Retrieve Cell Value from multiple workbooks using a reference cell locations

[sanilmathews]

Hi All,

I have the below code which will allow the user to retrieve the data from an external workbook by just providing the path in Sheet1.Range ("B2") in the active workbook.

Would like to have the below code re-written by applying a loop, where column B in the active workbook will have path-reference of multiple files. The code should take in each path in column B starting from B2 to fetch the data in A1 cell of Sheet1 of every workbook until the last path referred in Column B of active workbook.

Thanks in advance!

Dim XL As Excel.Application
 
Dim WBK As Excel.Workbook
 
Dim Location As String
 
Location = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("B2").Value
 
Set XL = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
 
Set WBK = XL.Workbooks.Open(Location)
 
ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A2") = WBK.Sheets("MasterInput").Range("A1").Value
 
WBK.Close
 
Set XL = Nothing

The following thread shows how you can loop through all files in a folder: https://www.mrexcel.com/forum/excel...p-through-folder-run-macro-all-workbooks.html
That should give you a good start.

Try it out and see how far you get, and post back here if you run into issues.
