Place this code into a standard VBA module of your workbook XYZ.xls and give it a try (you will still need to add a button that invokes the macro, and I would suggest to let the user decide where to save it by using the standard File | Save As command) :
Sub ConsolidateFilesIntoMasterWorkbook() Dim folderName As String With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker) .InitialFileName = Application.DefaultFilePath & "\" .Title = "Please selected the folder containing the files you would like to consolidate." .Show If .SelectedItems.Count = 0 Then Exit Sub Else folderName = .SelectedItems(1) End If End With Dim masterWb As Workbook, sourceWb As Workbook Set masterWb = ActiveWorkbook Dim fs As Object Dim objFolder As Object Dim wbFile As Object Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set objFolder = fs.GetFolder(folderName) Application.ScreenUpdating = False Dim sh As Worksheet Dim rSource As Range, rTarget As Range For Each wbFile In objFolder.Files Set sourceWb = Workbooks.Open(wbFile.Path) For Each sh In sourceWb.Worksheets Set rSource = sh.UsedRange.Rows("2:" & sh.UsedRange.Rows.Count) Set rTarget = masterWb.Sheets(1).Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Offset(1) rSource.Copy Destination:=rTarget Next sh sourceWb.Close (False) Next wbFile Application.ScreenUpdating = True End Sub It is IMPORTANT that only the files you want to consolidate are in the selected folder, and no other files!!!
