We might need to combine multiple workbooks into one workbook in order to analyse or present the information better. Though this can be done manually, by moving or copying all the worksheets from different workbooks into one workbook, but it would be time consuming and prone to errors. Moreover if there are a large number of workbooks/worksheets, then the problem is even bigger.
However, we have a solution to this and it would not take more than a few seconds to get all workbooks merged into one. Here is the VBA code that can help us achieve this. Even those who are not well versed with VBA can easily get this done by simply following the video on how to use this code.
Merge Two or More Excel Workbooks into One
If you want to combine ONLY FIRST WORKSHEET of multiple Excel workbooks see this video • COMBINE Multiple Excel...
Hi,
Wow. That just worked. Thanks for sharing this info. I am able to combine 50 files from different workbooks to 1 Master file and with each file in different worksheet !!!
Thanks,
Senthil
Did you open those 50 files to run the code?
Bhai VBA code kaise lenaa ??
awsome
Can you tell me how can I directly combine it in one sheet
Extremely thankful to you. It worked like a miracle.
I was badly searching for this. I was having more than 200 different excel files which I wanted to get in a single excel workbook. Your VBA Code made it much easier. Thanks a lot again.
where is the vba code to copy
Can you send the vb script once

Sir, I am extremely grateful to you for this video. I had to work on 400-plus workbooks which were kinda impossible, but now I did it in a matter of seconds. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Where did you get the VBA Code? The link isn't working on my end.
Glad it helped!
Please revisit the page and try downloading again. The issue has been fixed.
Thanks a MILLION for this! Made combining six different C-Suite excel files of goals and priorities into one SO much easier, and saved me so much time!!!
I did my work in to different workbook and was pissed off
Can you please share the code? I can not download it, it just wont work .
In Description i didn't found any code. Can you provide me the code please.
This works perfectly. Thank you for spreading the knowledge around ! 👍
Worked perfectly, Thank you!!

Hi
What if I updated something on my individual worksheets would be reflected to the MASTER worksheet also and vice versa ? or
No. You have to re-run the code for updations.
@@Exceljunction does that mean i have to rerun the module ? but if i do that, will it update the data in the master workbook or it will recreate new worksheets to the one it already have ?
Okay i tried it myself, it doesn't update, it creates new sheets
didn't know this process contains such complected steps. thank you!
Lifesaver!!! Thank you so much for this!!
Thank you, brilliant, this worked well, so easy and clean and has been a big help. I also modified the code slightly to pick up .csv files instead of excel files. Now to find out how to merge all the tabs into one. It would be even simpler if the code was just pasted in the comments. Thanks again for posting such clear video.
There were no errors I found into the code, it worked perfectly the first time.
Please post the code for CSV
Can you please share the code which we need to put in code window
That's great, much thanks for your help by sharing this to the world!
Very helpful code! I am having one problem I can't figure out: The Filename variable is always set to "" so the code stops running before opening any files. I have copied the code exactly (Filename = Dir(Path & "*.csv")). Is it because these are text files? Any ideas are much appreciated!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge on this 👍
This is great! Thank you. Do you also have a code that takes three identical files and merges them into a new workbook under one tab. Let's say I have exactly the same sales report template that I send out to different sales districts, and then I need to combine those three sales reports into one worksheet? The headers are the same on all the files.

It worked for me, I merged 184 files. In my case I had to modify the 4th line slightly, since I was merging .csv files. So I changed the .xls part to .csv and ran the script. Thanks a lot.

Thank you so much... without this comment I would have been still stuck! 🙌🏿
Special thanks to you..
Maaaaannnn thank you for noting the change from .xls to .csv....was not working for me until i did that!! Thank you alot
Where is the code?
I have to type Manually?
It worked very well for me. Pay attention to the type of file you are trying to combine. The formulas provided are for 'xls' and 'xlsx'. use the proper formatting for the proper files and it should work well for you.
Thanks for the short cut!!!!
Cheers!
In Description i didn't found any code. Can you provide me the code please.
This was so useful!! Thank you for this tutorial.
It works fantastic. Could you tell me what should I change in the code to copy only 1 specific worksheet istead all of them? Where should I implement the refernce workbook name? for example I would like to copy only WS-3a table.
Thank you for spreading the knowledge around!
Can you please provide us an explanation about the VBA code? For better understanding the code and not to just copy and paste it.
Thank you once again.

Hi
I am notable to run this marco due to error as "Run-time error 424" Don't know why, Can some help on this issue how to fix?
I would like to something similar to this. I would like to have tables in different workbooks join one main table in my main file. The number of files with tables will increase overtime, and I would like this to be automated. Is this possible?
Amazing... thank you!! Greatly appreciated!!!!!
Thanks for appreciating.
This was a time and life saver! Thank you!
can i have the VBA code?
Apologies for the inconvenience. The link is working fine now. www.exceljunction.com/combine-multiple-excel-workbooks-into-one-workbook/
When you combined the workbooks, did create tabs of each file you combined? I want to combine only specific rows from specific separate workbooks, example: combine the text found on row B2 and placed on the master, and do the same with next workbook. Example project. I have a survey with 100 responders, each responder is one file where the responder select answer located on B2. I want this way so can calculate all the answers from each responder in same workbook. I could do this in google forms that would do the job. But I dont want to use google forms because sometimes I don't have access to the drive google.

I had a code done that was not working for me and was because of the "\" at the end of the path, excellent video it went to the point and works, thank you!
Sheets names in the new combined sheet are different from the source although i put the correct path!! also the program gives me two empty sheets between each two work sheets!! Can you pls tell me how to fix that?
Thanks it works, but when it combined the different workbooks it didnt save the name of each workbook in the tabs at the bottom for each workbook. Is there a fix for that? Its hundreds of workbooks without specific names so not easy to just go in and rename
You saved my life dude!! thanks a lot!
Glad that we could be of help
I Love yA!!! Thank you.... Worked great!
Thanks Excel Function. I tried and received Compile Error: For Each Control Variable must be variant or object and it highlights "For Each". Do you know how to solve this? Thanks
bit late but would be interested to see if you solved this, I found I had to open all the workbooks I wanted to combine which was a feat in its self :)
I so want this to work for me!! Sadly though, even when I follow each step exactly, I can't seem to get the code to run. I don't get any error code, it's just that nothing happens. I have all my files open (i've also tried with all the files closed), I open a new sheet and vba module, I copy the code, I copy my path exactly, I run the script and... nothing. Any advice? Is there anything different I should be doing to run this on a mac?
Figured it out! For mac users who are also still confused: see this quote from microsoft's page on the dir function:
" In Microsoft Windows, Dir supports the use of multiple character ( \* ) and single character ( ? ) wildcards to specify multiple files. On the Macintosh, these characters are treated as valid file name characters and can't be used as wildcards to specify multiple files. Since the Macintosh doesn't support the wildcards, use the file type to identify groups of files."
So instead of Filename = Dir (Path & "*.xls") I just used Filename = Dir (Path)
Also, macs use forward slashes in their path!
I'm sure this will be very helpful for Mac users. Thanks a lot.
Thanks for this, very useful. Only issue I have is that of the multiple files that are meant to have the same structure, some are broken on certain days (e.g. wrong/missing tab name, or any other misc issue) and I can't tell which one since it is over 50 files daily - how can I put an error handling to either 1) write a list of erroneous files, or 2) just loop over those with errors?
Structure of the files doesn't matter here. All worksheets will be clubbed irrespective of the content.
@@Exceljunction Pls help with VBA Code your site not working
Thanks for this video..Cannyou have a video of shared excel editing with multiple users but other user has no access for the other sheet or even cannot seen nor edit the other sheet which is not thier sheet..thanks

Hi! I would lke to know if you could help me with this.
I have a folder where I save a workbook for every month that goes by. I would like to create one main file where new Excel files are added automatically. By that I mean to make one big table in that main Spreadsheet, combining every other spreadsheet (please take into account that the number of spreadsheets to be added is infinite, and I would like this to be automated).
Thank you for this. You made my day much better and saved me a lot of time!
It worked, Great! Thank you!
Thank you very much for this wonderful code and for this simplified and clear method.
Thanks! code worked perfectly after removing one compile error, Space in the line "Workbooks (Filename) .Close"
Nice!! Thanks a lot!
How do you append the content of several worksheets from different workbooks? The workbooks share the same grandfather folder but are located in different subfolders within that grandfather folder.
You have to copy them manually to a single folder location before you execute the code. Or may be you can use a macro to get this done each time you want to merge files.
Thanks mate!
Hi, what if for example I have 3 tabs for each excel files and I only want one tab to be copied to the master file? How to do it? By the way I am using excel 2016 version. Thanks in advance!

Hello! The code worked perfectly. I have a question: In all the documents I'm putting together I have one sheet called "Original", so when I combine all the files, I get Original, Original (1), Original (2), etc... Is there a way to exclude that particular sheet?

I will be very grateful for the help.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, the macro joins all the worksheets effectively, but duplicates them in the end. Is this proper?
No. There must be an issue. Please try again on a different set of files.
@@Exceljunction Hello, This code worked for me the first time I ran it. However, the same issue happened with duplicates after I ran again the second time. Edgar, did you figure this out?
Amazing work, thanks
Will it combine my Files if the sheets within each file has the same name? Example File 1 has sheet 1, File 2 also has sheet 1
Thanks a lot it worked, but i found every file is added twice. if i have 3 files in the folder i got a workbook with 6 sheets. what is the mistake? i am using excel 365
Does any changes made to any of file will be reflected on master sheet
+Jaswinder Gill No, changes done after merging the workbooks won't reflect automatically. The code has to be re-run if any changes are made to the base files.
It really helps. very well explained

Hello HI, do we have options to restrict which sheets are only to be merged? for example, if i have 10 worksheets in one file, whereas i need only one worksheet from each file to be brought and merged in one workbook.
Please refer to the link for merging one sheet from each workbook czcams.com/video/ywC8AGl-AwU/video.html
Thank you so much. One question, if we do any changes in one workbook, would it automatically be done in master file. like if it is saved in shared folder, and one person has made any changes in one worksheet, and the manager is only seeing the master one, so would it automatically be done in master one or not? thank you again.
No you will have to rerun the code

Hello. Using VBA, i want to make a small scale accouting tool where i enter all payments and receipts on my master control sheet and in column C i also mention the account head from drop down list. What i want now is to add each entry on respective sheet on next empty row (As per account head name). I will add sheet manually for each of account head that i use.
If account head chosed is "A" then this entry should go to sheet titled "A"
If account head chosed is "B" then this entry should go to sheet titled "B"
So it means the sheet name will ALWAYS be same as account head title/name.
Any tips, hints or tricks? Please share.

Hi, Thank you very much for reading this comment. This tutorial is very very easy to understand and extremely helpful. I have a query and here is my situation. I have an excel file of size more than thirty MB and it can be accessed using the network and it keeps growing in size, every day. More than five users are actively using the file, on most of the day. Some of my users complain that when the file is opening and saving it is slow due to the network being slow. Hence, I need a solution for this. I have two solutions in my mind.
Firstly, create a local file to each remote user and let them add their data and sync with the main file in the network when they close or click a button to update the main file.
Secondly, add data to excel file in the network without fully opening the file.
Do you have any suggestions? Thank you in advance and have a wonderful day.
