I've never used VB(A) before, so forgive me if this is a trivial question.
I am trying to run the code outlined here on Excel 2016 on a Mac.
Sub simpleXlsMerger()
Dim bookList As Workbook
Dim mergeObj As Object, dirObj As Object, filesObj As Object, everyObj As Object
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Set mergeObj = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
'change folder path of excel files here
Set dirObj = mergeObj.Getfolder("/...filepath")
Set filesObj = dirObj.Files
For Each everyObj In filesObj
Set bookList = Workbooks.Open(everyObj)
'change "A2" with cell reference of start point for every files here
'for example "B3:IV" to merge all files start from columns B and rows 3
'If you're files using more than IV column, change it to the latest column
'Also change "A" column on "A65536" to the same column as start point
Range("A2:IV" & Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Row).Copy
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(1).Activate
'Do not change the following column. It's not the same column as above
Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).PasteSpecial
Application.CutCopyMode = False
bookList.Close
Next
End Sub
However, I get the error, that goes off without specifying a line:
Any thoughts on how I can modify this code for Mac?
Try this, based on the other (unaccepted) answer to similar question.
Is there an alternative to Scripting.FileSystemObject in Excel 2011 VBA for the mac?
The problem is that Scripting.Runtime library is not available on Mac OS, so you can't do CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
. This uses the VBA Dir
function to build a Collection
of files.
Also revised for more efficient "copy" that doesn't use the Copy
method.
(untested, so bear with me in case of typos/etc.)
Sub simpleXlsMerger()
Dim bookList As Workbook, vals as Variant
Dim filesObj As Object, everyObj As Object
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Set mergeObj = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
'change folder path of excel files here
Set filesObj = GetFileList("/...filepath")
For Each everyObj In filesObj
Set bookList = Workbooks.Open(everyObj)
'change "A2" with cell reference of start point for every files here
'for example "B3:IV" to merge all files start from columns B and rows 3
'If you're files using more than IV column, change it to the latest column
'Also change "A" column on "A65536" to the same column as start point
vals = Range("A2:IV" & Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row).Value2
With ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(1)
'Do not change the following column. It's not the same column as above
.Range("A" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).Resize(UBound(vals, 1), UBound(vals, 2)).Value = vals
End With
bookList.Close
Next
End Sub
Function GetFileList(folderPath As String) As Collection
'mac vba does not support wildcards in DIR function
Dim file As String
Dim returnCollection As New Collection
If Right$(folderPath, 1) <> "\" Then
folderPath = folderPath & "\"
End If
file = Dir$(folderPath) 'setup initial file
Do While Len(file)
returnCollection.Add folderPath & file
file = Dir$
Loop
Set GetFileList = returnCollection
End Function
An alternative idea would be to create a loop and save each excel file as a csv then run a batch script.
Example: copy *.csv merged.csv
For the CSV loop use: Converting XLS/XLSX files in a folder to CSV
