How to Combine Multiple Excel Files using VBA

[@Excelmacromastery]

Let me know, in the comments below, which method you found most useful. Make sure to download the source code from the description below the video.

[@karl-heinzlutzel9585]

Paul, as always a great application. You explain this really super. I think it's great that you show the way over the individual functions or subs. Simply how it should be done professionally.

[@Excelmacromastery]

@@karl-heinzlutzel9585 Thanks. Glad you like it.

Any way to write dictionaries with classes in one go?

[@miless2111sutube]

Given you had to select something to make the dictionary work does any user need to do the same to be able to run the code?

[@Excelmacromastery]

@@yashchawla8360 No. The reason you can do with basic data items is because they are stored as an array.

[@mtotowamungu8259]

I like your new Camtasia video style, you can see that you put a lot of effort into it. I also like that your videos are more relaxed again (easier to understand for non-native English speakers). Thanks a lot Paul

[@Excelmacromastery]

Thanks. Glad you like it.

[@budiyanto1531]

Paul always shows me A lot little things with the New and simpliest way which is the Best thing to write codes. Thank you Paul. The next thing I would like you to teach me how to make an application complete with its relational databases connected each other. And offcourse, like always, the simpliest way and the fastest aplications.

Super useful tutorial Helps to improve and streamline automation of work processes.

[@joaocustodio2094]

Paul, congratulations. Another great video.

[@Excelmacromastery]

Thanks Joao

[@inigosanchez-ostizchivite5441]

I know almost every object you use but the very reason I watch your videos is because I learn a lot on how to create clean and comprehensive code. I appreciate the work you do.

[@Excelmacromastery]

Thanks

[@grzegorz2852]

man, u are a hero! Thank you very much for this super useful tutorial. i learn a lot from you

[@Excelmacromastery]

Thanks

[@henrycullen950]

This is exactly what I have been searching for :)

[@Excelmacromastery]

Glad you like it.

[@tomharrington1453]

Dude, there is a LOT in this video. Excellent job.

[@Excelmacromastery]

Thanks Tom

[@dangreen2501]

I went from not knowing anything about VBA coding to being able to understand what you are saying in this video the first time through. The W.W.W is amazing and people like you make it easy to learn new and amazing things. I started out just wanting to create a program that would automate some B.I. Reports I used daily and it has turned into a full blown application that does it all! I advise anyone with the desire to learn VBA to learn from folks like Paul. Thanks dude, you’re awesome!

[@Excelmacromastery]

Thanks Dan. I appreciate the feedback.

[@vincentlee7995]

Thanks Paul. Just know using sub ReadData can pass back data

[@SyedMuzammilMahasanShahi]

Thanks for this video.

[@Excelmacromastery]

You're welcome

[@gewe2508]

Great video, fantastic wotk. It would be better to do something with VBA that cannot be achieved by a very quick get & transform solution though....always good to learn VBA, but with examples that makeore sense....

[@bondniko]

Very useful.

[@teddyted04]

Very neat. At the moment, I would say all methods described are useful. Can you clarify one? From WriteData, shAll it gives an error on compilation: "Variable not defined". Would you kind enough to explain? How about the Reference > Microsoft Scripting Runtime. Where is that coming from? Thank you kindly.

[@syahmiirfann439]

why i add watches at 7:50 it says out of context

[@sedataksakal414]

Süper çok güzel bir uygulama. Teşekkür ederim.

[@VBAbyMBA]

Neither FSO nor Dir ensures that files are retrieved in the correct sequence. What is the proper way to list files in the correct order, such as: 1.jpg 2.jpg ... 9.jpg 10.jpg 11.jpg? what if, I want to stick to the Dir so that it can be used in MacOS as well?

[@rockyrkt6293]

I want create a VBA tool for collecting data from different Excel to one like same, but for flexible for all types of data like may be sometimes raw and column are changed

[@maciejdolinski2603]

Hi Paul. It's great video. As every that you create. Thank you. Anyway, why do you use intermediate table to temporarily keep data from source worksheets instead of copying directly from source sheet to destination sheet using e.g. Advanced Filter? Is it faster or is it to make the code ore readable?

[@HachikoLostdog]

Very useful and precise as always. Paul could you expand this a little bit further say i have a huge range of data set and i want to get the uniquue names and ids per employee and get the total data they have on the table

[@gunasekaran4288]

@@Excelmacromastery ok sir. Thanks do you have any online training available. I would like to learn from you. But cost if affordable for me...plz.let me know your thoughts sir

[@gunasekaran4288]

Any update

[@ziadsemaan5669]

Hello. New to the channel here. Quick question: if the data is jagged what should we use instead of .CurrentRegion

[@Tom-kd3xc]

Hi! Thanks for the video. What about when only the names of the columns are known?

[@Tom-kd3xc]

I mean, what if we don't know the order of the columns, but only know their names?

[@pezad4187]

Use Worksheet.Match function to determine the index

[@maddinenirajeshbabu3143]

Thanks very much paul, Actually i am having one query when we are running the macro we can't work another excel work how to over come this issue even macro is running we have to work parallel another work also is there any way to over come this problem? Thanks in advance Paul.

[@Excelmacromastery]

I'm not really clear on your question. Are you referring to multi threading? If so, it's not possible in VBA.

[@VipulKarkar]

As Paul mentioned multi threading is not possible in excel. The very first thing, you should look into, is optimising the macro so it doesn't run for hours. I follow a convention where If any macro is running more than 3 minutes, I try to re-write, refactor and optimise the code in more efficient way. I hope that helps.

[@hammeedabdo.82]

Hi Paul, Thank you for this video. I want to make a dictionary, so that it contains huge data, so that when I add new sentences to this dictionary, this data must be stored in one of the databases such as Mysql. My question: Is it possible to use Excel as a front-end in order to display this data from the Mysql database, and when we add new sentences it will be stored in the Mysql database?

[@francsreal7437]

I have been following your steps..yet it does not locate the xlsm file i am looking in a folder..

[@thofiktufel]

I think Power Query would be better to use here. Can you please explain why choose VBA over PQ for this task ?

[@Excelmacromastery]

See the Power Query version of this task here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nqSlfKyDaa2Ar6M

[@Thegingeranator]

I'm curious how reliable these vba codes over the course of time, do they break A lot with updates? is it smart to combine excel formulas with VBA?

[@Excelmacromastery]

The code doesn't break with updstes.

[@Rain_theGamer]

Are you dumb? VBA is literally excel

[@nkememes1637]

Hello sir, How can i Split a ( 1 Million of rows) large file into 10 small files using VBA macro without filterring dara please help me to code for this problem

Hi Paul, Thank you for an excellent explanation. Unfortunately, the source code file cannot be downloaded 😞

[@sangramkeshary5850]

Hi I'm getting error in WriteData() on newRow declaration that "Variable not defined" Could anyone please help me on this?

[@JD-kp4dp]

How about the opposite, one master file sending data to hundreds of separate files?

[@vishalmastud9256]

GOOD LUCK

[@anhnhatnguyet4628]

The files in the folder have the same structure, file A has 1 sheet, file B has 2 sheets, file C has 3 sheets. Need to create a file D with only 1 sheet with all data of 6 sheets, use VBA, how to do it?

[@alexeiofp]

I am light years away from understanding this level of code. What book do you recommend to start with?

[@Excelmacromastery]

Hi Alexis, I would recommend starting with this tutorial (excelmacromastery.com/vba-tutorial-1/)

[@hammeedabdo.82]

The other question: How can we divide an excel file into several files? We need another video to reverse this process: How can we divide this excel file in this video again into several files?

[@Rain_theGamer]

Well this would have been a cool tut but you started off with random code that you don't explain the use of and don't explain what to put before you just go into the other stuff. That's bull.
