How It Works

1. Naming the Sheets:

   • For the first file, the sheet names will be the original sheet name prefixed with the Excel file name.
   • For subsequent files, new sheets will be named based on the Excel file name, followed by "part" and a counter (e.g., "FileName_part_1").

2. Base Sheet Name:

   • baseSheetName is derived from the filename of the Excel file (excluding the extension). This name is used as a prefix for the new sheet names.

3. Sheet Counter:

   • sheetCounter is used to differentiate between multiple sheets copied from the same Excel file.

Steps to Use the Code

1. Insert the VBA Code:

   • Open the VBA editor in Excel, insert a module, and paste the updated code.

2. Set the Path:

   • Update the Path variable to point to the folder where your Excel files are stored.

3. Run the Macro:

   • Press F5 or go to Run > Run Sub/UserForm to execute the macro.

4. Save the Workbook:

   • After the macro completes, save your workbook. The sheets will be named according to the file they came from.

This will result in the merged workbook having sheets named based on the original Excel file names, allowing you to easily identify the source of each sheet.
