VBA Script: Clear Source Sheets Formatting before Merging Data

Hi,
I have a code that successfully merges data from a specific named sheets of multiple workbooks into specific master workbook sheet.


However, the code merges empty rows too that have some sort of formatting in them. In my case, the source sheets have borderlines without any values in the rows. I tried using
Code:
SourceRange.Range(FirstCell & ":" & RDB_Last(3, .Cells)).ClearFormats
but it fails to resolve the problem. Also, I noticed that the code fetches 527 rows of data from every sheet file with the exception of the 1st file in the folder. As I had manually cleared formatting from it for testing purposes.


If I manually clear the formatting from the source files, save the file and then run the code it works right. But that's not possible in real time scenario.


A novice to VBA. Please help. Thanks in Advance.


Note: Please change MyPath in the code. Attachment option is not working for me to provide the files. So I have shared the Zip Folder on my G Drive.


Folder URL: https://drive.google.com/file/d/11XE...ew?usp=sharing


The Code:

Code:
Sub MergeAllWorkbooks2()
Dim FirstCell As String
Dim MyPath As String, FilesInPath As String
Dim myFiles() As String
Dim SourceRcount As Long, FNum As Long
Dim mybook As Workbook, BaseWks As Worksheet
Dim sourceRange As Range, destrange As Range
Dim rnum As Long, CalcMode As Long


' Change this to the path\folder location of your files.
MyPath = "C:\Users\zatin.dharmapuri\Desktop\3. 2018\Raw Data Month wise\Jan-2018"


' Add a slash at the end of the path if needed.
If Right(MyPath, 1) <> "\" Then
    MyPath = MyPath & "\"
End If


' If there are no Excel files in the folder, exit.
FilesInPath = Dir(MyPath & "*.xl*")
If FilesInPath = "" Then
    MsgBox "No files found"
    Exit Sub
End If


' Fill the myFiles array with the list of Excel files
' in the search folder.
FNum = 0
Do While FilesInPath <> ""
    FNum = FNum + 1
    ReDim Preserve myFiles(1 To FNum)
    myFiles(FNum) = FilesInPath
    FilesInPath = Dir()
Loop


' Set various application properties.
With Application
    CalcMode = .Calculation
    .Calculation = xlCalculationManual
    .ScreenUpdating = False
    .EnableEvents = False
End With


' The sheet name for the data to be copied to.
Set BaseWks = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet3")
rnum = 2


' Loop through all files in the myFiles array.
If FNum > 0 Then
    For FNum = LBound(myFiles) To UBound(myFiles)
        Set mybook = Nothing
        On Error Resume Next
        Set mybook = Workbooks.Open(MyPath & myFiles(FNum))
        On Error GoTo 0


        If Not mybook Is Nothing Then
            On Error Resume Next


            'Change this range to fit your own needs.
            'With mybook.Worksheets("Defect Analysis Reports")
               'Set sourceRange = .Range("A5:J104")
            'End With


        With mybook.Worksheets("Defect Analysis Reports")
            FirstCell = "A5"
            Set sourceRange = .Range(FirstCell & ":" & RDB_Last(3, .Cells))
            .Range(FirstCell & ":" & RDB_Last(3, .Cells)).ClearFormats
            'Test if the row of the last cell >= then the row of the FirstCell
            If RDB_Last(1, .Cells) < .Range(FirstCell).Row Then
                Set sourceRange = Nothing


            End If
        End With


            If Err.Number > 0 Then
                Err.Clear
                Set sourceRange = Nothing
            Else
                ' If source range uses all columns then
                ' skip this file.
                If sourceRange.Columns.Count >= BaseWks.Columns.Count Then
                    Set sourceRange = Nothing

            If Not sourceRange Is Nothing Then


                SourceRcount = sourceRange.Rows.Count


                If rnum + SourceRcount >= BaseWks.Rows.Count Then
                    MsgBox "There are not enough rows in the target worksheet."
                    BaseWks.Columns.AutoFit
                    mybook.Close savechanges:=False

Using Function Arguments with nested formulas
If writing INDEX in Func. Arguments, type MATCH(. Use the mouse to click inside MATCH in the formula bar. Dialog switches to MATCH.
Please Note: RDM_Last function is used to determine the last row/cell with value. This code can be found from the bottom most section of the following URL: https://www.rondebruin.nl/win/s3/win008.htm

Code:
Function RDB_Last(choice As Integer, rng As Range)

' 1 = last row
' 2 = last column
' 3 = last cell
