Can someone help me with the VBA for this, as I don't really use it at all but think it'll be the best route. Situation:

- I have approx 60 .csv files within a folder containing multiple rows of data. All headings are the same in each file.
- I want to merge all of these into one document via a macro that has a master sheet, then loops through the folder and adds in the data from each individual file before closing it.

I figured as part of this, and so that I could adapt this for future issues as I expect I'll come across it again, I could do so by putting the filepath for the Master Sheet in Cell A3, The filename for the master sheet in A4, and the folder to loop through in A5. That way, I could then use this macro for other groups if ever needed.

I tried running this with Gemini, but couldn't get it to fix the issue with prompts.

This is for Excel 365, and the file locations will be via Sharepoint initially.

Thanks!

try this... run the macro macro12_run_all_copy_paste_files_ you must manually enter your folder path in cell A3 in the sheet ListFiles, like c:\temp2\6489\. Please note this very important assumption in Macro31.'''really important here. assumes column A is ALWAYS filled with data. If a cell in column A does not have data, this will overwrite the data in B to XFC. '''assume the following. 1)you have all the csv files in this folder C:\temp2\6489 2)The master file is named Master.xlsm inside are two sheets ListFiles, and MasterSheet 3) ListFiles is where all the csv files are listed. 4) MasterSheet is where all the data will be copied to. 5) When copying, will not copy row1, as row1 is assumed to be the header. Cheers!

Just putting this out there. While a Macro could do this, Power Query is going to be a lot easier to do and a lot more efficient.+

Data->Get Data ->From File-> From Folder -> Navigate to Folder -> Combine Drop Down - >Combine & Transform Data -> OK -> Transform Sample File (Left side bar) -> Do Transformations -> Close and Load
