I have 2 workbooks in same directory. Workbook 1 contain sheet A only and Workbook 2 contains sheets B and C. How can I merge sheet A and sheet C to my current workbook?


Make sure you open your source workbooks and then use the Worksheet.Move method or the Worksheet.Copy method to move or copy them into your current workbook.
Dim SourceWb1 As Workbook
Set SourceWb1 = Workbooks.Open(FileName:="C:\Path\To\Your\workbook1.xls")
SourceWb1.Worksheets("Sheet A").Move After:=ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(ThisWorkbook.Worksheets.Count)
Dim SourceWb2 As Workbook
Set SourceWb2 = Workbooks.Open(FileName:="C:\Path\To\Your\workbook2.xls")
SourceWb2.Worksheets("Sheet C").Move After:=ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(ThisWorkbook.Worksheets.Count)
If you used the .Move method make sure you don't forget to save your source workbooks:
SourceWb1.Close SaveChanges:=True
SourceWb2.Close SaveChanges:=True
If you used the .Copy method close them without saving:
SourceWb1.Close SaveChanges:=False
SourceWb2.Close SaveChanges:=False

Merge excel workbooks from folder into new open workbook

This Macro I have continues to merge the files from my folder into the current open workbook. I am trying to open a new workbook and have it merge into the new open workbook. I am not sure where I need to activate the newly opened/ added workbook in order for the merge to take place in that file.
Sub MergeWorkbooks()
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Workbooks.Add
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs FileName:="C:\ ....\Merged Files.xlsx"
Dim FolderPath As String
Dim Filename As String
Dim Sheet As Worksheet
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
FolderPath = "<Folder destination>"
Filename = Dir(FolderPath & "*.xls*")
workbooks("Merged Files.xlsx").Activate
Do While Filename <> ""
Workbooks.Open Filename:=FolderPath & Filename, ReadOnly:=True
For Each Sheet In ActiveWorkbook.Sheets
Sheet.Copy After:=ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1)
Next Sheet
Workbooks(Filename).Close
Filename = Dir()
Loop
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Since Workbooks.Add and Workbooks.Open return a reference to the newly added or opened workbook, use two Workbook variables:
Dim mergedWb As Workbook
Set mergedWb = Workbooks.Add()
mergedWb.SaveAs FileName:="C:\ ....\Merged Files.xlsx"
...
Do While Filename <> ""
Dim wb As Workbook
Set wb = Workbooks.Open(Filename:=FolderPath & Filename, ReadOnly:=True)
For Each Sheet In wb.Sheets
Sheet.Copy After:=mergedWb.Sheets(1)
Next Sheet
wb.Close
Filename = Dir()
Loop

VBA merge xls file without xlsx file

I want to merge all workbook with xls extension only. But this code will merge xlsx file together, How can I solve this problem?
One more question, I want to merge these file into a new workbook. When I use Set wb = Workbooks.Add, this code will create a new workbook but not merge inside it. All of the merge file will merge in my first workbook, I wan them to be appear in my new workbook.
Option Explicit
Sub MergeWorkbooks()
Dim Path As String
Dim FileName As String
Dim WS As Worksheet
Dim wb As Workbook
Application.EnableEvents = False
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Path = "C:\Users\Name\Documents\"
FileName = Dir(Path & "\*.xls", vbNormal)
Do Until FileName = ""
Set wb = Workbooks.Open(FileName:=Path & "\" & FileName)
For Each WS In wb.Worksheets
WS.Copy After:=ThisWorkbook.Sheets(ThisWorkbook.Sheets.Count)
Next WS
wb.Close False
FileName = Dir()
Loop
Application.EnableEvents = True
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Referencing Non-Active Workbook Using Macro in Personal Workbook

I have a macro that works in any Excel workbook but doesn't work once I place it in my PERSONAL.XLSB file. My goal is to take the tabs from all of the files in a folder on my desktop and copy them into the active file. I know the issue is that I am using This.Workbook as the location reference for the copied tabs but I don't know how else to reference the workbook I am trying to copy the tabs into. I don't want to reference a filepath for where to copy the tabs since this will be used by multiple people in multiple files. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Sub CombineWorkbooks()
Dim Path As Variant
Path = GetFolder(1) & "\"
Dim FileName As String
FileName = Dir(Path & "*.xl??")
Dim ws As Worksheet
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Do While FileName <> ""
Workbooks.Open Path & FileName
For Each ws In ActiveWorkbook.Sheets
ws.Copy after:=ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(ThisWorkbook.Worksheets.Count)
Next ws
Workbooks(FileName).Close
FileName = Dir()
Loop
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
Exit Sub
End Sub

If you define the file to a variable or activeworkbook it should work.
UPDATED as I think I slightly misunderstood the overall objective of macro but the concept is still the same. Let me know if this doesn't work.
Sub CombineWorkbooks()
Dim Path As Variant
Path = GetFolder(1) & "\"
Dim FileName As String
FileName = Dir(Path & "*.xl??")
Dim ws As Worksheet, wkBkToCopyTo As Workbook
Set wkBkToCopyTo = ActiveWorkbook 'assuming that you run this with the destination open.
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Do While FileName <> ""
Workbooks.Open Path & FileName
For Each ws In ActiveWorkbook.Sheets
ws.Copy after:=wkBkToCopyTo.Worksheets(wkBkToCopyTo.Worksheets.Count)
Next ws
Workbooks(FileName).Close
FileName = Dir()
Loop
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
Exit Sub
End Sub
You could also try to find it based on its name:
'you could also use a loop to find it
For Each wkBkToCopyTo In Application.Workbooks
If InStr(1, wkBkToCopyTo.Name, "someNameof the workbook", vbTextCompare) > 0 Then
Exit For
End If
Next wkBkToCopyTo

Code runs when copy/pasted as macro, but not when saved as add-in

As the title suggests, this code fails on the line Sheet.Copy After:=ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1) with runtime error 1004
Why would this run when added as a module but not when saved as an add-in?
Here's the code:
Dim FolderPath As String
Dim Filename As String
Dim Sheet As Worksheet
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
FolderPath = GetFolder() & "\"
Filename = Dir(FolderPath & "*.xls*")
Do While Filename <> ""
Workbooks.Open Filename:=FolderPath & Filename, ReadOnly:=True
For Each Sheet In ActiveWorkbook.Sheets
Sheet.Copy After:=ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1)
Next Sheet
Workbooks(Filename).Close
Filename = Dir()
Loop
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

As #BruceWayne suggested is a problem with deciding the correct workbook. As an AddIn, ThisWorkbook will be the AddIn workbook, while ActiveWorkbook (before opening others), will be the workbook you are running your AddIn into.
Simply replacing Thisworkbook with ActiveWorkbook in your scenario won't work, because you would just copy the sheets from the newly open workbook, to the same.
Is a good idea to declare variables to hold this informations, then you can open as many workbooks as you want, and from where you want.
See below:
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim wbDst As Workbook: Set wbDst = ActiveWorkbook 'Can also use Worbooks("book name here")
Dim wbSrc As Workbook
Dim Sht As Worksheet
Dim FolderPath As String: FolderPath = GetFolder() & "\"
Dim FileName As String: FileName = Dir(FolderPath & "*.xls*")
Do While FileName <> ""
Set wbSrc = Workbooks.Open(FileName:=FolderPath & FileName, ReadOnly:=True)
For Each Sht In wbSrc.Worksheets
Sht.Copy After:=wbDst.Sheets(1)
Next Sht
wbSrc.Close
FileName = Dir()
Loop
Application.ScreenUpdating = True

Copy data from multiple workbooks in a folder into one workbook paste special only value

I want to Copy all sheets of multiple workbooks within a folder into another single workbook. I found below code but do not know how to paste special only values to avoid unnecessary formatting.
Sub GetSheets()
Path = "C:\Users\mechee69\Download\"
Filename = Dir(Path & "*.xls")
Do While Filename <> ""
Workbooks.Open Filename:=Path & Filename, ReadOnly:=True
For Each Sheet In ActiveWorkbook.Sheets
Sheet.Copy After:=ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1)
Next Sheet
Workbooks(Filename).Close
Filename = Dir()
Loop
End Sub

Try the code below, it will PasteSpecial only the Values, if you want you can extend to copy also the Formats.
Option Explicit
Sub GetSheets()
Dim Path As String, Filename As String
Dim WB As Workbook
Dim Sht As Worksheet, ShtDest As Worksheet
Path = "C:\Users\mechee69\Download\"
Filename = Dir(Path & "*.xls*")
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Do While Filename <> ""
Set WB = Workbooks.Open(Filename:=Path & Filename, ReadOnly:=True)
For Each Sht In WB.Sheets
Set ShtDest = ThisWorkbook.Sheets.Add(After:=Sheets(1))
Sht.Cells.Copy
ShtDest.Name = Sht.Name '<-- might raise an error in case there are 2 sheets with the same name
ShtDest.Cells.PasteSpecial xlValues
Next Sht
WB.Close
Filename = Dir()
Loop
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
End Sub
