Hi everyone,
I have found useful tips and shortcuts on this website before. This is my first time posting on the forum and I don't really know how to script in VBA (or any other language) or how to use PowerQuery. So I have a task/question that may be rather simple for intermediate or advanced users of Excel:
In the title of the question by "combine" I mean the following:
I have individual rows of specific lengths in Sheet 2 of multiple workbooks (about 100 workbooks) and I would like to copy all those rows and paste them one below the other in Sheet 1 of a new "Combined" workbook and form one big table.
The exact sequence would be like this:
Copy the values from Range C5:L5 in Sheet 2 of Workbook 1, paste as values in B2:K2 of Sheet 1 of "Combined" Workbook. Then copy similar values from Range C5:L5 in Sheet 2 of Workbook 2, paste as values in B3:K3 of Sheet 1 of "Combined" Workbook. Loop through all the workbooks in a folder (masterFolder) and complete the first table.
Once that is complete, repeat the above process for a slightly different range. That is, Copy values from O5:X5 in Sheet 2 of Workbook 1, paste as values in B2:K2 of Sheet 2 of "Combined" Workbook. Then copy similar values from Range O5:X5 in Sheet 2 of Workbook 2, paste as values in B3:K3 of Sheet 2 of "Combined" Workbook. Loop through all the workbooks in the same folder (masterFolder) for this second range and complete the table in Sheet 2. Repeat this for a third range (but I think I can make those modifications once I know how to automate these two steps).
I am looking at VBA (for and DoWhile loops) and PowerQuery (append feature) but since I don't yet know enough about either of them I feel overwhelmed and am not able to make real progress. So any leads, links to tutorials that would directly address these two questionseither using VBA or PowerQuerywould be very helpful.
Thanks!
