Hi All,

Below is the code for Macro which opens all the excel files in the given folder and pastes the data in the Macro enabled sheet

sub openfile()

Dim spath as string

dim sfil as string

dim strname as string

dim owbk as workbook

dim twbk as workbook

dim ws as worksheet

set twbk = activeworkbook

spath = "h:\desktop
ewfolder

sfil = Dir(spath & "*.xlsx")

Do while sfil <> ""

strname = spath & sfil

set owbk = workbooks.open(strname)

set ws = owbk.sheets(1)

Range("A5").select

Range(selection, selection.end(xltoright)).select

Range(selection, selection.end(xldown)).copy

twbk.sheets(1).range("A1048576").end(xlup)(2).pastespecial xlpastevalues

owbk.close false

sfil = Dir

loop

twbk.save

end sub

Can you help me to create a Button where i can save the path instead of always opening the code to choose the path and a button to run the Macro.

Thank you

Hi Karthi

You can key the full path into a cell and then refer to it via the macro.

Eg. enter the full path in cell D1 like h:\desktop\

then in your code, write spath=RANGE("D1")

To create a button, from the ribbon select Insert-Shapes and select a shape of your choice.

Then right-click the shape and select Assign Macro and select the macro that you want (in your case is openfile).

Hope this helps

Sunny
