dim FileToOpen1 As Variant
Dim FileToOpen2 As Variant
Dim wb1 As Workbook
Dim wb2 As Workbook
Dim ws1 As Worksheet
Dim ws2 As Worksheet
Dim rng1 As Range
Dim rng2 As Range
Dim cl As Range
Private Sub BrowseButton1_Click()
FileToOpen1 = Application.GetOpenFilename(Title:="Browse for your file", FileFilter:="Excel Files(*.xls*),*xls*")
If FileToOpen1 <> False Then
TextBox1 = FileToOpen1
End If
End Sub
Private Sub BrowseButton2_Click()

If FileToOpen2 <> False Then
TextBox2 = FileToOpen2

If FileToOpen1 <> False Then

rng2 = wb2.Sheets(1).Range("A3:C8")
For Each cl In rng1
wb1.Sheets(1).Cells(Price_row, Price_clm) = Application.WorksheetFunction.VLOOKUP(cl, rng2, 2, False)
Price_row = Price_row + 1
Next cl
End Sub
You are missing two variable definitions:
Dim Price_row As Long
Dim Price_clm As Long
And variables for range need to be assigned with Set
This: Set rng2 = wb2.Sheets(1).Range("A3:C8") instead of this rng2 = wb2.Sheets(1).Range("A3:C8")
Now, vlookup function in vba will throw an error when it doesnt find a value.
A workaround for this will be something like this.
Private Sub OK_Click()
If FileToOpen1 <> False Then
Set wb1 = Application.Workbooks.Open(FileToOpen1)
End If
If FileToOpen2 <> False Then
Set wb2 = Application.Workbooks.Open(FileToOpen2)
End If
Set rng1 = wb1.Sheets(1).Range("B3:B8")
Price_row = wb1.Sheets(1).Range("C3").Row
Price_clm = wb1.Sheets(1).Range("C3").Column
Set rng2 = wb2.Sheets(1).Range("A3:C8")
For Each cl In rng1
On Error Resume Next
vlResult = "" 'Reset variable
vlResult = Application.WorksheetFunction.VLookup(cl, rng2, 2, False) 'Performs vlookup
If Not vlResult = "" Then
wb1.Sheets(1).Cells(Price_row, Price_clm).Value = vlResult
Else
wb1.Sheets(1).Cells(Price_row, Price_clm).Value = "N/A"
End If
Price_row = Price_row + 1
Next cl
End Sub
*Dont forget to add the variable too.

Not sure what I've done wrong.
If possible, it would be great to also be able to return the value of Column A or copy Columns A - H into the sheet.
I.e. If found.address is (C,4) then also return (A,4).
Many thanks!
Whenever you have a situation where your code does multiple things like:
ask for a folder
find all files in that folder
find all cell matches in each sheet in each file
you're better off pushing any functionality which can be wrapped in its own sub/function into a stand-alone method, so you can focus on your actual task and its logic, instead of having it overwhelmed by all of the sub-tasks and their logic/rules.
Plus, once you've created your focused sub-methods, you can re-use them later.
Applying that approach to your task:
Sub SearchFolders()
Dim arrSearch As Variant
Dim rw As Long, s
Dim folderPath As String, f, allFiles As Collection, allCells As Collection
Dim wb As Workbook, ws As Worksheet, wsOut As Worksheet, c
arrSearch = Array("item a", "item b", "item c", "item d")
folderPath = SelectFolder() 'get a folder from the user
If Len(folderPath) = 0 Then Exit Sub 'no selected folder
Set allFiles = MatchingFiles(folderPath, "*.xls*") 'find all matching files
If allFiles.Count = 0 Then
MsgBox "No matching files found!"
Exit Sub
End If
Set wsOut = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets.Add()
wsOut.Range("A1:E1").Value = Array("Workbook", "Worksheet", _
"Cell", "Filler", "Cell Text")
rw = 2
For Each f In allFiles 'loop files
With Workbooks.Open(f, ReadOnly:=True)
For Each ws In .Worksheets 'loop workbooks
For Each s In arrSearch 'loop search terms
Set allCells = FindAll(ws.UsedRange, s)
For Each c In allCells 'loop matches
wsOut.Cells(rw, 1).Resize(1, 5).Value = _

Find String and extract in vba using fso

so my code currently goes through a folder and extracts Ranges of data from every file in the folder into a format set by me, it also extracts the filename.
Now i need to use fso to search for certain string inside the file not the filename, lets say "Smart", and in the file "Smart" appears quite a few times, but i only want to extract it once.
Thank you so much to anyone who is able to provide me the small part of the code or some advices to help me continue on!

Copy data from several Word documents to one Excel workbook using Word VBA

I have about 100 Word documents and from each I want to copy data and paste it all in one Excel workbook.
I came up with this code which opens one Word document, copies data, pastes it to Excel and closes the Word document:
Sub WordDataToExcel()
Dim myObj
Dim myWB
Dim mySh
Dim txt As String, Lgth As Long, Strt As Long
Dim i As Long
Dim oRng As Range
Dim Tgt As String
Dim TgtFile As String
Dim arr()
Dim ArrSize As Long
Dim ArrIncrement As Long
ArrIncrement = 1000
ArrSize = ArrIncrement
ReDim arr(ArrSize)
Dim wrdDoc As Object
Documents.Open ("D:\ekr5_i.doc")
TgtFile = "result.xlsx"
Tgt = "D:\" & TgtFile
'finds the text string of Lgth lenght
txt = "thetext"
Lgth = 85
Strt = Len(txt)
'Return data to array
With Selection
.HomeKey unit:=wdStory
With .Find
.ClearFormatting
.Forward = True
.Text = txt
.Execute
While .Found
i = i + 1
Set oRng = ActiveDocument.Range _
(Start:=Selection.Range.Start + Strt, _
End:=Selection.Range.End + Lgth)
arr(i) = oRng.Text
oRng.Start = oRng.End
.Execute
If i = ArrSize - 20 Then
ArrSize = ArrSize + ArrIncrement
ReDim Preserve arr(ArrSize)
End If
Wend
End With
End With
ReDim Preserve arr(i)
'Set target and write data
Set myObj = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
Set myWB = myObj.Workbooks.Open(Tgt)
Set mySh = myWB.Sheets(1)
With mySh
.Range(.Cells(1, 1), .Cells(i, 1)) = myObj.Transpose(arr)
End With
'Tidy up
myWB.Close True
myObj.Quit
ActiveDocument.Close SaveChanges:=wdDoNotSaveChanges
Set mySh = Nothing
Set myWB = Nothing
Set myObj = Nothing
End Sub
I need to loop through all the documents in the folder.
I have implemented the same with Excel workbooks, but I don't know how for Word documents.
Here is the code for Excel workbooks:
Sub combine_into_one()
Dim FSO As Object: Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Dim strPath$, Pivot$, sUserName$, sFolderName$, sSourceName$, x&
Dim oFldialog As FileDialog
Dim oFolder
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Set oFldialog = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)
With oFldialog
If .Show = -1 Then
.Title = "Select a Folder"
.AllowMultiSelect = False
.InitialFileName = strPath
sFolderName = .SelectedItems(1)
End If
End With
Set oFolder = FSO.GetFolder(sFolderName)
Workbooks.Add: Pivot = ActiveWorkbook.Name 'Destination workbook
For Each oFile In oFolder.Files
Workbooks(Pivot).Activate
x = Workbooks(Pivot).Sheets(1).Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeLastCell).Row + 1
Workbooks.Open Filename:=oFile: sSourceName = ActiveWorkbook.Name
Workbooks(sSourceName).Activate
Workbooks(sSourceName).Sheets(1).[A80:Q94].copy
Workbooks(Pivot).Activate
Workbooks(Pivot).Sheets(1).Cells(x + 1, 1).PasteSpecial xlPasteAll
Workbooks(sSourceName).Close False
Next
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
Application.ScreenUpdating = True

In this scenario, whatever you put in the headers of B1:K1 (or more to the right) is searched for, each word document in a folder is opened, scanned, and if the string in B1:K1 is found, an 'x' is placed in the same x-y coordinate.
Again, if this doesn't help, please describe your issue better, and I'll post back with alternative solutions. Thanks!!

Exclude headers from calculation

The following code has a problem with calculation.
This calculation finds out the % of rows filled per column. However because of the headers, when a sheet has no values in the columns but has headers it shows as 50%, which isn't correct.
Is there any way to alter this so It doesn't include headers in the calculation? Would this be the best work around?
Sub Stackage()

Make one small change to this line:
measurement = Application.WorksheetFunction.CountA(ws.Range(ws.Cells(1, i), ws.Cells(lrw, i))) / lrw
Change it to this:
measurement = ws.Evaluate("sumproduct((" & ws.Range(ws.Cells(2, i), ws.Cells(lrw, i)).Address & "<>"""")+0)") / (lrw - 1)
