Dropbox allows you to share spreadsheet files with colleagues and clients instantly \u2014 and access them from anywhere. And once your files are stored in the cloud, you can simplify and streamline your work even more. Did you know you can connect Excel files stored in Dropbox and send data between them automatically? Instead of copy-pasting data manually, use Sheetgo to create an automated workflow to push and pull data between different Excel and CSV files. If you do a lot of work in spreadsheets, you’ll know that one of the most time-consuming and common tasks is gathering, collating and combining data for reports. This usually involves searching through multiple files to extract data and sumarize it in another sheet. Once your files are in cloud storage, you can actually create a consolidate connection to merge Dropbox Excel files into one single spreadsheet.<\/p>\n

Use Sheetgo to combine data from multiple Excel or CSV files into one master sheet. You get up-to-date, consolidated data in the master spreadsheet while your source files remain untouched.<\/p>\n
Follow the steps below to merge Excel files into one master spreadsheet in Dropbox with Sheetgo.<\/p>\n

Once inside the web application, you can connect any Excel or CSV file stored in your Dropbox to another file, and you can also connect to files stored in Google Drive.<\/p>\n
To create a connection between Dropbox files, click\u00a0Connect<\/strong>. Select\u00a0<\/span>Multiple files<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>as your source data. This will allow you to consolidate (or merge) data from multiple Excel, CSV, or TSV files stored in Dropbox. Please note you cannot consolidate data from Google Sheets files stored in Dropbox\u00a0\u2014 but that\u2019s easy to do if you have a Google Drive account.<\/p>\n Click\u00a0<\/span>Select files<\/strong>. Sheetgo opens on the right-hand side and here you can select Excel files straight from Dropbox.<\/p>\n After you have selected each file, make sure you select the correct\u00a0source tab (worksheet).\u00a0<\/strong>Sheetgo pulls data from individual tabs, so if you have a large workbook, make sure your source data is coming from the right worksheet.<\/p>\n In this example, we will select 3 Excel files to merge into a master workbook: Sales Region A, Sales Region B, and Sales Region C.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/static.sheetgo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Merge-Dropbox-Excel-files-Sheetgo.png” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.22.2″ width=”100%” min_height_tablet=”” min_height_phone=”” min_height_last_edited=”on|phone” height_tablet=”” height_phone=”” height_last_edited=”on|tablet” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”2_5,3_5″ custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” background_image=”https:\/\/static.sheetgo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/background-connection-all-left.png” custom_margin=”30px||30px||true|false” custom_padding=”30px|30px|30px|30px|true|true” custom_padding_tablet=”20px||||false|true” custom_padding_phone=”30px||||false|true” background_color_phone=”#f6f8f9″ background_last_edited=”on|tablet” background_enable_color_phone=”on” background_enable_image_phone=”off” background_size_tablet=”cover” border_radii=”on|12px|12px|12px|12px” global_module=”44981″ saved_tabs=”all” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding_tablet=”|||200px|false|false” custom_padding_phone=”|||0px|false|false” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” text_orientation_tablet=”right” text_orientation_phone=”center” text_orientation_last_edited=”on|tablet” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/www.sheetgo.com\/” url_new_window=”on” button_text=”START NOW” button_alignment=”left” button_alignment_tablet=”right” button_alignment_phone=”center” button_alignment_last_edited=”on|phone” _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” custom_button=”on” button_text_size=”16px” button_text_color=”#ffffff” button_bg_color=”#2979ff” button_border_width=”0px” button_border_radius=”6px” button_font=”|700|||||||” button_use_icon=”off” custom_margin=”20px||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”15px|20px|15px|20px|true|true” global_colors_info=”{}” button_bg_color__hover=”rgba(41,121,255,0.7)” button_bg_color__hover_enabled=”on|hover”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Click\u00a0Continue<\/strong> to go to the next step and select where you want to send the data to.
