Ron, thanks for the help, but I apparently need a bit more. =(
I just tried example one, and it will do what I need other than the small
detail of all the lines show as yellow, and none of the data that I need
comes in. Below is the modded script, including which cells I need.
Sub Summary_cells_from_Different_Workbooks_1()
Dim FileNameXls As Variant
Dim SummWks As Worksheet
Dim ColNum As Integer
Dim myCell As Range, Rng As Range
Dim RwNum As Long, FNum As Long, FinalSlash As Long
Dim ShName As String, PathStr As String
Dim SheetCheck As String, JustFileName As String
Dim JustFolder As String
ShName = "Sheet3" '<---- Change
Set Rng = Range("L1,D5,D7,D8,D9,F9,D10,J9,L9,L10,D40,B20,F19:F38")
'<---- Change
'Select the files with GetOpenFilename
FileNameXls = Application.GetOpenFilename(filefilter:="Excel Files,
*.xl*", _
MultiSelect:=True)
If IsArray(FileNameXls) = False Then
'do nothing
Else
With Application
.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
.ScreenUpdating = False
End With
'Add a new workbook with one sheet for the Summary
Set SummWks = Workbooks.Add(1).Worksheets(1)
'The links to the first workbook will start in row 2
RwNum = 1
For FNum = LBound(FileNameXls) To UBound(FileNameXls)
ColNum = 1
RwNum = RwNum + 1
FinalSlash = InStrRev(FileNameXls(FNum), "\")
JustFileName = Mid(FileNameXls(FNum), FinalSlash + 1)
JustFolder = Left(FileNameXls(FNum), FinalSlash - 1)
'copy the workbook name in column A
SummWks.Cells(RwNum, 1).Value = JustFileName
'build the formula string
JustFileName = WorksheetFunction.Substitute(JustFileName, "'",
"''")
PathStr = "'" & JustFolder & "\[" & JustFileName & "]" & ShName
& "'!"
On Error Resume Next
SheetCheck = ExecuteExcel4Macro(PathStr & Range("A1").Address(,
, xlR1C1))
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
'If the sheet not exist in the workbook the row color will
be Yellow.
SummWks.Cells(RwNum, 1).Resize(1, Rng.Cells.Count + 1) _
.Interior.Color = vbYellow
Else
For Each myCell In Rng.Cells
ColNum = ColNum + 1
SummWks.Cells(RwNum, ColNum).Formula = _
"=" & PathStr & myCell.Address
Next myCell
End If
On Error GoTo 0
Next FNum
' Use AutoFit to set the column width in the new workbook
SummWks.UsedRange.Columns.AutoFit
MsgBox "The Summary is ready, save the file if you want to keep it"
With Application
.Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic
.ScreenUpdating = True
End With
End If
