Collating multiple .csv files into a single work book
I’m trying to collate three differently formatted .csv files into one
workbook. But in order to get the latest data in my master document I still have to open the three source files which sort of spoils the point of the master doc. I don’t know if this is because: 1. I have set the book up wrongly b. I have stored the source files in the wrong place iii. am forced to leave the source files as .csv 100. A.N. other reason. Any suggestions on how to resolve this?

Collating multiple .csv files into a single work book
To clarify slightly, I need the three .csv files to appear as seperate
worksheets within the master doc, rather than combining all three into one big sheet "Mr_Wilf" wrote: I’m trying to collate three differently formatted .csv files into one workbook.

Collating multiple .csv files into a single work book
You can record a macro while you go through the procedure once, i.e.
open each file in turn and format the sheet how you want it to appear, then move the sheet into the Master file. Then you can repeat the macro whenever you need to. If your file names vary (eg date-stamped) then you will need to edit the macro to enable you to select the appropriate file. Hope this helps.

Hi Ron,
A good guide but think it will be overkill for what I need so done the simple route this time. Thanks for the reply though!

Collating multiple .csv files into a single work book
Ron,
Tried using this for another task and after I've selected four files I end up with the original workbook, two empty workbooks with one sheet each and a final book with one of th efiles in it correctly. I've just copied the macro for the multiple .csv files into a workbook module and changed one bit - default lookup folder. Any suggestions where I've mucked up?
