Import Data from Multiple Sources

Hi,
I’m trying to import data from the last sheet of multiple workbooks into one
of five predetermined worksheets in a new workbook. I haven’t seen anything
on how to do this in the newsgroup and it doesn’t appear that I can use ADO
to accomplish it, so I’ve plagiarized Ron de Bruin’s code to this point. What
I have is five folders (grades 1 through 5) that contain between 28 and 31
class workbooks from each school. Each class workbook contains four sheets
and each sheet will contain at least fifteen rows of student data. I only
need the data from the last sheet("May"), less the last two rows of summary
data. In a new workbook there will be five sheets (grades 1 through 5). I
need all of the data from the last sheet of every workbook in each folder
imported into each corresponding sheet in the new workbook.. Any help would
be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Mark

Are the five sub folders below one folder ?

Let me know and I will post a example for you this evening Mark
 
Hi Mark

Test this one for me, I hope I understand you correct ?

To test open a new workbook and copy the code below in a normal module in this workbook
If it is working OK we can change DestWB to the template

Change the five lines in the first macro that you must Run (you only run the macro "Call_Merge_Macro")

Call MergeTest("C:\Users\Ron\test\1", 4, 1)

path of the folder
index of the sheet you want to copy from (sheet 4 you say)
index of the sheet you want to copy to (1 for the first folder, 2 for the second,.......)


'Start code

Dim DestWB As Workbook

Sub Call_Merge_Macro()
Set DestWB = ThisWorkbook
Call MergeTest("C:\Users\Ron\test\1", 4, 1)
Call MergeTest("C:\Users\Ron\test\2", 4, 2)
Call MergeTest("C:\Users\Ron\test\3", 4, 3)
Call MergeTest("C:\Users\Ron\test\4", 4, 4)
Call MergeTest("C:\Users\Ron\test\5", 4, 5)
End Sub

Sub MergeTest(MyPath As String, CopyShNum As Long, DestShNum As Long)
Dim FilesInPath As String
Dim MyFiles() As String
Dim SourceRcount As Long, Fnum As Long
Dim mybook As Workbook, BaseWks As Worksheet
Dim sourceRange As Range, destrange As Range
Dim rnum As Long, CalcMode As Long

'Add a slash at the end if the user forget it
If Right(MyPath, 1) <> "\" Then
MyPath = MyPath & "\"
End If

'If there are no Excel files in the folder exit the sub
FilesInPath = Dir(MyPath & "*.xl*")
If FilesInPath = "" Then
MsgBox "No files found"
Exit Sub
End If

'Fill the array(myFiles)with the list of Excel files in the folder
Fnum = 0
Do While FilesInPath <> ""
Fnum = Fnum + 1
ReDim Preserve MyFiles(1 To Fnum)
MyFiles(Fnum) = FilesInPath
FilesInPath = Dir()
Loop

'Change ScreenUpdating, Calculation and EnableEvents

CalcMode = .Calculation

.EnableEvents = False

Ron,
All I can say is "Excellent!" Your code worked great! The only question I
have is where, or how, do I add the workbook based on the template
("Repository.xlt)?
Mark
 
Sorry, Ron, the template question was stupid - I just needed to pull my head
out, so I could see for myself. Thanks again for your help, I really
appreciate it, and you did excellent work. Thanks.
Mark
 
Btw: my Example copy to column Z
You can change it in this line

Set sourceRange = .Worksheets(CopyShNum).Range("A1:Z" & LastRow(.Worksheets(CopyShNum)) - 2)
