merging two files

[morry]

I have two files that have the same format and I am trying to merge them
into one spreadsheet. I have to import both files from a CSV format.
When I import both of them into the same sheet, now, I try two bring
them into (A1). I want them in the same columns but when i bring the
second file in it pushes the first file over to the right instead of
down. Is there a way to merge these sheets to the same columns.

Thank you for any suggestions

in the command window (or use the shell command)

copy a.csv + b.csv c.csv


then import c.csv




otherwise do your import for the first at A1 and you inport for the second
at

cells(rows.count,1).end(xlup)(2)

Thanks for the help Tom. But I have another question. I am using th
macro recorder to import the external data and macros usually give m
more code than I really need to perform the function. I am not exactl
sure how to insert the piece of code you gave me, into the macro code
When I created the macro I scrolled down to the end of the first fil
and inserted the second file. I listed the pertinent code segmen
below.
The code you gave me was: cells(rows.count,1).end(xlup)(2)
I tried a couple different ways to replace this with the range but i
wouldn't work. Could you please tell me how to use this code.

Thank you very much,

Morr

I listed the pertinent code segment
below.

No you didn't. Can't do much without it.

I'm sorry Tom, I went and copied it but I forgot to paste it to thi
message. I listed it below this time.

Range("A2322").Select
With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _
"TEXT;C:\Documents and Settings\rg42735\Desktop\Monthl
Reports\Work in Progres
Report\MonthlyReportCSVs\CA\URLTemplateAction." _
, Destination:=Range("A2322"))
.Name = "URLTemplateAction._6"


Thank you,

I would try:

Activesheet.End(xlup)(2).Select
With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _
"TEXT;C:\Documents and Settings\rg42735\Desktop\Monthly
Reports\Work in Progress
Report\MonthlyReportCSVs\CA\URLTemplateAction." _
, Destination:=Selection)
Name = "URLTemplateAction._6"

I tried this code but it gives me a Run time error 438. "Object doesn'
support this property or method. Do you know why this would be? I
there any other way to accomplish this task that you may know of?

Thank you for all your help
