How to copy specific range cells from multiple sheets to one sheet? - excel

Question

I have a master workbook in one folder and 100+ child workbooks in a different folder.
Every week I need to copy a specific range of cells from the child workbooks (sheet name is same for all child books) to master workbook (specific sheet).
I tried a few samples but didn't work out.

Answer 1

I fully agree with guys who told you that none will write the code for you, but you are lucky that I have that already written and there may be other people looking for same info, so here it is.
Put the code to module in your master workbook and replace some data as commented:
Option Explicit
Sub GoThroughFilesAndCopyData()
Dim BrowseFolder As String
Dim FileItem As Object
Dim oFolder As Object
Dim FSO As Object
Dim shtWork As Worksheet
Dim lngRow As Long
Dim i As Long: i = 1
Dim strPath As String
Dim MasterSheet As Worksheet
Dim ChildSheet As Worksheet
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
' selecting the folder to look files in
With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)
.Title = "Select the folder with child workbooks"
.Show
On Error Resume Next
Err.Clear
BrowseFolder = .SelectedItems(1)
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
MsgBox "You didn't select anything!"
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Exit Sub
End If
On Error GoTo 0
End With
Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") ' creating filesystem object
Set oFolder = FSO.getfolder(BrowseFolder) ' creating folder object
Set MasterSheet = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("masterworksheet_name") 'replace masterworksheet_name with the name of your worksheet in master workbook
For Each FileItem In oFolder.Files 'looking through each file
If UCase(FileItem.Name) Like "*.XLS*" Then 'try open only excel files
i = MasterSheet.Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).row + 1 ' find last not empty row and get a next one which is empty
Workbooks.Open (BrowseFolder & Application.PathSeparator & FileItem.Name)
Set ChildSheet = Workbooks(FileItem.Name).Sheets("worksheet_name") 'worksheet_name - replace with child sheet name
With ChildSheet ' replace your_range_to_copy with the range on a child sheet you want to copy
Range("your_range_to_copy").Copy Destination:=MasterSheet.Cells(i, column_number) 'i - is the number of last empty row, replace column_number - must be the column number of range to insert
.Parent.Close SaveChanges:=False 'close child workbook without saving
End With
End If
Next
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

This will do what you want.
Copy a range of each sheet
Note: This example use the function LastRow
This example copy the range A1:G1 from each worksheet.
Change the range in this code line
'Fill in the range that you want to copy
'Set CopyRng = sh.Range("A1:G1")
Sub CopyRangeFromMultiWorksheets()
Dim sh As Worksheet
Dim DestSh As Worksheet
Dim Last As Long
Dim CopyRng As Range
With Application
.ScreenUpdating = False
.EnableEvents = False
End With
'Delete the sheet "RDBMergeSheet" if it exist
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
On Error Resume Next
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("RDBMergeSheet").Delete
On Error GoTo 0
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
'Add a worksheet with the name "RDBMergeSheet"
Set DestSh = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets.Add
DestSh.Name = "RDBMergeSheet"
'loop through all worksheets and copy the data to the DestSh
For Each sh In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
If sh.Name <> DestSh.Name Then
'Find the last row with data on the DestSh
Last = LastRow(DestSh)
'Fill in the range that you want to copy
Set CopyRng = sh.Range("A1:G1")
'Test if there enough rows in the DestSh to copy all the data
If Last + CopyRng.Rows.Count > DestSh.Rows.Count Then
MsgBox "There are not enough rows in the Destsh"
GoTo ExitTheSub
End If
'This example copies values/formats, if you only want to copy the
'values or want to copy everything look at the example below this macro
CopyRng.Copy
With DestSh.Cells(Last + 1, "A")
.PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
.PasteSpecial xlPasteFormats
Application.CutCopyMode = False
End With
'Optional: This will copy the sheet name in the H column
DestSh.Cells(Last + 1, "H").Resize(CopyRng.Rows.Count).Value = sh.Name
End If
Next
ExitTheSub:
Application.Goto DestSh.Cells(1)
'AutoFit the column width in the DestSh sheet
DestSh.Columns.AutoFit
With Application
.ScreenUpdating = True
.EnableEvents = True
End With
End Sub

'Common Functions required for all routines
Function LastRow(sh As Worksheet)
On Error Resume Next
LastRow = sh.Cells.Find(What:="*", _
After:=sh.Range("A1"), _
Lookat:=xlPart, _
LookIn:=xlFormulas, _
SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _
SearchDirection:=xlPrevious, _
MatchCase:=False).Row
On Error GoTo 0
End Function
Function LastCol(sh As Worksheet)
On Error Resume Next
LastCol = sh.Cells.Find(What:="*", _
After:=sh.Range("A1"), _
Lookat:=xlPart, _
LookIn:=xlFormulas, _
SearchOrder:=xlByColumns, _
SearchDirection:=xlPrevious, _
MatchCase:=False).Column
On Error GoTo 0
End Function
