Help with macro

Hello,

Can someone please have a look at the code below and tell me where i would change it so that it doesnt copy the first heading? I just want to merge the sheets all onto on sheet but at the moment it is giving me two main headings.

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(1, 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

Try changing the following statements:
         'Data range in worksheet - starts from second row as first rows are the header rows in all worksheets
        Set rng = sht.Range(sht.Cells(1, 1), sht.Cells(65536, 1).End(xlUp).Resize(, colCount))


To this (note the 2):
         '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))

Hi Byundt,

I need to change the 2 to a 1 for it to copy the entire page, the 2 represent it starting from row 2 which means that any data in row one won't be merged. The macro is assuming that all the pages have the same headings but they dont.

I think the problem lies within this part of the code:

'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

I just can't figure out the whole "end with" I'm not sure if I need to put "end if" or "next" or something like that.

So in your 2nd post you state
The macro is assuming that all the pages have the same headings but they dont

Can you explain further?  Is just the text of the headings different, or do columns represent different fields across different worksheets?  If different fields, the merge process becomes more complex than your attempted solution.
