Hi, I wonder whether someone may be able to help me please.
Firstly, I'd like to apologise because my VB is not my strongest subject, so to some this may be a very basic error.
From a tutorial I've found, I've adapted the code (below) to allow the user to copy from multiple Excel files, combining them into one 'Master' spreadsheet.
The macro works fine when it is copying the data from one range, but I'd now like to add to this and copy data from another range within the same sheet. The two ranges are A:AJ and AL:AX.
In it's current form, the section of script below deals with the setting of the range, but I'm really unsure about how to adapt this to include the second range.
Could someone perhaps offer a little guidance please on how I may go about copying the data from two, rather than the one range please.
Any help would be gratefully received.
Many thanks and kind regards
