I have a Master File and Source File.
Master File: Multiple worksheets, Column A to Q
Source File: Multiple Worksheets, Column A to Q

I am a VBA newbie. But after referring forums and etc, I managed to
1) prompt window to select Source File
2) with the help of users in MrExcel, I managed to have the looping of worksheets done.

Now,
I need to copy from Column Q of Source File from each worksheet that has the same name with worksheet in Master File by matching value in Column A

And Paste it to next available columns in Master File, starting from Column R. If R is not empty, then paste to S and it goes on.

Code:
Sub CommandButton2_Click()


 Dim fileDialog As fileDialog
   Dim strPathFile As String
   Dim dialogTitle As String
   Dim wbSource As Workbook, Mwb As Workbook
   Dim Ws As Worksheet, Mws As Worksheet
   Dim Cl As Range
   Dim FR As Long
   Dim emptyColumn As Long


   Set Mwb = ThisWorkbook
   dialogTitle = "Navigate to and select required file."
   Set fileDialog = Application.fileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)
   With fileDialog
      .InitialFileName = "C:\Users\User\Documents"
      .AllowMultiSelect = False
      .Filters.Clear
      .Title = dialogTitle
      If .Show = False Then
         MsgBox "File not selected to import. Process Terminated"
         Exit Sub
      End If
      strPathFile = .SelectedItems(1)
   End With
   Application.ScreenUpdating = False
   Set wbSource = Workbooks.Open(Filename:=strPathFile)
   
   For Each Ws In wbSource.Worksheets
      If ShtExists(Ws.Name, Mwb) Then
         Set Mws = Mwb.Sheets(Ws.Name)
         
        emptyColumn = Mws.Cells(3, Mws.Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column
        If emptyColumn > 1 Then
        emptyColumn = emptyColumn + 1
        End If
        
         For Each Cl In Ws.Range("A2", Ws.Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
            FR = 0
            On Error Resume Next
            FR = Application.Match(Cl.Value, Ws.Columns(1), 0)
            On Error GoTo 0
            If FR <> 0 Then Mws.Range("Q" & FR).Value = Cl.Offset(, emptyColumn)
  
         Next Cl
      End If
      Set Mws = Nothing
   Next Ws


   wbSource.Close SaveChanges:=False
End Sub
Public Function ShtExist(ShtName As String, Optional Wbk As Workbook) As Boolean
    If Wbk Is Nothing Then Set Wbk = ActiveWorkbook
    On Error Resume Next
    ShtExist = (LCase(Wbk.Sheets(ShtName).Name) = LCase(ShtName))
    On Error GoTo 0
End Function
 
Try
Code:
   For Each Ws In wbSource.Worksheets
      If ShtExists(Ws.name, Mwb) Then
         Set Mws = Mwb.Sheets(Ws.name)
         If Mws.ProtectContents Then Mws.Unprotect Password:="[COLOR=#ff0000]password[/COLOR]", UserInterfaceOnly:=True
                  
         emptyColumn = Mws.Cells(3, Mws.Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column
         If emptyColumn > 1 Then
         emptyColumn = emptyColumn + 1
         End If
        
         For Each Cl In Ws.Range("A2", Ws.Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
            FR = 0
            On Error Resume Next
            FR = Application.Match(Cl.Value, Mws.Columns(1), 0)
            On Error GoTo 0
            If FR <> 0 Then [COLOR=#0000ff]Cl.Offset(, 16).Copy Mws.Cells(FR, emptyColumn)[/COLOR]
         Next Cl
      End If
      Set Mws = Nothing
   Next Ws
Change the part in red to the actual password.
The part in blue will copy the contents & format

Excel Facts

How to fill five years of quarters?
Type 1Q-2023 in a cell. Grab the fill handle and drag down or right. After 4Q-2023, Excel will jump to 1Q-2024. Dash can be any character.
Try
Code:
   For Each Ws In wbSource.Worksheets
      If ShtExists(Ws.name, Mwb) Then
         Set Mws = Mwb.Sheets(Ws.name)
         If Mws.ProtectContents Then Mws.Unprotect Password:="[COLOR=#ff0000]password[/COLOR]", UserInterfaceOnly:=True
                  
         emptyColumn = Mws.Cells(3, Mws.Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column
         If emptyColumn > 1 Then
         emptyColumn = emptyColumn + 1
         End If
        
         For Each Cl In Ws.Range("A2", Ws.Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
            FR = 0
            On Error Resume Next
            FR = Application.Match(Cl.Value, Mws.Columns(1), 0)
            On Error GoTo 0
            If FR <> 0 Then [COLOR=#0000ff]Cl.Offset(, 16).Copy Mws.Cells(FR, emptyColumn)[/COLOR]
         Next Cl
      End If
      Set Mws = Nothing
   Next Ws

Blue part ie copy contents & format: working absolutely good!! Thanks
But as for the red part, prompted error "Named argument not found" and highlighted at "UserInterfaceOnly:="

Oops it should be
Code:
If mws.ProtectContents Then mws.[COLOR=#0000ff]Protect [/COLOR]Password:="Password", UserInterfaceOnly:=True

It should be Unprotect. It works if I remove "UserInterfaceOnly:=True"


But anyway looking into my workbook structure, I think it doesn't help by unprotecting the worksheets.
As those protected worksheets consist of merged cells.

After thinking about it, is that possible to code something like
if worksheet name is "Version Control", "Overall Input" and some other specific names, then do not execute the copy-paste in these worksheets.
Only execute copy-paste in other worksheets.

I'm so sorry to trouble you on this.
Been trying to amend here and there by referring to forum, but it just failed to work as I wanted to.

        emptyColumn = Mws.Cells(4, Mws.Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column
        If emptyColumn > 1 Then
        NewemptyColumn = emptyColumn + 1
      End If
         For Each Cl In Ws.Range("A2", Ws.Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
            FR = 0
            On Error Resume Next
            FR = Application.Match(Cl.Value, Mws.Columns(1), 0)
            On Error GoTo 0
            If FR <> 0 Then Cl.Offset(, 15).Copy Mws.Cells(FR, NewemptyColumn)
            
            Next Cl

With the sheets you want to exclude, will there be other similar sheets that should be included.
For instance, you want to exclude "Version Control", could you also have a sheet that includes "Version Control" like "Version Control 1"?

As for the sheets I want to exclude, all of the sheets have specific names.
Below is the list of all sheets I want to exclude.
Version Control
Legend & Instructions
Overall Input
Overall Score
Functional Summary
Technical Summary
Imp Services Summary
Ppt

Sorry for the late. Was busy with other stuff.

Prompted type mismatch error at this line "ary = ary("Version Control", "Legend & Instructions", "Overall Input", "Overall Score", "Functional Summary", "Technical Summary", "Imp Services Summary", "ppt")"
