Rename sheet while copy to another file - vba

Im using a macro to copy alot of sheets into one excel file. The macro is from an old project so it needs some tweaking. It looks like this:
Sub CombineSheets()
Dim sPath As String
Dim sFname As String
Dim wBk As Workbook
Dim wSht As Variant
Application.EnableEvents = False
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
sPath = InputBox("Enter a full path to workbooks")
ChDir sPath
sFname = InputBox("Enter a filename pattern")
sFname = Dir(sPath & "\" & sFname & ".xl*", vbNormal)
wSht = InputBox("Enter a worksheet name to copy")
Do Until sFname = ""
Set wBk = Workbooks.Open(sFname)
Windows(sFname).Activate
Sheets(wSht).Copy Before:=ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1)
wBk.Close False
sFname = Dir()
Loop
ActiveWorkbook.Save
Application.EnableEvents = True
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
What I need is a way to rename the sheets that I copy, insted of the sheetname from the original file, I would like it to be renamed into the filename, or add the filename to the sheetname.

Not commenting on your old-macro-code (I personally do not like Windows(sFname).Activate but as far as it works it's ok), this is what to do to change the sheet name:
Sub CombineSheets()
Dim sPath As String
Dim sFname As String
Dim wBk As Workbook
Dim wSht As Variant
Application.EnableEvents = False
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
sPath = InputBox("Enter a full path to workbooks")
ChDir sPath
sFname = InputBox("Enter a filename pattern")
sFname = Dir(sPath & "\" & sFname & ".xl*", vbNormal)
wSht = InputBox("Enter a worksheet name to copy")
Do Until sFname = ""
Set wBk = Workbooks.Open(sFname)
Windows(sFname).Activate
Sheets(wSht).Copy Before:=ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1)
'add this line --v
ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1).Name = "stack" & Replace(Time, ":", "")
'this line is added --^
wBk.Close False
sFname = Dir()
Loop
ActiveWorkbook.Save
Application.EnableEvents = True
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
Note that you would probably have an error, if you are looping too fast once you try to save more than one worksheet, because the name would be the same. Thus, it is a wise idea to introducec a counter for the name.

Copying a range from a hidden sheet

i have a vba code to copy and paste a range of data from multiple excel files in a folder. The sheet that has the data is hidden though. i need to modify my code to copy the hidden sheets range.
Sub Import_to_Master()
Dim sFolder As String
Dim sFile As String
Dim wbD As Workbook, wbS As Workbook
Application.ScreenUpdating = False Set wbS = ThisWorkbook sFolder =
wbS.Path & "\"
sFile = Dir(sFolder) Do While sFile <> ""
If sFile <> wbS.Name Then Set wbD = Workbooks.Open(sFolder & sFile)
'open the file; add condition to
' >>>>>> Adapt this part wbD.Sheets("data").Range("A3:BD3").Copy
wbS.Activate Sheets("data scorecards").Range("A" &
Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
Application.CutCopyMode = False ' >>>>>> wbD.Close savechanges:=True
'close without saving End If
sFile = Dir 'next file Loop Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
This looks appropriate. I've used direct value transfer instead of copy, paste special, values.
Option Explicit
Sub Import_to_Master()
Dim sFolder As String, sFile As String
Dim wbS As Workbook
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Set wbS = ThisWorkbook
sFolder = wbS.Path & "\"
sFile = Dir(sFolder & "*.xl*")
Do While sFile <> ""
If sFile <> wbS.Name Then
'open the file; add condition to
With Workbooks.Open(sFolder & sFile)
' >>>>>> Adapt this part wbD
With .Worksheets("data").Range("A3:BD3")
wbS.Worksheets("data scorecards").Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).Resize(.Rows.Count, .Columns.Count) = .Value
End With
'close without saving
.Close savechanges:=False
End With
End If
sFile = Dir 'next file

excel VBA 1004 error when copying multiple tabs into one tab from a folder

I am getting a 1004 error when I try and combine workbook pages into one master document. The code works correctly on my device, but when I attempt to run the code on my friends device it throw a 1004 error. I believe he is on excel 2013, I am on excel 2016. Is there any way to convert my code into something that can be used on both devices?
Sub CombineSheets()
Dim sPath As String
Dim sFname As String
Dim wBk As Workbook
Dim wSht As Variant
Application.EnableEvents = False
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
sPath = InputBox("Enter a full path to workbooks")
ChDir sPath
sFname = InputBox("Enter a filename pattern")
sFname = Dir(sPath & "\" & sFname & ".xl*", vbNormal)
wSht = InputBox("Enter a worksheet name to copy")
Do Until sFname = ""
Set wBk = Workbooks.Open(sFname)
Windows(sFname).Activate
Sheets(wSht).Copy Before:=ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1)
wBk.Close False
sFname = Dir()
Loop
ActiveWorkbook.Save
Application.EnableEvents = True
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
This works correctly when I run it, prompts for the folder location, asks which files it should copy from (usually *), and then copies from specifically the worksheet name entered.
Realistically all I need is code that can extract one worksheet from several hundred excel files and combine them into one master document. being able to pick and choose which worksheets would just be a bonus.
Thank you!
Like Mat's Mug said, you should really validate you inputs.
Did your co-worker add a "\" at the end of the path? Does the Path even exist?
Test to make sure that the sheet exists in the file that you are copying from, with something like this:
Function SheetExists(Name As String, Optional Workbook As Excel.Workbook = Nothing) As Boolean
If Workbook Is Nothing Then Set Workbook = ThisWorkbook.Application.ActiveWorkbook
On Error Resume Next
If Workbook.Worksheets(Name).Name <> vbNullString Then
End If
If Err.Number = 0 Then SheetExists = True
On Error GoTo 0
End Function
Here is your code with the noted changes:
Sub CombineSheets()
Dim sPath As String
Dim sFname As String
Dim wBk As Workbook
Dim sSht As String
Application.EnableEvents = False
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
sPath = InputBox("Enter a full path to workbooks")
'Use the FolderPicker to verify the path
With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)
If .Show Then sPath = .SelectedItems(1)
End With
'ChDir sPath
sFname = InputBox("Enter a filename pattern")
sFname = Dir(sPath & "\" & sFname & ".xl*", vbNormal)
sSht = InputBox("Enter a worksheet name to copy")
Do Until sFname = ""
Set wBk = Workbooks.Open(sFname)
'Windows(sFname).Activate
If SheetExists(sSht, wBk) Then
wBk.Sheets(sSht).Copy Before:=ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1)
End If
wBk.Close False
sFname = Dir()
Loop
'ActiveWorkbook.Save
ThisWorkbook.Save
Application.EnableEvents = True
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
The bigger question is, are the Sheets the same size? Old .xls files only have 65536 rows, where 2007+ .xlsx files go up to 1048576 rows.
You can't mix the two different worksheets. In that case, you need to copy all of the cells from one sheet to the other.
wBk.Sheets(sSht).Cells.Copy
ThisWorkbook.Sheets.Add Before:=ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1)
ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1).Paste

Copy filename from several workbooks to cells in another workbook

I have a folder with alot of workbooks where i need to copy the file names (and some other data) to a master workbook. I found a code to import the data but is can't seem to import the file name.
After the "' >>>>>> Adapt this part" I tried to write some code to copy and paste the filename but it doesn't seem to work.
I use the part outside the "' >>>>>> Adapt this part" to copy some other data so I only need some code to fit in insted of my not working code :)
Sub Import_to_Master()
Dim sFolder As String
Dim sFile As String
Dim wbD As Workbook, wbS As Workbook
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Set wbS = ThisWorkbook
sFolder = wbS.Path & "\"
sFile = Dir(sFolder)
Do While sFile <> ""
If sFile <> wbS.Name Then
Set wbD = Workbooks.Open(sFolder & sFile)
' >>>>>> Adapt this part
WName = ActiveWorkbook.Name
WName.Copy
Sheets("Combined").Range("N" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
Application.CutCopyMode = False
' >>>>>>
wbD.Close savechanges:=True 'close without saving
End If
sFile = Dir 'next file
Loop
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
Sub Import_to_Master()
Dim sFolder As String
Dim sFile As String
Dim wbD As Workbook, wbS As Workbook
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Set wbS = ThisWorkbook
sFolder = wbS.Path & "\"
sFile = Dir(sFolder)
Do While sFile <> ""
If sFile <> wbS.Name Then
Set wbD = Workbooks.Open(sFolder & sFile)
' >>>>>> Adapt this part
wbS.Sheets("Combined").Range("N" & wbS.Sheets("Combined").Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).Value = sFile
' >>>>>>
wbD.Close savechanges:=True 'close without saving
End If
sFile = Dir 'next file
Loop
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
You can directly use the object wbD and its property .Name.
I have also added a reference to the Sheet("Combined") for a better readability :
Sub Import_to_Master()
Dim sFolder As String
Dim sFile As String
Dim wbD As Workbook, wbS As Workbook
Dim wSc As Worksheet
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Set wbS = ThisWorkbook
'''Define the sheet
Set wSc = wbS.Sheets("Combined")
sFolder = wbS.Path & "\"
sFile = Dir(sFolder)
Do While sFile <> ""
If sFile <> wbS.Name Then
Set wbD = Workbooks.Open(sFolder & sFile)
' >>>>>> Adapt this part
wSc.Range("N" & wSc.Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).value = wbD.Name
' >>>>>>
wbD.Close savechanges:=True 'close without saving
End If
sFile = Dir 'next file
Loop
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

VBA Code Works in Excel 2010 But Not Excel 2013

I have code in VBA that copies worksheets with the same tab name from different workbooks into one workbook. The workbooks that the code pulls from is in one folder. The code is working fine in Excel 2010 however when I run it in Excel 2013, I get the following 1004 error message: "Sorry, we couldn't find ....xlsx. Is it possible it was moved, renamed or deleted." I'm not sure where to start troubleshooting. Has anyone run into this problem or have any ideas why it would be working fine in Excel 2010 and not Excel 2013? Thank you.
Sub CombineSheets()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Dim sPath As String
Dim sFname As String
Dim wBk As Workbook
Dim wSht As Variant
Application.EnableEvents = False
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
sPath = "PathName\Inputs"
ChDir sPath
sFname = "*"
sFname = Dir(sPath & "\" & sFname & ".xlsx*", vbNormal) <Code bombs here>

Are you sure this code has previously worked?
If it did, then your application's default file path has probably changed. You can check this with Debug.Print Application.DefaultFilePath In any event, you'd be better off defining your full path name explicitly in your sPath variable.
If you want to pick up legacy Excel documents then the string in your Dir function could just be "*.xls*" (but that would also collect macro-enabled workbooks). I wonder if that was originally intended with the asterix in your code.
There's no need to activate the window, but you might want an error handling line to check whether the "Risks" sheet does exist in the workbook.
There's also some redundancy in your code, so the whole thing ought to work okay as given below:
Sub CombineSheets()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Dim sPath As String
Dim sFname As String
Dim wBk As Workbook
Dim wSht As Worksheet
Application.EnableEvents = False
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
sPath = "PathName\Inputs" 'make this a full path eg "C:\..."
sFname = Dir(sPath & "\" & "*.xls*", vbNormal)
Do Until sFname = ""
'skip if it's this workbook
If sFname <> ThisWorkbook.Name Then
Set wBk = Workbooks.Open(sPath & "\" & sFname)
'check a "Risks" sheet exists
Set wSht = Nothing
On Error Resume Next
Set wSht = wBk.Sheets("Risks")
On Error GoTo 0
If Not wSht Is Nothing Then
wSht.Copy Before:=ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1)
End If
wBk.Close False
End If
sFname = Dir()
Loop
ActiveWorkbook.Save
Application.EnableEvents = True
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Copy Active sheet of all workbooks in a folder to a new workbook

Hi I have the following code to copy all worksheets of all workbooks in a given folder to a single workbook. I need to modify this code to copy only the active sheet on all workbooks (now it copies all the sheets). Can you help me with this?
Option Explicit
Sub CombineFiles()
Dim Path As String
Dim FileName As String
Dim Wkb As Workbook
Dim WS As Worksheet
Application.EnableEvents = False
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Path = "C:\" 'Change as needed
FileName = Dir(Path & "\*.xlsx", vbNormal)
Do Until FileName = ""
Set Wkb = Workbooks.Open(FileName:=Path & "\" & FileName)
For Each WS In Wkb.Worksheets
WS.Copy After:=ThisWorkbook.Sheets(ThisWorkbook.Sheets.Count)
Next WS
Wkb.Close False
FileName = Dir()
Loop
Application.EnableEvents = True
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
This way you can do what you want:
Option Explicit
Sub CombineFiles()
Dim Path As String
Dim FileName As String
Dim Wkb As Workbook
Dim WS As Worksheet
Application.EnableEvents = False
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Path = "C:\" 'Change as needed
FileName = Dir(Path & "\*.xlsx", vbNormal)
Do Until FileName = ""
Set Wkb = Workbooks.Open(FileName:=Path & "\" & FileName)
ActiveSheet.Copy After:=ThisWorkbook.Sheets(ThisWorkbook.Sheets.Count)
'For Each WS In Wkb.Worksheets
' WS.Copy After:=ThisWorkbook.Sheets(ThisWorkbook.Sheets.Count)
'Next WS
Wkb.Close False
FileName = Dir()
Loop
Application.EnableEvents = True
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
Note:
When you open the workbook, you go over all the sheets with the FOR LOOP, but you only need to copy the ActiveSheet then (as you said) you only need to copy to the new Wrokbook
