Info fed from various workbooks to one overview

[28creation]

Hi all,

I've got one overview workbook & several individual workbooks.

I want certain information to feed through to the overview book. I know how to do this but there's a few other bits I want to do....


I want four cells worth of information fed through from workbook #1 & the overview to have the name of workbook #1 (minus the file type) in another cell next to these four cells.

Then as info is fed into the individual workbooks the overview receives the info & adds it below the ones already received, with the name of the relevant file next to it.

Is there any way of doing this either through normal Excel means or with VBA?


Hope you can help.

Thanks, Matt

Give this one a shot:

Sub Run_Update()
    Dim mainReport As Workbook
    Dim arrEmp() As Variant
    Dim oFile As String
    Dim finalRow As Long
    Dim i As Long
    Dim n As Long
    
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False 'Turn off screen updating to speed up macro

    'Change this line to the directory that contains the workbooks
    oFile = Dir("P:\Coaching\Schemes - Denah\*.xlsx")

    'Load workbook object of Overview workbook into variable
    Set mainReport = Application.Workbooks("Team Overview.xlsm")

    'Find the last used row in column B and load to variable
    finalRow = Cells(Rows.Count, 2).End(xlUp).Row
    
    'Delete the old data in the Overview workbook
    If finalRow > 7 Then Range("B8:H" & finalRow).Value = ""

    ReDim arrEmp(4, 0)

    'Start Looping through all files in the directory
    Do While oFile <> ""
        
        'If the file isn't named Overview.xlsx, then open and copy the necessary data to the array
        If oFile <> mainReport.Name And Right(oFile, 4) = "xlsx" Then
            Workbooks.Open Filename:=oFile 'Open file
            Sheets("Feedback Log").Activate 'Activate the Feedback Log sheet
            finalRow = Cells(Rows.Count, 2).End(xlUp).Row 'Find last row in column B
            If finalRow > 7 Then
                If UBound(arrEmp, 2) > 0 Then
                    ReDim Preserve arrEmp(4, UBound(arrEmp, 2) + finalRow - 7) 'Expand 2nd dimension of the array to hold the new data
                End If
                For i = 8 To finalRow 'Loop through the rows
                    arrEmp(0, n) = ActiveWorkbook.Name  'Load workbook name
                    arrEmp(1, n) = Range("B" & i).Value 'Load column B data in the row to array
                    arrEmp(2, n) = Range("D" & i).Value 'Load column D data in the row to array
                    arrEmp(3, n) = Range("F" & i).Value 'Load column F data in the row to array
                    arrEmp(4, n) = Range("H" & i).Value 'Load column H data in the row to array
                    n = n + 1 'Increase the 2nd dimension counter for next row
                Next i 'Loop to next row/exit if no more rows
            End If
            ActiveWorkbook.Close SaveChanges:=False 'Close the employee workbook
        End If
        oFile = Dir
    Loop
    
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True 'Turn screen updating back on to see values being added to overview workbook
    
    n = 8 'Turn counter into row marker
    For i = LBound(arrEmp, 2) To UBound(arrEmp, 2) 'Loop through the array and unload the data to the Overview workbook row by row
        Cells(n, 2).Value = arrEmp(0, i)
        Cells(n, 4).Value = arrEmp(1, i)
        Cells(n, 6).Value = arrEmp(2, i)
        Cells(n, 8).Value = arrEmp(3, i)
        Cells(n, 10).Value = arrEmp(4, i)
        n = n + 1
    Next i
End Sub

Will do tomorrow. Many thanks for all your effort.

Sub script out of range

 

[AFPathfinder]

Which line?

 

[28creation]

Doesn't say. Just that error. Then OK & Help underneath.

 

[AFPathfinder]

I'm not getting that error on my end. Try going through the code in break mode and see when the error occurs (F8).

 

[28creation]

'Find the last used row in column B and load to variable
finalRow = Cells(Rows.Count, 2).End(xlUp).Row

Run-time error '9':

Subscript out of range

 

[AFPathfinder]

I don't think this would be the cause, but change the Dim statement for finalRow to "Integer" type and see if that helps. A "Long" should be way more than enough to handle the row count of an Excel sheet, and I can't recall having that issue before.

Once changed.........

Compile error:

Syntax error

 

[AFPathfinder]

I'll admit, it's getting a little discouraging that there are so many issues. Testing is much easier when it's right in front of me.

What is highlighted when the compile error pops up? What did you change the Dim statement to say?
