Hi all,
Not sure what I am doing here... I am trying to figure out how to copy data from one workbook (single sheet) to another workbook (1 sheet). The problem is that I have 5 columns of data on the source sheet, and multiple rows of data to copy. The column header is a date and the row data is a simple title.
I need to be able to select the source workbook, and copy the data from that workbook/sheet to the master workbook.

I have been researching how to use Match and Index, but can not figure out how to do it... Honestly, it is making me crazy.

I have the code to open the source workbook (below), but am completely lost on how to do the match and copy to the master workbook...

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I just need something generic that I can work with to get me running in the right direction...

Thanks!

VBA Code:
Dim wbThisWB    As Workbook
    Dim wbImportWB  As Workbook
    Dim strFullPath As String
    Dim i As String
    Dim m As Variant
    Dim result As String
    
    Set wbThisWB = ThisWorkbook
    
    With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)
        .AllowMultiSelect = False
        .Title = "Please select a file to import:"
        .Filters.Add "Excel and CSV files", "*.csv; *.xls; *.xls*", 1
        .Show
        On Error Resume Next 'In case the user has clicked the <Cancel> button
            strFullPath = .SelectedItems(1)
            If Err.Number <> 0 Then
                Exit Sub 'Error has occurred so quit
            End If
        On Error GoTo 0
    End With
    
    Set wbImportWB = Workbooks.Open(strFullPath)
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    
   result = VLookup(wbImport.Sheets("data").cell(i, 1), wbThisWB.Sheets("S1 Daily Metrics"), Match(col_name, col_headers, 0), 0) [B]' was working with this, but honesltly can't figure out what to do with it, or how to use it correctly...[/B]
       
      
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
 

Excel Facts

Convert text numbers to real numbers
Select a column containing text numbers. Press Alt+D E F to quickly convert text to numbers. Faster than "Convert to Number"
OK...have been trying to figure this out and have come up with this basic function in the sheet...it sort of gets me what I want, but not?

=INDEX('[data source file.xlsx]Data'!$D$3:$H$47,MATCH($A5,'[data source file.xlsx]Data'!$A$4:$A$47,1),MATCH(B$2,'[data source file.xlsx]Data'!$D$2:$H$2,1))

No idea how to incorporate this into the VBA... I need to be able to run the above based upon the imported workbook. Worksheet name would always be the same, but the lookup in COlumn A will vary form sheet to sheet on the import, but not on consolidated... all labels will be there...
