I've used this inception macro (macro within a macro) technique several times for solving this issue.  Directory tool grabs all file names; first macro finds all sheets in those filenames; second macro downloads each sheet and combines data.

Solution attached. Option 1: manually adjust each spreadsheet to the same schema and sheet names. Option 2: use macros to read everything in.

A deceptively tricky challenge, here. That's partially why I do these challenges — to see use cases that I haven't encountered elsewhere.

I focused on just bringing in the files, although looking at their structure, they need some further cleaning up...
