Struggling to Merge Excel Sheets into One File? Here's a Simple Step-by-Step Guide

Steps to Merge Sheets from Multiple Excel Files into One .xls File

To merge sheets from multiple Excel files into one .xls file, you can follow these steps:

1. Open the Excel files that contain the sheets you want to merge.
2. Go to the workbook where you want to merge the sheets.
3. Select the sheet where you want to import the data.
4. Go to the "Data" tab on the Excel ribbon.
5. Click on "Get Data" or "Get External Data," depending on your Excel version.
6. Choose "From File" and then "From Workbook."
7. Browse to locate the Excel files you want to merge.
8. Select the sheets you want to import into the current workbook.
9. Click "Load" or "Import" to merge the selected sheets into the current workbook.
10. Save the workbook as a .xls file once the merging is complete.

By following these steps, you can easily merge sheets from multiple Excel files into one .xls file.

First, open a blank workbook (let's suppose the name is TEMP). Then, open the Excel file whose sheet you want to merge into one file (let's suppose the name is XYZ). From the bottom of the workbook, select the sheet you want to merge (let's suppose the name is SHEET1). Right-click on the sheet name and select the option "MOVE OR COPY." A new window will appear. From the "To Book" option, select the workbook in which you want to merge (i.e., TEMP), then tick the "Create a copy" option. Click OK.

Repeat this exercise for all the sheets.

Dear Sir, you mentioned consolidating different Excel sheets into one workbook. My query is, how can we merge the data from various Excel sheets into one Excel sheet?

Example of Merging Salary Sheets

For example, let's say there are two salary sheets for the months of Jan'14 and Feb'14 in separate Excel files. How can we combine the data from these two sheets into a single Excel file, where the Feb'14 salary sheet appears below the Jan'14 salary sheet?
