My work is regarding formating 100 of files everyday. though i have a macro desined for the purpose but i have to run the macro on each and every file one after saving previous.
my question is how can i be able to run my macro on these opened workbooks in one step. As i save one it would run on other one in the queue.
Put the following macro in a "BASE" workbook as Passerby mentioned
Sub SO()
Dim macroList As Object
Dim workbookName As String
Dim wbFullPath
Dim macroName As String
Dim currentWb As Workbook
Dim masterWb As Workbook ' the Excel file you are calling this procedure from
Dim useWbList As Boolean
Dim height As Long, i As Long
Dim dataArray As Variant
useWbList = False ' DEFINE which input method
Set macroList = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
If useWbList Then
' you can also from the dictionary from 2 columns of an excel file , probably better for management
With masterWb.Worksheets("Sheet1") '<~~ change Sheet1 to the sheet name storing the data
height = .Cells(.Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row ' Assume data in column A,B, starting from row 1
If height > 1 Then
ReDim dataArray(1 To height, 1 To 2)
dataArray = .Range(.Cells(1, 1), .Cells(height, 2)).Value
For i = 1 To height
macroList.Add dataArray(i, 1), dataArray(i, 2)
Next i
Else
'height = 1 case
macroList.Add .Cells(1, 1).Value, .Cells(1, 2).Value
End If
End With
Else
' ENTER THE FULl PATH in 1st agrument below, Macro Name in 2nd argument
' Remember to make sure the macro is PUBLIC, try to put them in Module inside of Sheets'
macroList.Add "C:\Users\wangCL\Desktop\Book1.xlsm", "ThisWorkbook.testing"
'macroList.Add "FULL PATH", "MACRO NAME"
'macroList.Add "FULL PATH", "MACRO NAME"
'macroList.Add "FULL PATH", "MACRO NAME"
End If
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
For Each wbFullPath In macroList.keys
On Error GoTo 0
macroName = macroList.Item(workbookName)
workbookName = Mid(wbFullPath, InStrRev(wbFullPath, "\") + 1)
Err.Clear
On Error Resume Next
Set currentWb = Nothing
Set currentWb = Workbooks(workbookName) ' see if the workbook is already open
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
' open the workbook if workbook NOT opened
Set currentWb = Workbooks.Open(workbookName, ReadOnly:=True)
End If
On Error GoTo 0
' run the macro
Application.Run workbookName & "!" & macroList.Item(wbFullPath)
'close the workbook after running the macro
currentWb.Close saveChanges:=False
Set currentWb = Nothing
Next wbFullPath
End Sub
Hope it helps and please let me know if there's anything unclear
I have got my solve using below code.
Sub OpenAllWorkbooksnew()
Set destWB = ActiveWorkbook
Dim DestCell As Range
Dim cwb As Workbook
For Each cwb In Workbooks
**Call donemovementReport**
ActiveWorkbook.Close True
ActiveWorkbook.Close False
Next cwb

I have a master workbook that I have that already looks through all the files in a folder. However, one of the tabs needs to look through all the tabs in a different selected workbook "Data". The workbook has roughly 30 worksheets, and I need to loop through each worksheet except "Investments" and "Funds". If it makes it easier these are the first two tabs in the workbook. I then need to copy cell F9 in each worksheet, paste it into a different workbook "Master" cell "C4", go back to the same worksheet in the "data" workbook and copy range "C16:C136" and paste that into cell "E4" of the "master" workbook. Then it would need to loop to the next worksheet in the "data" workbook and continue the loop. For each new worksheet, I need it to paste one row lower in the "master" file. i.e. the second worksheet would paste in "C5" and "E5".
If it makes it easier I can split this up into two macros. And Just paste all the data from the worksheets into a new blank sheet in the data work book and then I can have another one to copy all of that over into the "master" workbook once done.
Thanks in Advance

Please show us your first attempt. Feel free to put in comments like
' I need this to do XXXX here, but I don't know how
Here are a some hints:
To loop through all sheets in a workbook, use:
For each aSheet in MyWorkbook.Sheets
To skip some specific sheets, say:
If aSheet.Name <> "Investments" And aSheet.Name <> "Funds"
To copy from aSheet to MasterSheet, start by setting the initial destinations:
set rSource = aSheet.range("F9")
set rDestin = MasterSheet.range("C4")
Then in your loop you do the copy:
rDestin.Value = rSource.Value
...and set up the next set of locations
set rSource = rSource.offset(1,0)
set rDestin = rDestin.offset(1,0)
Does that help?
EDIT: Briefly looking at your version, I think this part won't work:
If ws.Name <> "Funds" And ws.Name <> "Investments" Then
Next ws
Don't you want to delete that last line?
EDIT 2: You use this a lot:
wb.Worksheets.<something>
But that does not refer to a specific worksheet. You want to use "ws", like this:
ws.Range("F9")
BIG EDIT:
Step through this version carefully and see how it works:

I recently asked a question and received a great answer on this site, but I am now running into a different problem. The code below works well for running through each workbook in a folder, copying a sheet's contents, and pasting those contents into a master workbook exactly how I would like:
Sub ConslidateWorkbooks()
'Code to pull sheets from multiple Excel files in one file directory
'into master "Consolidation" sheet.
Dim FolderPath As String
Dim Filename As String
Dim Sheet As Worksheet
Dim wbName As String
With ActiveSheet
Range("A1").Activate
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
FolderPath = ActiveWorkbook.Path & "\"
Filename = Dir(FolderPath & "*.xls*")
wbName = ActiveWorkbook.Name
Do While Filename <> ""
If Filename <> wbName Then
Workbooks.Open Filename:=FolderPath & Filename, ReadOnly:=True
For Each Sheet In ActiveWorkbook.Sheets
copyOrRefreshSheet ThisWorkbook, Sheet
Next Sheet
Workbooks(Filename).Saved = True
Workbooks(Filename).Close
ActiveSheet.Range("A1").Activate
End If
Filename = Dir()
Loop
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
Sub copyOrRefreshSheet(destWb As Workbook, sourceWs As Worksheet)
Dim ws As Worksheet
On Error Resume Next
Set ws = destWb.Worksheets(sourceWs.Name)
On Error GoTo 0
If ws Is Nothing Then
sourceWs.Copy After:=destWb.Worksheets(destWb.Worksheets.Count)
Else
ws.Unprotect Password:="abc123"
ws.Cells.ClearContents
sourceWs.UsedRange.Copy
ws.Range(sourceWs.UsedRange.Address).PasteSpecial (xlPasteAll)
Application.CutCopyMode = False
End If
End Sub
The problem I am having now: After the paste is completed, each sheet in the master workbook has all of its cells selected, as though I Ctrl+A'd the entire sheet. I would like to get rid of this. It is a small task which I tried to accomplish in the line ActiveSheet.Range("A1").Activate within the Do While .. loop, but it has not worked for me.
EDIT:
I found a solution that works in this case. I am not sure why this was necessary, because the comments and answers in this thread seem like they should work, but they did not. I call this sub before I turn screenupdating to True in the main sub:
Sub selectA1()
Worksheets(1).Activate
Dim Sheet As Worksheet
For Each Sheet In ActiveWorkbook.Sheets
Sheet.Activate
ActiveWindow.ScrollRow = 1
ActiveWindow.ScrollColumn = 1
Sheet.Range("A1").Select
Next Sheet
Worksheets(1).Activate
End Sub
I realize this is more complicated than it should be, but it works for my purposes.
In your copy sub, add in another code in the loop that will select a cell which should deactivate the total used range selection and just select the coded range.
Sub copyOrRefreshSheet(destWb As Workbook, sourceWs As Worksheet)
Dim ws As Worksheet
On Error Resume Next
Set ws = destWb.Worksheets(sourceWs.Name)
On Error GoTo 0
If ws Is Nothing Then
sourceWs.Copy After:=destWb.Worksheets(destWb.Worksheets.Count)
Else
ws.Unprotect Password:="abc123"
ws.Cells.ClearContents
sourceWs.UsedRange.Copy
ws.Range(sourceWs.UsedRange.Address).PasteSpecial (xlPasteAll)
ws.range("A1").select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
End If
End Sub
I added ws.range("A1").select which should do as I described above.
I have the below code.
Very simply it asks the user to select multiple excel workbooks and then will copy and paste data from those workbooks to the current work book.
1.
I would like to add the functionality, whereby instead of the user selecting the excel workbooks. The excel workbooks will be selected in that their names are listed on the current excel sheet.
For example - Select excel workbooks in specified folder whose names are listed in A1:A5.
I would like to perform automatic processing on the data before it is copied into the current work book.
For example if workbook name = 100.xlsx then multiply selection by 15.
See my current code
Sub SUM_BalanceSheet()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
'FileNames is array of file names, file is for loop, wb is for the open file within loop
'PasteSheet is the sheet where we'll paste all this information
'lastCol will find the last column of PasteSheet, where we want to paste our values
Dim FileNames
Dim file
Dim wb As Workbook
Dim PasteSheet As Worksheet
Dim lastCol As Long
Set PasteSheet = ActiveSheet
lastCol = PasteSheet.Cells(1, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column
'Build the array of FileNames to pull data from
FileNames = Application.GetOpenFilename(filefilter:="Excel Files (*.xlsx), *.xlsx", MultiSelect:=True)
'If user clicks cancel, exit sub rather than throw an error
If Not IsArray(FileNames) Then Exit Sub
'Loop through selected files, put file name in row 1, paste P18:P22 as values
'below each file's filename. Paste in successive columns
For Each file In FileNames
Set wb = Workbooks.Open(file, UpdateLinks:=0)
PasteSheet.Cells(1, lastCol + 1) = wb.Name
wb.Sheets("Page 1").Range("L14:L98").Copy
PasteSheet.Cells(2, lastCol + 1).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues
wb.Close SaveChanges:=False
lastCol = lastCol + 1
Next
'If it was a blank sheet then data will start pasting in column B, and we don't
'want a blank column A, so delete it if it's blank
If Cells(1, 1) = "" Then Cells(1, 1).EntireColumn.Delete shift:=xlLeft
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
This is a frame that needs fine-tuning, but you can get the idea:
Dim i&, wbName$
Dim rng As Excel.Range
Dim wb, wb1 As Excel.Workbook
Set wb = Application.ThisWorkbook
Set rng = wb.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1")
For i = 0 To 14
wbName = CStr(rng.Offset(i, 0).Value)
On Error Resume Next 'Disable error handling. We will check whether wb is nothing later
wb1 = Application.Workbooks.Open(wbName, False)
On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
If Not IsNothing(wb1) Then
'Copy-paste here
If wb1.Name = "100" Then 'any condition(s)
'Multiply, divide, or whatever
End If
End If
Next
ErrorHandler:
MsgBox "Error " & Err.Description
'Add additional error handling
Try not to use ActiveSheet and ActiveWorkbook without absolute need. Use ThisWorkbook, dedicated Workbook object, and named sheet Workbook.Sheets("Name") or Workbook.Sheets(index) instead.
Alternatively instead of disabling error checking you can do it and fail if a file is missing.
I keep having this issue of VBA either not having an object for the new sheet I want to merge, or having the subscript out of range issue come up. None of the things I tried ended up working.

This is where I try to add an extra loop that copies the next sheet (which is Sheet12) but it comes up with the Subscript our of range error.

It will then move to the next sheet to perform the loop again.

Any help an this would be great
Your source code is very confusing and I believe you're stumbling because the ActiveWorkbook and ActiveSheet change each time you open a new workbook. It's also not clear why you're copying/merging the data from each worksheet in every opened workbook and then copying Sheet3. You will help yourself by more clearly defining what and where your data is and how you're moving it around.
As an example (that may not solve your problem, because your problem is not clear), look at the code below to see how you can keep the sources and destinations straight within your loops. Modify this example as much as you need in order to match your exact situation.
Sub Merge()
'--- assumes that each sheet in your destination workbook matches a sheet
' in each of the source workbooks, then copies the data from each source
' sheet and merges/appends that source data to the bottom of each
' destination sheet
Dim destWB As Workbook
Dim srcWB As Workbook
Dim destSH As Worksheet
Dim srcSH As Worksheet
Dim srcRange As Range
Dim i As Long
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Set destWB = ThisWorkbook
For i = 0 To FileListBox.ListCount - 1
Set srcWB = Workbooks.Open(CStr(FileListBox(i, 0)), ReadOnly:=True)
For Each destSH In destWB.Sheets
Set srcSH = srcWB.Sheets(destSH.Name) 'target the same named worksheet
lastdestrow = destSH.Range("A").End(xlUp)
srcSH.UsedRange.Copy destSH.Range(Cells(lastdestrow, 1))
Next destSH
srcWB.Close
Next i
Application.ScreenUpdating = True

I have a very old Excel spreadsheet within a macro in it.
Usage is: start the spreadsheet, push button, select a few other spreadsheets, complete copy and paste in one spreadsheet file.
It works with Office Excel 2007, but not with Office 2013.
When the macro starts, once the files to be appended have been selected, Excel reports:
Run-Time error: 1004

then, when I click on debug, it mark this VBA row in yellow:

You must set the selection type of your listbox on the worksheet to "Single", the reason you're getting the error is because currently it is set to either "Multi" or "Extend". You can right click the listbox and click on "Format Control"
All the information I found, states that the FormatControl.ListIndex property does not work when the selection type is set to anything but "Single"
Looking at your code, it would seem illogical to select multiple lines anyway. The Workbook.Open can only open one file at the time. You can of course incorporate it in a loop to open multiple workbooks, but that is not the case.
With the line that the debugger highlights:
Set wbData = Workbook.Open("Filename as String", ,"Read only")
The Filename in your code is set as follows:
bLauncher.Worksheets("config").Cells(Worksheets("config").Range("Program1").Row - 1 + shtActive.Shapes(1).ControlFormat.ListIndex, Worksheets("config").Range("Program1").Column)
The Code refers to a worksheet called "Config". On this worksheet a cell is referred to by the
Cells(Rowindex, Columnindex)
The Row- and Columnindex are numbers which refer to the rownumber and column the cell is on. e.g. cell A2 is Cells(2, 1) cell E34 is ` Cells(34,5)
You're code is setting the Rowindex as follows
Worksheets("config").Range("Program1").Row - 1 + shtActive.Shapes(1).ControlFormat.ListIndex
This bit refers to a named range named "Pgrogam1" on the worksheet "Config" the .row returns the rownumber this range is on. 1 is then subtracted from this number and then the listindex of the selection is added to arrive at the cell which holds the filename which corresponds to the selection in the listbox.
Multiple selections in the listbox would mean that you're trying to open multiple cells and with your current code that is impossible, even under office 2007.
