Copy data from Unique files into Masterfile all the files in the same folder.

[DocAElstein]

Hi Raghavendra,

...I am sure this will save a lot of problems we are experiencing at our work.
we will have fewer problems thanks to your input and help.

I think often automaton helps keep things in order and correct, which is an extra Bonus to the saving of time which it should also give

..The date column L should have the date the macro was run on for the record's data that was copied.
In zMaster.xlsm, again the column L should have the date the records were copied...

I expected It was something like that.

My last code attempt may not be the most efficient as , as far as I know, it is not possible to write information to a closed file, so it would be necessary to open the data files to add the data in column L in the data files anyway.

But for now I will just modify the existing code.
Towards the start of the Looping through the data workbooks the data files are now opened.
The closed workbook references will still work even with the workbook open, so the same data is copied across.
The updated date information is included now in the master Workbook and the data workbooks.

So for example , I ran the latest code today, ( the 24th March ) , using the data files supplied in Post #1


Master Worksheet:
The master worksheet after running the code to merge data into it from the data worksheets, looks like this here:

Data worksheet example, ( For Workbook “Ravi.xlsx” , first worksheet)
Here is the data worksheet Before the code runs
