Macro to access multiple Excel files

[sri_san]

Hello,
I am trying to look for some pointers to get me started with
macros in Excel. I have been assigned to create a macro which would
consolidate and pivot data from the excel files(particular worksheet)
present in a directory into a new excel file. I do apologize for
asking a vague question but that is all I got.

Thanks,
Sam.

Thanks for the pointer. Worked great! One thing which is undesirable
while running the macro is when "workbooks.open(filename)" is invoked,
I can actually see the files being opened in the taskbar. Is there a
way to avoid that?

Thanks,
Sam

This has to be done programmatically since the macro is used on
multiple machines.

Thanks,
Sam.

Try

Application.ShowWindowsInTaskbar = False
