Hi - I have code where I select the workbooks i want to import data from. My problem is that i have code for when I have 1 workbook and code for when I have 2 workbooks. How do i make the code variable so that it know how many workbooks i selected and cycles through each one. The data is arranged the same in all of the workbooks.

VBA Code:
Dim N1 As String, N2 As String
Dim x As Long
    With ListBox1
        For x = 0 To .ListCount - 1
            If .Selected(x) = True Then
                If N2 <> "" Then Exit For
                If N1 = "" Then N1 = .List(x) Else N2 = .List(x)
                .Selected(x) = False
            End If
        Next
    End With
    
Dim wb1, wb2 As Workbook
Dim ws1, ws2, ws3, wsSP As Worksheet
Dim LR, lr2, lr3 As Long
Dim Cl As Range
sName = "Yahoo"
 
   Set wb1 = Workbooks(N1)
   Set wb2 = Workbooks(N2)
          
    Set wsSP = Sheet1
    Set ws1 = Sheet3
    
    Set ws2 = wb1.Sheets(sName)
    Set ws3 = wb2.Sheets(sName)
    
With ws1
    If IsEmpty(.Range("A11")) = True Then
        lr2 = 11
    Else
        lr2 = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
    End If

'    If IsEmpty(.Range("A11")) = False Then
'        .Range("A11:Y" & lr2).ClearContents
'    End If
End With
 
With ws2
    LR = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "C").End(xlUp).Row - 2
    .Range("C11:C" & LR).Copy
    ws1.Range("A11").PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
End With
      
With ws3
    lr3 = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "C").End(xlUp).Row - 2
    .Range("C11:C" & lr3).Copy
    ws1.Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
End With

        Next Cl
        If .Count > 0 Then ws1.Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1).Resize(.Count).Value = Application.Transpose(.keys)
    End With

Whats the difference between CONCAT and CONCATENATE?
The newer CONCAT function can reference a range of cells. =CONCATENATE(A1,A2,A3,A4,A5) becomes =CONCAT(A1:A5)
I didn't check your macro to see if it's easy to implement but you could create an array with the names of the workbooks and the with a For/Next cycle the items of the array. Inside the For/Next, with the right reference to the workbook being processed, place your code only once.

That make sense, but I'm not sure exactly how to make that work. Assuming i would need to do something along the lines of For Each wb...would i also need to change the Listbox code to allow for unlimited workbooks to be selected?

Well, yes, the ListBox needs to be dynamic for sure but without analyzing the entire project I can't be more precise.
