That's the weird thing - I was getting an error message at the very end of my code where I called the format_all_summary_page - because it hadn't retrieved any data from the files in the folder I chose! Argh!
I was recommended to check out this Ron de Bruin code (link below) and I was able to modify it a bit for my purposes. But being a nube at this, I'm not sure how/where to change the code so that instead of pasting the data as values, it will paste special - paste link (I need links because users may be changing data in the original workbooks and I need to make sure that it's also changed in the master summary workbook.)
Also, Ron de Bruin's code creates a new workbook as the "master" workbook where it pastes everything - but I already have my "master" workbook where I want it to paste. This workbook will be open and the code will be assigned to a button for the user to click. The name of my workbook will be "MASTER BUDGET SUMMARY" and the sheet it should paste the links into will be "Sheet1". Any idea how I could change the code to paste into my existing workbook instead of creating a new one? I'm really having a hard time deciphering this one!
Here's the link to Ron de Bruin's code: Merge data from all workbooks in a folder
Here's my edited code from Ron de Bruin (not including the basic codes in used to get the file names, find last cell, etc.):
Code:
Option Explicit
'The example macro below you can use to merge a fixed range or
'all cells from one or all worksheets from each workbook in a folder
'First we call the Function "Get_File_Names" to fill a array with all file names
'There are three arguments in this Function that we can change
'With the macro below you can browse to the folder instead of enter in in the code
'2) Subfolders = True if you want to include subfolders
'3) ExtStr = file extension of the files you want to merge
' ExtStr examples are: "*.xls" , "*.csv" , "*.xlsx"
' "*.xlsm" ,"*.xlsb" , for all Excel file formats use "*.xl*"
' Do not change myReturnedFiles:=myFiles
'Then if there are files in the folder we call the macro "Get_Data"
'There are six arguments in this macro that we can change
'1) FileNameInA = True to add the path/file name in the A column
'2) PasteAsValues = True to paste as values (recommend)
'3) SourceShName = sheet name, if "" it will use the SourceShIndex and if "all" it copy from all worksheets
'4) SourceShIndex = to avoid problems with different sheet names use the index (1 is the first worksheet)
'5) SourceRng = Range you want to copy. Tip: "A:F" will copy all cells with data in this six columns
'6) StartCell = Enter the first cell and the macro will copy from that cell till the last cell on the worksheet
' If StartCell = "" then it use the SourceRng
' Do not change myReturnedFiles:=myFiles
'The example below will merge THE DATA FROM THE TABLE NAMED "SUMMARY" from the THIRD worksheet of each file
Sub RDB_Merge_Data_Browse()
Dim myFiles As Variant
Dim myCountOfFiles As Long
