' Show the File Picker dialog box to select the folder containing the CSV files
Set FilePicker = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)
FilePicker.AllowMultiSelect = False
FilePicker.Title = "Select the folder containing the CSV files"
If FilePicker.Show <> -1 Then Exit Sub
FolderPath = FilePicker.SelectedItems(1)
' Loop through all CSV files in the folder
Filename = Dir(FolderPath & "\*.csv")
Do While Filename <> ""
' Open the CSV file
Workbooks.Open Filename:=FolderPath & "\" & Filename, ReadOnly:=True
' Copy the data to a new worksheet
Set Sheet = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets.Add(After:= _
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(ThisWorkbook.Worksheets.Count))
Sheet.Name = Left(Filename, Len(Filename) - 4)
Range("A1").Select
Selection.CurrentRegion.Select
Selection.Copy Sheet.Range("A1")
Workbooks(Filename).Close
' Move to the next row on the new worksheet
NextRow = Sheet.Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row + 1

VBA code can be used to merge the files into one workbook, while using command prompt can be a quick and simple solution for those who prefer a command-line interface. On the other hand, using Power Query is a more user-friendly solution that allows for editing, filtering, and transforming the data, and can be particularly useful for large datasets.
This post will introduce you to the concept of QueryTables in Excel VBA. QueryTables is an object that allow you to import data from external sources, such as databases, web pages, and text files, directly into your Excel workbook.
In this post, we will discuss how to create, refresh, and delete QueryTables using VBA code, and we’ll provide examples of how to use QueryTables with different types of data sources.
Creating a New QueryTable
If you want to create a new QueryTable, you can use the Add method of the QueryTables collection of a Worksheet object.
The Add method has several parameters that you can use to customize the QueryTable, such as the Connection parameter, which specifies the data source, and the Destinationparameter, which specifies the range of cells where the data should be imported.
Here’s an example of how to create a new QueryTable in VBA:
Sub ImportData_excelgeek()
Dim myquerytable As QueryTable
Set myquerytable = ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:="ODBC;DSN=DatabaseName;UID=Username;PWD=Password", Destination:=Range("A1"))
End Sub
In this example, the Connection parameter specifies an ODBC connection to a database, and the Destination parameter specifies that the imported data should be placed in cell A1 of the current worksheet.
Specifying Data Source
The Connection parameter is used to specify the data source for the QueryTable. The syntax of the Connection parameter depends on the type of data source you are using.
If you want to import data from a web page, you can use the following connection parameter:
In this example, the ODBC connection uses the Data Source Name (DSN) ” DatabaseName “, the username ” Username “, and the password ” Password “.
Refreshing the QueryTable
Once you have created a QueryTable, you can refresh it by calling the Refreshmethod of the QueryTable object.
Here’s an example of how to refresh a QueryTable:
Sub RefreshData_excelgeek()
Dim myquerytable As QueryTable
Set myquerytable = ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:="ODBC;DSN=DatabaseName;UID=Username;PWD=Password", Destination:=Range("A1"))
myquerytable.Refresh
End Sub
In this example, the RefreshData_excelgeek subroutine gets a reference to the first QueryTable in the active sheet’s QueryTables collection, and then calls the Refreshmethod of the QueryTable to refresh the data.
Cleaning up QueryTable
After you have finished using a QueryTable, you should clean it up by calling the Deletemethod of the QueryTable object.
Here’s an example of how to delete a QueryTable:
Sub Cleanup_Data_excelgeek()
Dim myquerytable As QueryTable
Set myquerytable = ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:="ODBC;DSN=DatabaseName;UID=Username;PWD=Password", Destination:=Range("A1"))
myquerytable.Refresh
myquerytable.Delete
End Sub
In this example, the Cleanup_Data_excelgeek subroutine gets a reference to the first QueryTable in the active sheet’s QueryTables collection, and then calls the Deletemethod of the QueryTable to delete it.
This post will introduce you to the process of importing a text file or CSV (Comma Separated Values) file into Excel. If you’re working with a large dataset, importing the data into Excel can save you time and effort compared to manually entering the data.
Excel provides several tools and methods for importing data from external sources, including text files and CSV files. In this article, we’ll show you how to use these tools and provide step-by-step instructions for importing a text file or CSV file into Excel.
Import Text File or CSV File into Excel Using From Text/CSV Feature

This post will introduce the Excel CUBESETCOUNT function. The CUBESETCOUNT function is used to count the number of items in a set retrieved from a cube data source in Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet. It is an important tool for data analysis and helps you to understand the size of your data sets and the relationships between them.
Whether you are working with a large data set or a small one, the CUBESETCOUNT function will allow you to efficiently count the items in your sets and make informed decisions based on your data.
The Excel CUBESETCOUNT function is only available in Microsoft Excel 2010 and later versions that support PivotTable reports and cube data source connections. It is not available in earlier versions of Excel or in other spreadsheet applications.
If you are using an earlier version of Excel or a different spreadsheet application, you will not be able to use the CUBESETCOUNT function and will need to use alternative methods for counting the items in your sets.
How To Use CUBESETCOUNT Function
The CUBESETCOUNT function in Excel is used to count the number of items in a set that is retrieved from a cube data source.
The syntax for the CUBESETCOUNT function is as follows:
=CUBESETCOUNT(cube_name, set_expression)
Where:
“cube_name” is the name of the cube data source that you want to retrieve data from.
“set_expression” is the expression that defines the set of items that you want to count.
The CUBESETCOUNT function Example
Here is an example of how to use the CUBESET function in Excel:
Suppose you have a cube data source named “ThisWorkbookDataModel” and you want to count the number of items in a set . To do this, you would use the following formula:
This formula would return the number of items in the set that represents the product.
When should you not use CUBESETCOUNT in Excel?
The CUBESETCOUNT function is used to count the number of items in a set created from a multi-dimensional data source, such as an OLAP cube. It is important to note that the CUBESETCOUNT function only works with data that is organized in an OLAP cube.
Therefore, if you are not working with data that is organized in an OLAP cube, you should not use the CUBESETCOUNT function as it will not produce meaningful results. Instead, you should use a different function that is more appropriate for your data, such as COUNT, COUNTIF, or SUMIF, depending on your needs.
What are the formulas similar to CUBESETCOUNT in Excel?
Here are some similar formula to CUBESETCOUNT in Excel:
CUBEKPIMEMBER: Returns the unique name of a Key Performance Indicator (KPI) in the cube hierarchy.
CUBEMEMBERPROPERTY: Returns the value of a property for a specified member in the cube hierarchy.
CUBERANKEDMEMBER: Returns the nth, or ranked, member in a set, based on a specified measure.
CUBEVALUE: Returns a value from a cube, based on a specified set of members.
Conclusion
CUBESETCOUNT function in Excel is a powerful tool for aggregating data from a cube or data model. It allows users to count the number of items in a set, which can be useful in a variety of applications, from financial modeling to data analysis.
