Merging data from Different workbook into specific sheet of Main workbook

Question

I want to merge a worksheet content named "Task tracking" from 3 different workbooks named Sub WB1, Sub WB2 and Sub WB3 into single Main Workbooks Task tracking worksheet. Please help.

There are 4 workbook in total with 12 worksheets in each.

• Main Workbook
• Sub WB1
• Sub WB2
• Sub WB3

I want to merge the data from "Task Tracking" (Worksheet name) from Sub WB1, Sub WB2 and Sub WB3 into Main Workbook using a Consolidate button in the main workbook.

I used the below code which I got from some reference but I am getting Runtime Error: 1004. Please help.

GetOpenFilename() method doesn't accept such a FileFilter syntax as "Sub WB1.xlsm, Sub WB2.xlsm, Sub WB3.xlsm"

if you want the user to select files with given names only then you have to use a UserForm

for instance you could act as follows:

• change:

   FName = Application.GetOpenFilename("Sub WB1.xls, Sub WB2.xls, Sub WB3.xls", MultiSelect:=True) 

  to:

   FName = GetFName() 

• add the following Function (maybe in the same module as your Sub's one)

   Function GetFName() As Variant Dim iList As Long Dim selectedFiles As String With ListFiles_UF With .ListBox1 .MultiSelect = fmMultiSelectMulti .List = Array("Sub WB1.xlsm", "Sub WB2.xlsm", "Sub WB3.xlsm") End With .Show With .ListBox1 If .ListIndex > 0 Then For iList = 0 To .ListCount - 1 If .Selected(iList) Then selectedFiles = selectedFiles & .List(iList) & "|" Next GetFName = Split(Left(selectedFiles, Len(selectedFiles) - 1), "|") End If End With End With End Function 

• add a UserForm to your VBA Project and name it after "ListFiles_UF" (you can choose any other valid name but be consistent with it throughout all code)

• place a ListBox control (by default named after "ListBox1") and a CommandButton control (by default named after "CommandButton1") in the "ListFiles_UF" userform

• put this code into "ListFiles_UF" code pane

   Private Sub CommandButton1_Click() Me.Hide End Sub
