Hello all! I am glad to be part of this community, I've been a long time lurker here but this will be my first post here.

I need a way to find columns dynamically meaning that I need to copy columns from a workbook to another based on some column names from a row. The application we are working on is still in development so changes may come and go anytime. I need a way to not be forced to select specific columns, but columns that has the value X in a specific row.

This macro is basically opening multiple excel files and copies the data from them on a master cell, below each other. It looks like that so far:

VBA Code:
Sub Macro()

Dim CurrentBook As Workbook
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = Workbooks("Master").Sheets(1)
Dim Row As Long, LastRow As Long, FirstRow As Long
Dim IndvFiles As FileDialog
Dim FileIdx As Long
Dim i As Integer, x As Integer
Dim rng As Range
Dim rngselected As Range
Dim LastCol As Long

Set IndvFiles = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogOpen)
With IndvFiles
    .AllowMultiSelect = True
    .title = "Multi-select target Identificator files:"
    .ButtonName = ""
    .Filters.Clear
    .Filters.Add ".xls* files", "*.xls*"
    .Show
End With

Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Application.ScreenUpdating = False

ActiveSheet.name = "Devize Aplicatie"

Range("A1").Value = "Column 1"
Range("B1").Value = "Identificator"
Range("C1").Value = "Service"
Range("D1").Value = "ID"
Range("E1").Value = "ID Location"
Range("F1").Value = "ID Value"
Range("G1").Value = "Sub ID"
Range("H1").Value = "Price"
Range("A1:H1").Select
    Selection.Font.Bold = True
    With Selection.Interior
        .Pattern = xlPatternLinearGradient
        .Gradient.Degree = 90
        .Gradient.ColorStops.Clear
    End With
    With Selection.Interior.Gradient.ColorStops.Add(0)
        .Color = 15959521
        .TintAndShade = 0
    End With
    With Selection.Interior.Gradient.ColorStops.Add(0.5)
        .Color = 10498160
        .TintAndShade = 0
    End With
    With Selection.Interior.Gradient.ColorStops.Add(1)
        .Color = 15959521
        .TintAndShade = 0
    End With
    With Selection.Interior
        .Pattern = xlPatternLinearGradient
        .Gradient.Degree = 90
        .Gradient.ColorStops.Clear
    End With
    With Selection.Interior.Gradient.ColorStops.Add(0)
        .ThemeColor = xlThemeColorAccent6
        .TintAndShade = 0.400006103701895
    End With
    With Selection.Interior.Gradient.ColorStops.Add(0.5)
        .ThemeColor = xlThemeColorDark1
        .TintAndShade = 0
    End With
    With Selection.Interior.Gradient.ColorStops.Add(1)
        .ThemeColor = xlThemeColorAccent6
        .TintAndShade = 0.400006103701895
    End With
    Rows("1:1").RowHeight = 31.8
    With Selection
        .HorizontalAlignment = xlGeneral
        .VerticalAlignment = xlCenter
        .WrapText = False
        .Orientation = 0
        .AddIndent = False
        .IndentLevel = 0
        .ShrinkToFit = False
        .ReadingOrder = xlContext
        .MergeCells = False
    End With
