Hello,
I have a project that requires I pull data from multiple excel workbooks into one sheet, while comparing the varying data (The workbooks have different data). I have a code that can pull from the specific file location which is specified, and it does these based on the type of file format (.csv, .xlsx etc). I will post it below.
I want to modify this code so it is able to pull from different workbooks with different data and transpose side by side and not combine it. Also the workbooks may be in a different format (xlsx vs CSV) so that might have to be taken into consideration. Ideally some files will be similar, and others will differ during the pulling process. This just seems like an impossible task for me. I'm new to VBA also. Help!
