Hello,

This VBA code I use works great, but I would like it to switch from row to column.

I want to start in column C with row 1

Would anyone know how to do this?

Thanks,

'   This macro will get the first alphabetical sheet name from a closed xlsx workbook and then get data from that sheet name.
'   It works with numbers, spaces and ' Workbook remains closed the entire time.

    Dim SourceDirectory As String, SourcefileName As String, DestinationSheetName As String, SourceSheetName As String
    Dim DestinationRow  As Long, MyCell As Range
    Dim conexion        As Object
    Dim objCat          As Object
'
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False

    Set conexion = CreateObject("adodb.connection")
    Set objCat = CreateObject("ADOX.Catalog")

    DestinationRow = 1                                                                  ' <--- Set this to the top row for the results

    SourceDirectory = ActiveWorkbook.Path & "\Booking Orders\"

    DestinationSheetName = "Data"                                                     ' <--- Set this to the Destination Sheet Name
    SourcefileName = Dir(SourceDirectory & "*.xlsx")                                    ' Save source file name

        Set objCat.ActiveConnection = conexion
        SourceSheetName = Replace(objCat.Tables(0).Name, "$", "")
        SourceSheetName = Replace(SourceSheetName, "'", "")

        conexion.Close

        Set MyCell = ThisWorkbook.Sheets(DestinationSheetName).Cells(DestinationRow, "B")

        MyCell.Offset(, 5).Formula = "='" & SourceDirectory & "[" & SourcefileName & "]" & SourceSheetName & "'!B10"

Where you read your data : so it seems directly in the formula so just adding TRANSPOSE( ) within if really necessary …​

I'm not sure what I am doing wrong, I tried this, but it didn't work.

Rich (BB code):
MyCell.Offset(, 2).Formula.Transpose() = "='" & SourceDirectory & "[" & SourcefileName & "]" & SourceSheetName & "'!G27"

Do I need to add anything, or put it somewhere else?

No, inside the formula string … But in fact as you are reading only a single cell so TRANSPOSE is very not necessary here, my bad …​
I was thinking about it when using contiguous cells in a range.​
