Workbooks,
csv and xml files into a Summary Workbook.
Excel 97-2003

Excel 2007-2016
2007: Click the Microsoft Office Button, click Excel Options, click the Add-Ins
tab.
2010-2016: Click on File, click on Options, click the Add-ins tab. In the
Manage drop-down, choose Excel Add-ins, and click Go. Use “Browse” to go
to the add-in and then click on OK. Verify RDBMerge is checked in the add-in
list and then click OK.
In Excel 2007-2016 you find a button named RDBMerge on the Ribbon on the
Data tab to open the UserForm. In Excel 97-2003 you find the menu option
RDBMerge in the Data menu to open the UserForm.
Folder Location:
In the folder location section click on the Browse button and select the folder
with the files you want to merge. After you do that you see the path returned
in the UserForm.
Which Files:
In the section "Which Files" select the type of files in the dropdown that you
want to merge. If you use the first option "XL?" it will merge all type of Excel
files with an extension that start with XL (xls, xlsx, xlsm, xlsb). But you can
also only merge files with a specific extension in the folder.By default the
option to merge all files in the folder is selected but you can also use the
option to filter on the file names, click on the Tips button for more
information. In the Add-in for Excel 2007-2013 there is also an option to
select the files you want, easy if you do not want to merge all the files in the
folder.
Which worksheet(s):
In this section you have the option to choose the worksheet by index or
name. If you use the index 1 it will use the first worksheet in each file, you
not have to know the worksheet name this way. You can also merge data
from all worksheets or use the filter option to filter on the worksheet names,
click on the Tips button for more information.
Which range:
You have the option to merge a fixed range (can be more than one area).
Click on the Tips button for more information. Or use the First cell ? till last
cell on worksheet option, you can change the start cell (default = A1). Use
A2 for example if you not want to copy your header each time.
Different options:
Before we press on the Merge button we have a few options here that you
can change.
1: The Add file name checkbox will add the file name or file and sheet name
before or above your data.
You can use it for example to filter the Combine sheet for the data from a
certain file.
2: To avoid problems with formulas I suggest you check Paste as values.
3: If your workbooks have links to other workbooks use the UpdateLinks
option to update the values.
4: Use the Paste data next to each other option if you want paste the data
from each file next to each other instead of below each other. If you set your
fixed range for example to A1:A100 and check this check box it will use one
column for each file in the combine sheet. If you range have two columns it
will use two columns for each file in the combine sheet.
5: If your workbooks have an Open password you can fill in the open/modify
password in the two text boxes, it is no problem if there are also workbooks
with no password in the folder.
You see it is very easy to work with this add-in, testing all options with a few
files in a test folder is the best way to get familiar with this add-in. If you
have problem or suggestions let me know and I try to help you.
Note: If you merge XML files it is possible that you get a warning that Excel
will be creating its own schema for this schema-free document, check the
checkbox "In the futere, do not show this message" to stop this.
