For example you have 100 worksheets of data and all the worksheets has the similar structure. All we would want is getting all the data multiple worksheets consolidated into a single worksheet. Do it in seconds with the following code.
Note: This code assumes that ALL worksheets have the same field structure; same column headings, and the same column order. The code copies all rows into one new worksheet called Master.
Sub CopyFromWorksheets() Dim wrk As Workbook 'Workbook object - Always good to work with object variables Dim sht As Worksheet 'Object for handling worksheets in loop Dim trg As Worksheet 'Master Worksheet Dim rng As Range 'Range object Dim colCount As Integer 'Column count in tables in the worksheets Set wrk = ActiveWorkbook 'Working in active workbook For Each sht In wrk.Worksheets If sht.Name = "Master" Then MsgBox "There is a worksheet called as 'Master'." & vbCrLf & _ "Please remove or rename this worksheet since 'Master' would be" & _ "the name of the result worksheet of this process.", vbOKOnly + vbExclamation, "Error" Exit Sub End If Next sht 'We don't want screen updating Application.ScreenUpdating = False 'Add new worksheet as the last worksheet Set trg = wrk.Worksheets.Add(After:=wrk.Worksheets(wrk.Worksheets.Count)) 'Rename the new worksheet trg.Name = "Master" 'Get column headers from the first worksheet 'Column count first Set sht = wrk.Worksheets(1) colCount = sht.Cells(1, 255).End(xlToLeft).Column 'Now retrieve headers, no copy&paste needed With trg.Cells(1, 1).Resize(1, colCount) .Value = sht.Cells(1, 1).Resize(1, colCount).Value 'Set font as bold .Font.Bold = True End With 'We can start loop For Each sht In wrk.Worksheets 'If worksheet in loop is the last one, stop execution (it is Master worksheet) If sht.Index = wrk.Worksheets.Count Then Exit For End If 'Data range in worksheet - starts from second row as first rows are the header rows in all worksheets Set rng = sht.Range(sht.Cells(2, 1), sht.Cells(65536, 1).End(xlUp).Resize(, colCount)) 'Put data into the Master worksheet trg.Cells(65536, 1).End(xlUp).Offset(1).Resize(rng.Rows.Count, rng.Columns.Count).Value = rng.Value Next sht 'Fit the columns in Master worksheet trg.Columns.AutoFit 'Screen updating should be activated Application.ScreenUpdating = True End Sub

The good news is this script successfully created a new worksheet and renamed it Master. The bad news is the rest of the script loops through all of my worksheets and copies & pastes only the first column of data. It doesn’t even copy and paste the column headers.
