How To Merge Excel Spreadsheets?

Microsoft Excel may be challenging at times because it's so powerful. You know that it is possible to do what you want, but you might not know how to complete it. In this article, we'll show you the simplest technique you can use to merge Excel spreadsheets.

Follow the guidelines given below to move and copy sheets with the most straightforward method:

1.     Open both of the Excel Workbooks.

2.     Switch to the Workbook you want to copy some sheets from.

3.     Now you need to hold Control button (or Command button on Mac) on your keyboard.

4.     Then you will need to copy all of the sheets that you want to copy to a separate workbook. It might highlight the tabs as you do this.

5.     Now you have to choose Move or Copy by tapping right click.

6.     Select the workbook that you wish to move the sheets to.

7.     Then you will have to choose the name of the file from To Book drop-down on the Move or Copy pop up window.

8.     Also, you can choose where the files should be placed. The Before sheet menu tend to control where sequentially in the workbook the sheets will be inserted. You are always free to choose and re-sequence the order of sheets.

9.     You can check the box to create a copy if you want that will duplicate the sheets and create a particular copy of them in the workbook you use to move the sheets.

10.  Tap on the OK button, and you will find that the sheets you copied are in the combined workbook.

11.  This approach also has a few drawbacks. If you have been working with two separate files and they are not "in sync." If you make changes to the original workbook from which you copied the sheets, they are not going to update in the combined workbook automatically.
