We have a file with 3000 employees called Database.xlsb thatstores employee ID in Column A.
We also have Local files (i.e. local1.xlsb, local2.xlsbetc.). Each local file can hold up to 200 employees. We would like to transferdata from local files to Database.xlsb.

i.e. in Local file we may have employee AZ19029 in Column A,and his salary in Column B, his Location in Column C etc.

We would like VBA to paste this employee’s salary from localfile to Database file. This would repeat for up to 200 employees.

What is the best methodology to follow? Many thanks.
 

Excel Facts

Copy formula down without changing references
If you have =SUM(F2:F49) in F50; type Alt+' in F51 to copy =SUM(F2:F49) to F51, leaving the formula in edit mode. Change SUM to COUNT.
