How many different Excel files do you open on a single day? Do you need to merge Excel files and combine data from multiple spreadsheets?\u00a0 If you\u2019re an analyst or administrator who collects information from across the company, chances are you spend a fair amount of time gathering and combining data from multiple files.<\/p>\n
Excel has powerful data storage and management capabilities. One workbook alone can hold millions of cells and hundreds of sheets, limited only by your computer\u2019s memory. And if you upload your Excel files to OneDrive<\/a>, you can use Excel for the web’s\u00a0co-authoring function<\/a>\u00a0to share files and collaborate with colleagues.<\/p>\n But when you want to combine multiple Excel sheet<\/strong>s<\/em><\/strong> or merge multiple files into one<\/strong>, there is no simple inbuilt solution.<\/p>\n If you’re preparing a report, it’s time-consuming to search for the right information and compile a new spreadsheet manually. You might have to ask colleagues to send you their latest file versions before copy-pasting data from multiple sheets.<\/p>\n Not only is that tedious, but it’s also easy to make mistakes. And by the time you’ve finished, the data might already be out of date.<\/p>\n Instead of combining Excel sheets manually, you can create connections between your spreadsheets. This allows you to merge multiple files into one automatically. The connections will pull data from several sheets into a central master sheet. Once you’ve set up the system, you can generate new reports on demand.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_video src=”https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=RBBbYh2PvvQ” _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”15px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_video][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”3_5,2_5″ use_custom_gutter=”on” make_equal=”on” _builder_version=”4.24.1″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#d3e3ff” custom_margin=”40px||40px||true|false” custom_padding=”30px|30px|30px|30px|true|true” border_radii=”on|12px|12px|12px|12px” global_module=”44972″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” positioning=”none” vertical_offset=”-44px” custom_css_main_element=”margin:auto;” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.24.1″ _module_preset=”default” header_font_size=”33px” header_4_text_color=”#071623″ header_4_font_size=”24px” header_4_line_height=”1.4em” background_color=”RGBA(255,255,255,0)” custom_margin=”0px|0px|0px|0px|true|true” custom_padding=”0px|0px|0px|0px|true|true” text_font_size_tablet=”17px” text_font_size_phone=”17px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_4_font_tablet=”” header_4_font_phone=”” header_4_font_last_edited=”on|tablet” text_orientation_tablet=”center” text_orientation_phone=”center” text_orientation_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” custom_css_main_element=”margin:auto;” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/app.sheetgo.com\/” url_new_window=”on” button_text=”START NOW” button_alignment=”center” _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _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=”0px|0px|0px|0px|true|true” custom_margin_tablet=”10px||||false|false” custom_margin_phone=”10px||||false|false” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|phone” custom_padding=”15px|20px|15px|20px|true|true” global_colors_info=”{}” button_bg_color__hover_enabled=”on|hover” button_bg_color__hover=”rgba(41,121,255,0.7)” button_bg_enable_color__hover=”on” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n By connecting your Excel files, you can sync data between them.
