Consolidate 4 Excel Project Lists (Workbooks) to a new Master Project List using VBA

[don1337]

Hello all,

first of all I'm a beginner in VBA and I really could need some help with a VBA code.

My task is to consolidate 4 Excel Project Lists (Workbooks) to a Master Workbook. The Project Lists has a different structure and almost different content. The relevant information is always on Sheet1 but it has completely different ranges. The only constant is the Project Number, which should be used to sort the information. Every Project should be listed only once with all the existing information.

I found a code written by Ron de Bruin which has already some components that I want to have in my VBA but I think there are still a lot of necessary adjustments to do.

Sub MergeSelectedWorkbooks()
    Dim SummarySheet As Worksheet
    Dim FolderPath As String
    Dim SelectedFiles() As Variant
    Dim NRow As Long
    Dim FileName As String
    Dim NFile As Long
    Dim WorkBk As Workbook
    Dim SourceRange As Range
    Dim DestRange As Range
    
    ' Create a new workbook and set a variable to the first sheet.
    Set SummarySheet = Workbooks.Add(xlWBATWorksheet).Worksheets(1)
    
    ' Modify this folder path to point to the files you want to use.
    FolderPath = "C:\Documents and Settings\bergda4\My Documents\Project lists"
    
    ' Set the current directory to the the folder path.
    ChDrive FolderPath
    ChDir FolderPath
    
    ' Open the file dialog box and filter on Excel files, allowing multiple files
    ' to be selected.
    SelectedFiles = Application.GetOpenFilename( _
        filefilter:="Excel Files (*.xls*), *.xls*", MultiSelect:=True)
    
    ' NRow keeps track of where to insert new rows in the destination workbook.
    NRow = 1
    
    ' Loop through the list of returned file names
    For NFile = LBound(SelectedFiles) To UBound(SelectedFiles)
        ' Set FileName to be the current workbook file name to open.
        FileName = SelectedFiles(NFile)
        
        ' Open the current workbook.
        Set WorkBk = Workbooks.Open(FileName)
        
        ' Set the source range to be A1 through AZ55000.
        ' Modify this range for your workbooks. It can span multiple rows.
        Set SourceRange = WorkBk.Worksheets(1).Range("A1:AZ55000")
        
        ' Set the destination range to start at column B and be the same size as the source range.
        Set DestRange = SummarySheet.Range("B" & NRow)
        Set DestRange = DestRange.Resize(SourceRange.Rows.Count, _
           SourceRange.Columns.Count)
           
        ' Copy over the values from the source to the destination.
        DestRange.Value = SourceRange.Value
        
        ' Increase NRow so that we know where to copy data next.
        NRow = NRow + DestRange.Rows.Count
        
        ' Close the source workbook without saving changes.
        WorkBk.Close savechanges:=False
    Next NFile
    
    ' Call AutoFit on the destination sheet so that all data is readable.
    SummarySheet.Columns.AutoFit
End Sub

The Master Project List should has the headers in Row1 and the information listed below. The Macro should automatically places the correct information to the correct column. Some of the information are in 2 or more of the lists but they should be listed only once in the Master List.

[TABLE="class: grid, width: 500"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]Project Number
[/TD]
[TD]Project Description
[/TD]
[TD]...
[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]1111E.000000001[/TD]
[TD]Noodles[/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]1111E.000000002[/TD]
[TD]Rice[/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD].
.
.[/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

I guess a problem is that the structures of the Lists are quite different so there must be a kind of sorting process.


In the end I want to have an Excel File with the Macro and a Command Button and by clicking the Macro creates a new Workbook with the Master List.

It would be better if there is a variable range instead of a defined. Like the Macro searches the last row and starts at this row and column.



I hope I explained my task comprehensible. I really appreciate any kind of help.

Thank you in advance!
Daniel

When I try to run the Macro I always get the following error:

"Run-Time error '9': Subcript out of range" at line

<code>Set Dest = wbkActive.Worksheets(DestinationSheet).Range(DestStartCell)


</code>What's the problem?
