From last few months, we have been receiving frequent requests from users for a VBA tool which can consolidate Excel files from a folder. So here we come with one more free VBA tool from ExcelSirJi team. With this Excel Consolidator tool, you will be able to consolidate data from all Excel files in a folder.

             If wksSheet.Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeLastCell).Row > 1 Then
                 wksSheet.Range("2:" & wksSheet.Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeLastCell).Row).Copy wksConsol.Range("A" & lConsolCounter)
                 lConsolCounter = lConsolCounter + wksSheet.Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeLastCell).Row - 1
             End If
