Hi,

I have written a code that is supposed to combine all CSV sheets in a folder to one sheet. The code is running without errors, apart from no data is being copied to the new file. Can somebody find my mistake?


VBA Code:
Sub CombineCSVSheets()

    Dim FolderPath As String
    Dim FileName As String
    Dim wb As Workbook
    Dim ws As Worksheet
    Dim wsCombined As Worksheet
    Dim LastRow As Long
    Dim CurrentRow As Long
    
    ' Define the folder path containing the CSV files
    FolderPath = "C:\Products\AllProducts"
    
    ' Create a new workbook to combine the CSV sheets
    Set wb = Workbooks.Add
    
    ' Retrieve the first CSV file in the folder
    FileName = Dir(FolderPath & "*.csv")
    
    ' Loop through all CSV files in the folder
    Do While FileName <> ""
        ' Open the CSV file
        Workbooks.Open FileName:=FolderPath & FileName
        
        ' Copy each row of data from the CSV sheet to the combined sheet
        Set ws = ActiveSheet
        Set wsCombined = wb.Worksheets.Add(After:=wb.Worksheets(wb.Worksheets.Count))
        ws.Rows(1).Copy wsCombined.Rows(1)
        LastRow = ws.Cells(ws.Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
        CurrentRow = wsCombined.Cells(wsCombined.Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row + 1
        ws.Range("A1", "A" & LastRow).Copy wsCombined.Cells(CurrentRow, 1)
        
        ' Close the CSV file without saving changes
        wb.Worksheets(wsCombined.Name).Delete
        wb.Close SaveChanges:=False
        
        ' Retrieve the next CSV file in the folder
        FileName = Dir
    Loop
    
    ' Save and close the combined workbook
    wb.SaveAs "C:\products\AllProducts\Combined"
    wb.Close SaveChanges:=True
End Sub
 
When stepping thru the code, what happens is that it is just jumping over every line of code between "Do While FileName <> " and "wbCombined.Close SaveChanges:=True". Nothing in between these two lines are being run.
That seems to indicate that ther very first occurence of FileName = ""

If you add the line in blue in the position show ie after the initial retrieve.
What does it show in the immediate window ?
(Ctrl+G if you can't see it)
If it visually looks correct, then copy what is in the immediate window and in Excel go File > Open and paste it into the file box.
Does it show you that folder with the list of csv files ?
If not then you don't have any ".csv" extension files in that folder and you need to trouble shoot that first.

Rich (BB code):
    ' Retrieve the first CSV file in the folder.
    FileName = Dir(FolderPath & "*.csv")
    Debug.Print FolderPath & "*.csv"
