Hi all, Ive got the coding more or less down. However, im trying to figure out if excel could import the 1st 5 excel file's data to one Sheet 1 then the next 5 to Sheet 2, etc...

Currently, its importing everything into one sheet.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Code:
Sub ImportFiles()


    Dim Fldr As String, FN As String
    Dim wsDst As Worksheet, rngDst As Range
    
    With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)
        .AllowMultiSelect = False
        .Show
        If .SelectedItems.Count = 0 Then
            Exit Sub
        End If
        Fldr = .SelectedItems(1)
    End With
    
    Set wsDst = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1")
    FN = Dir(Fldr & "\*.xls", vbNormal)
    
    Do While FN <> ""
        Workbooks.OpenText Filename:=Fldr & "\" & FN, Space:=False
        Set rngDst = wsDst.Cells(2, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Offset(0, 2)
        ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Resize(, 2).Copy rngDst
        wsDst.Cells(2, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Offset(0, -2).Insert xlShiftDown
        wsDst.Cells(2, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Offset(-1, -1) = FN
        
        FN = Dir()
        ActiveWorkbook.Close False
    
    Loop
End Sub

Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.
I haven't looked carefully at all your code so this may need a tweak. I assumed the sheet names are Sheet1, Sheet2, ..., and that the sheets needed are already in place and ready to accept the output of the macro.
Rich (BB code):
    Dim Fldr As String, FN As String
    Dim wsDst As Worksheet, rngDst As Range
    Dim ct As Long, N As Long
    
    With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)
        .AllowMultiSelect = False
        .Show
        If .SelectedItems.Count = 0 Then
            Exit Sub
        End If
        Fldr = .SelectedItems(1)
    End With
    
    FN = Dir(Fldr & "\*.xls", vbNormal)
    N = 1
    Do While FN <> ""
        ct = ct + 1
        If ct Mod 6 = 0 Then N = N + 1
        Set wsDst = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet" & N)
        Workbooks.OpenText Filename:=Fldr & "\" & FN, Space:=False
        Set rngDst = wsDst.Cells(2, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Offset(0, 2)
        ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Resize(, 2).Copy rngDst
        wsDst.Cells(2, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Offset(0, -2).Insert xlShiftDown
        wsDst.Cells(2, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Offset(-1, -1) = FN
        
        FN = Dir()
        ActiveWorkbook.Close False
    
    Loop
End Sub

Hi Joe,

Currently, sheet 1 is showing 5 results. The following sheet, sheet 2, sheet 3, etc... its importing 6 results.

Therefore, Im trying to play around with the code below but with no luck. What should I do?
ct = ct + 1
If ct Mod 6 = 0

Here's a revision.
Code:

Dim Fldr As String, FN As String
    Dim wsDst As Worksheet, rngDst As Range
    Dim ct As Long, N As Long
    
    With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)
        .AllowMultiSelect = False
        .Show
        If .SelectedItems.Count = 0 Then
            Exit Sub
        End If
        Fldr = .SelectedItems(1)
    End With
    
    FN = Dir(Fldr & "\*.xls", vbNormal)
    N = 1
    Do While FN <> ""
        ct = ct + 1
        Set wsDst = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet" & N)
        Workbooks.OpenText Filename:=Fldr & "\" & FN, Space:=False
        Set rngDst = wsDst.Cells(2, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Offset(0, 2)
        ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Resize(, 2).Copy rngDst
        wsDst.Cells(2, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Offset(0, -2).Insert xlShiftDown
        wsDst.Cells(2, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Offset(-1, -1) = FN
        If ct Mod 5 = 0 Then N = N + 1
        FN = Dir()
        ActiveWorkbook.Close False
    
    Loop
