Good afternoon and Happy Friday!

I found and modified a macro many, many moons ago that takes the data from the first row and certain columns of a group of excel workbooks and creates one excel file with all of the data. It works FABULOUS however I do not really know how it works. I now need to extract the data from ONE cell on a sheet in about 500 workbooks BUT the data, unlike my current data, is not the first sheet in the workbook and I am lost. I am sure the macro has a place to specify which worksheet o look at but I cannot find it. :(

I have pasted the macro below and would appreciate any help!

Code:
