In this article, we will consider an example of a macro that can search for data in many workbooks and record the selected information in a separate report file.
To do this, open your book, go to
Sub Report_file()
'moonexcel.com.ua
Application.ScreenUpdating = False ' disable screen refresh
Set report = Workbooks("Report.xlsb").Worksheets(1)
find_field = report.[a1]
' open the dialog for selecting files for import
FilesToOpen = Application.GetOpenFilename _
(FileFilter:="All files (*.*), *.*", _
MultiSelect:=True, Title:=" Select files! ")
If TypeName(FilesToOpen) = "Boolean" Then
MsgBox " No file selected! "
Exit Sub
End If
' we go through all the selected files one by one
m = 1
While m <= UBound(FilesToOpen)
Set importWB = Workbooks.Open(Filename:=FilesToOpen(m))
Set importWS = importWB.Worksheets(1)
' we beat the cells" hats "
For Each cell2 In report.Range(report.Cells(1, 2), report.Cells(1, report.UsedRange.Columns.Count))
On Error Resume Next: Err.Clear
' looking for meaning in an open book
tr = importWS.UsedRange.Find(find_field).Row
tc = importWS.UsedRange.Find(find_field).Column
x = importWS.Range(importWS.Cells(tr, tc), importWS.Cells(20000, tc)).Find(report.Cells(m + 1, 1).Value).Row
y = importWS.UsedRange.Find(cell2.Value).Column
' transfer the found values to the report file
report.Cells(m + 1, cell2.Column).Value = importWS.Cells(x, y).Value
Next
importWB.Close savechanges:=False
m = m + 1
Wend
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
After that, you can return to Excel and run our macro through the menu
