@sammy3 One way of doing this with the batch macro

I used @binu_acs 's data for this one 😂. Learned this method in the Core Certification! @binu_acs is there any benefit of doing batch macros for this type of thing? (I'm just learning about batch macros now).

Macro should read them all regardless of schema I believe. Your method only works assuming they are the same schema? Or am I completely wrong :D

I will trial using the macro where a sheet has different schema and find out! 😀

@JSheppard98 that's actually really cool, thanks for that insight. I didn't know a macro output functioned like that in a batch macro.

@JSheppard98 so the approach I used skipped a sheet if it had different schema.

On that note, I think you're completely right then. Or it could be the blind leading the blind? 😉😂. Thanks a bunch for that!!

Hahaha no worries mate, have a payments file with hundreds of sheets in that kept saying different schema when using dynamic input. So had to find a workaround way a few weeks ago. Very nice once you do, thought it would be more complicated to make the macro, but not at all!
