Surprisingly, few people use the OS X batch processing and automation app Automator even though it is an easy-to-use and powerful tool. You can just about automate any sequence of events in OS, actions linked to various software, and the presets saved as a “workflow.” It’s like an action in Photoshop, a batch process, but so much more sophisticated than that. It’s even more powerful if you combine the power of Automator with the power of Applescripts, OS X’s native scripting language.

Text from Excel 2007 to a. Jan 09, 2010 I'm attempting to create an automator workflow that will string some text together so that it can be imported into an Excel worksheet. Here's my workflow so far. • New Text File. (for use in Excel, import text files action) Read Today;keywords go here (line1 & line2 & line3). Combining Text in Automator for Excel import. Merge all CSV or TXT files in a folder in one worksheet Example 1. Merge all data from the csv files in a folder into a text file. Now we must import the text file all.txt into Excel. 1) Open Excel 2) When you use File Open to open all.txt the Text Import Wizard will help you import the file 3) Choose Delimited.
In this article, we will show you four cool things you can do with Automator. Once you have done these, perhaps you’ll start to experiment yourself and use it more often to automate your frequently used processes.
1. Word Count
Curiously, not many apps have a built-in word count, which is odd as with a lot of situations you have a limited amount of words, or worse still characters, that you can use for your text. You would think more apps would have this feature, but since they don’t, let’s add it with Automator.
Open Automator and choose to create a Service workflow.
Add a “Run Applescript” action, leave the “Output replaces selected text” box unchecked, and type or cut and paste the following script into the action:
Save as “Word Counter MTE,” and the next time you want to count words in any app, select the words and go to the “Application -> Services” menu, and one of the selections will be “Word Counter MTE” (in supported apps).
Some apps don’t recognise the text is selected for various reasons, but many apps will. If they do, you will get something like the following output:
2. Make Desktop NASA Image of the Day
This is a great one if you get easily bored with your desktop image. Using RSS feeds and Automator, you can make an application that when you run it seeks out the RSS feed for NASA picture of the day, downloads all the pictures from the feed and sets the top one as your desktop image.
The desktop image settings you have will remain, so set the image to cycle through all the images in your new directory every thirty minutes for a background slideshow.
Do as you did just now and open Automator, but this time choose to create an Application workflow.
Add a “Get Specified URLs” action and give it the URL:
Next drag in a “Get Image URLs From Articles” action and select “linked from the articles” from the drop-down.
Choose a “Download URLs” action and drag that to the workflow. Choose a new directory, like for example Pictures -> NasaPictures.
And finally add a “Set Desktop Picture” action.
Save it to the desktop and run it. The folder will fill with fresh NASA pictures and begin cycling through them as you work.
3. Convert Graphics by Dropping Images onto an Icon
This is a really neat one. This creates an icon you can drop files onto and convert them to jpeg, even resize them.
Create an Application workflow.
Drag in a “New Folder” action and type in the name CONVERTED FILES (type a space after the words) and a location for the folder to be created when the app is run from the drop-down.
Now click the variables button on the left-hand side next to actions, and you get some variables to drag in. Select “Date & Time” and drag “Current Time” to the space after CONVERTED FILES. Type another space after it, then drag “Today’s Date” after it.
Use the drop-down on Today’s Date and select anything without / characters in it. This will not be tolerated by the file system.
Add a “Get Folder Contents” action and drag this under the last action. This prepares the file for processing.
Add a “Change Type of Images” action and select JPEG from the dropdown. You can at this point add conversion options, but for now we’ll skip that and save.
Save the Application to your Applications folder, then locate it in the finder and drag it to the Dock.
Now when you run it by dragging any kind of file to it, a folder will be created on the desktop, and a JPEG version of the file will be saved to it.
4. Batch Rename
And finally a trivial but laborious task, renaming multiple files. Obviously this is something that should be approached carefully, but with a bit of clever coding, we can make this job a lot easier than it has been before.
This time create a new Workflow workflow. Yes, there is a workflow called Workflow. This is to create workflows that can be saved for later editing.
Drag these two actions into the workflow: “Get Specified Finder Items,” and “Rename Finder Items.” If they are hard to find, search for them in the window at the top of the list.
Configure it per the above screenshot. Add the files you want to rename to the top window. On the bottom window choose the method you want to use to rename. Choose to rename the files sequentially, add a new name such as “bird pictures” and then place a number after the name in the drop-down menus. Choose to make the numbers all three digits long in case the number creeps over 100.
An example of the file names you will end up with is displayed at the bottom of the action.
Once you’re happy with the naming action, press the play button at the top right of the Automator window, and the actions will run. Before the action, they look like this:
And after, they look like this:
Perfect.
Save it as a Workflow. Now you can load the workflow, run it in Automator and change the files you want to rename each time. If you rename files in exactly the same way each time, then you can perhaps save it as an application.

How to combine multiple workbooks into one master workbook in Excel?
Have you ever been stuck when you have to combine multiple workbooks into a master workbook in Excel? The most terrible thing is that the workbooks you need to combine contain multiple worksheets. And how to combine only the specified worksheets of multiple workbooks into one workbook? This tutorial demonstrates several useful methods to help you solve the problem steps by steps.
- Method A: Combine multiple workbooks into one workbook with Move or Copy function
- Method B: Combine multiple workbooks or specified sheets of workbooks to a master workbook with VBA
- Method C: Easily combine multiple workbooks or specified sheets of workbooks to one workbook
Combine multiple workbooks Into one workbook with Move or Copy function
If there are just a couple of workbooks need to be combined, you can use the Move or Copy command to manually move or copy worksheets from the original workbook to the master workbook.
1. Open the workbooks which you will merge into a master workbook.
2. Select the worksheets in the original workbook that you will move or copy to the master workbook.
Notes:
1). You can select multiple non-adjacent worksheets with holding theCtrlkey and clicking the sheet tabs one by one.
2). For selecting multiple adjacent worksheets, please click on the first sheet tab, hold theShiftkey, and then click the last sheet tab to select them all.
3). You can right click on any sheet tab, click on Select All Sheetsfrom the context menu to select all worksheets in the workbook at the same time.
3. After selecting the needed worksheets, right click the sheet tab, and then click Move or Copy from the context menu. See screenshot:
4. Then the Move or Copy dialog pops up, in the To book drop-down, select the master workbook you will move or copy worksheets into. Select move to end in the Before sheet box, check the Create a copy box, and finally click the OK button.
Then you can see worksheets in two workbooks combined into one. Please repeat the above steps to move worksheets from other workbooks into the master workbook.
Unbelievable! The operation of two or more documents is even pleasant than the single document operation.

2. Launch an Excel file (this workbook will be the master workbook).
3. Press the Alt + F11 keys to open the Microsoft Visual Basic for applications window. In the Microsoft Visual Basic for applications window, click Insert > Module, then copy below VBA code into the Module window.
VBA code 1: Merge multiple Excel workbooks into one
Notes:
1. The above VBA code will keep the sheet names of the original workbooks after merging.
2. If you want to distinguish which worksheets in the master workbook came from where after merging, please apply the below VBA code 2.
3. If you just want to combine specified worksheets of the workbooks into a master workbook, the below VBA code 3 can help.
In VBA codes, “C:UsersDT168DesktopKTE” is the folder path. In the VBA code 3, 'Sheet1,Sheet3' is the specified worksheets of the workbooks you will combine to a master workbook. You can change them based on your needs.
VBA code 2: Merge Workbooks into one (each worksheet will be named with prefix of its original file name):
VBA code 3: Merge specified worksheets of workbooks into a master workbook:
4. Press the F5 key to run the code. Then all worksheets or specified worksheets of the workbooks in the certain folder are combined to a master workbook at once.

- To post as a guest, your comment is unpublished.Hi everyone,
First of all I have to tell that I have no experience with Macro (VBA Codes). However what I need is related to this. Maybe you guys could help me with it.
I have a workbook and in this workbook there are 10 worksheets. The first 9 Sheets have the same order of the coloumns of titles and in these columns there are names, dates, percentages of Project Status, comments to Projects etc.. As I said the columns have the same order just the name of the worksheets (for different Teams in the Organisation) are different.
In Addition to this I have to merge all the worksheets and have them in another sheet which is called 'Übersicht' (Overview). However there is a different column in the sheet and it's between 'Nr.' and 'Thema' columns (which are in A1 and A2 in all the 9 Sheets) and this different column called 'Kategorie' (in A2 in Übersicht-Overwiev sheet). As this column is between These the order is like this 'Nr. (A1), Kategorie (A2) and Thema (A3).....'.So this category column (Kategorie) should be empty except this all the Information should be merged into this sheet. And also when there is a Change or update in any worksheet, the Information in 'Übersicht' (Overview) sheet needs to update by itself. How can I do this?
I hope I explained it well. Thanks a lot in advance!
I wish you merry Christmas and a happy new year!

- To post as a guest, your comment is unpublished.When merging multiple Excel files, how can I get the merge routine to skip the first row on all but the first worksheet (so that only data are in the merged file, not variable names with each new Excel worksheet that gets added to the merged data set)?
- To post as a guest, your comment is unpublished.By the way, I'm using Excel 2016 and here's the code I have, which seems to work correctly:

Next tempWorkSheet
sourceWorkbook.Close
Next i
End Sub - To post as a guest, your comment is unpublished.This code is great. One question.
The team I'm building a workbook for gets data from several external sources, and many of the sheets appear similar and have the same name. This makes it hard to identify the sources of data just by looking at the sheets. However, each workbook will have a different file name.
For example, if I pull in three files: Book1, Book2, Book3, and each of them has two sheets: SheetA, SheetB... After all is said and done, there isn't a clear way to distinguish which sheets came from where, since the sheet names will just be: SheetA, SheetB, SheetA (2), SheetB (2), SheetA (3), SheetB (3).
Instead if they could be renamed to SheetABook1, SheetBBook1, SheetABook2, SheetBBook2, etc. they'd be more identifiable. Is there a way to have the VBA tack on the file name to the existing sheet names?- Update: I have discovered that there is *just* enough variance in column headers such that I can identify which is which, and from there I can rename the sheets based on those properties. It appears that will work for now, but I'd be curious if it's still possible to do what I'd originally thought.

Can this be done? - To post as a guest, your comment is unpublished.thanks for the macro guided for 'Combine multiple workbooks to one workbook with VBA'.
However, i do have an additional cirtumtances.
Let's take your example.
In the folder 'dt kte', there are 4 workbook (book1, book2, book3 & book4)
The macro will merge all worksheet in every single workbook into my excel file.
However, the circumtances i need is:-
in every workbook, there is mutual sheet named 'HIJ'.
what would be the macro if i only want to merge the HIJ worksheet in book1 to book4, into one workbook i want? - To post as a guest, your comment is unpublished.ASSALAM O ALIKUM,
LOT OF THANKS FOR COMBINE WORK SHEET IN MASTER SHEET - To post as a guest, your comment is unpublished.Thank you very much for the script for combining workbooks!
- To post as a guest, your comment is unpublished.The above code works well, but it seems that it doesn't follow any certain order, in my folder, each excel file ( before merging ) has 1 sheet with same name,for exp: book1 contains sheet named A, book2 also contains sheet named A ,....then after merging by VBA, the combined workbook contains sheets named A, A(1), A(2), A(3),...in random order, A(1) actually doesn't belongs to initial book1. So it's hard for me to identify, I can't know each sheet originally belongs to which file. The result I expect is that all sheets will be combine in name order of original separated file
Perhaps i can't explain my point well, if someone has same situation or can understand me, then pls kindly upgrade vba code that can combine sheets in order of alphabet name or ascending number ? - To post as a guest, your comment is unpublished.I'm new to Excel and am struggling to identify what I need to personalise in this code to make it work. Obviously 'path' but is that it? as I'm getting errors on the two 'set copyrng' and 'set dest' row.
None of these worked for me
I finally got this one to work. FYI I am using 2010

Example:
Bad: Path = 'C:UsersdtDesktopdt kte'
Good: Path = 'C:UsersdtDesktopdt kte'- [quote name='RichardHead']Make sure you add a at the end of your path.
Example:
Bad: Path = 'C:UsersdtDesktopdt kte'

- To post as a guest, your comment is unpublished.I am having data for all the 365 days for 14 year in one excel sheet.
Now we want to separate the data year wise (Ex. one excel file for year 2002 in that 12 Sheet ie for 12 month and another excel file for year 2003 in that 12 Sheet ie for 12 month).
We are able to separate month wise data (by using Excel Kutools - Split Data) and it will create excel sheet for each month (ie it will create totally 24 sheets) and then we should Split to Workbook and it will be 24 excel file and again we should combine 12 file for each year. This is taking lot of time.
Now our problem is while splitting the date we want Excel to create Year wise Excel files and in each excel file 12 sheets for 12 months. Can we do this in same time.
Please tell us because we are having lots of data and it is taking lot of time. - To post as a guest, your comment is unpublished.i have 3 excel work book and each work book has 31 sheet. i want to make one work book with 31 sheet . it is necessary that all sheet of work book must be add.
