Excel 365 Macro Question on copying multiple spreadsheets into one workbook

[bthumble]

Hello,

I have multiple dat files and want a macro that will put each file into a new excel workbook, with each dat file in a separate sheet. Found a macro on this site that might work, but the tab name has to be a specific name. Is there a way the macro would work no matter what the sheet name is? The files are in the same folder on the C drive. Also is there a way to move the files once they are copied into a subfolder called backup?

Thanks!

Is there a way the macro would work no matter what the sheet name is?

Since "dat" files are flat text files (meaning only one sheet), when you open it in Excel, you should just be able to use "ActiveSheet".

Also is there a way to move the files once they are copied into a subfolder called backup?

If you go a search on "excel vba move files to subfolder", you should find tons of results.
Here is just one: VBA Macro move files to sub folders

If you have existing code you want to modify, if you post the code here, we should be able to help you work it all out.
