Help with merging workbooks

[m14020256]

Hi all,

I have workbooks representing sales by product by month. This means that there is a separate sheet for:

• sales of soap in January
• sales of detergent in January
• sales of soap in February
• sales of detergent in February
• ...and so on...

The column headers in all these files are the same i.e. product name, sales records, date of sale

I would like to create a new workbook that consolidates all these files in a single sheet. I want the headers to be set at the top once and then all data to be copied as rows below the header. the caveat is that I only want non-blank rows to be copied.

Can anyone help?

Thanks a lot in advance
Michael

I believe this script by malik641 is very close to what I want to do - the only difference is being that I want all the data as rows in one worksheet whereas this script creates a separate worksheet for each workbook. Can anyone help?

I can't post links but the kb_id = 829

I think this code is exactly what I need but I cannot get it to copy only the cells that have values in them (i.e. non-blank cells). Can anyone help?
