  • The file paths are contained in a different workbook. Is this correct? Will you have multiple file paths for multiple workbooks on which you want to run the macro or only one path and workbook at a time?

  • In the last file your shared, the data is in column A. In the original file, the data was in column G. That is why the macro doesn't work. What I need is a copy of the actual workbook, not a sample and a copy of the workbook which contains the file paths.

  • Yes. Just place the line of code at the end of the macro.
