Welcome to the Spreadsheet Merger Knowledge Base – your one‑stop resource

Welcome to the Spreadsheet Merger Knowledge Base – your one‑stop resource for mastering the art of consolidating multiple workbook files into a single, well‑organised spreadsheet. Whether you’re a data analyst juggling quarterly reports, a finance professional merging monthly statements, or a project manager combining task lists from various teams, this guide will walk you through every step of the process. You’ll discover how to seamlessly import source files, preserve the integrity of each sheet, resolve naming conflicts, and customise the final output to match your organisation’s standards. By following the best‑practice tips and troubleshooting advice provided here, you’ll save countless hours that would otherwise be spent on manual copy‑pasting, and you’ll minimise the risk of data loss or formatting errors that often creep in during ad‑hoc merges.

Supported Input Formats

The tool accepts a wide range of Excel file types so you can work with legacy and modern workbooks alike: Xlsx, Xlsb, Xlsm, Xltm, Xlam and Excel97To2003. This flexibility means you can pull in files generated by older versions of Excel, macro‑enabled workbooks, template files, and even binary workbooks without needing to pre‑convert them.

Supported Output Formats

After the merge, you can export the combined file in any format that retains multiple worksheets, giving you the freedom to choose the most suitable option for downstream processing or sharing: Xlsx, Xlsb, Xlsm, Xltm, Xlam, Excel97To2003, Excel95, SpreadsheetML, Xlt, Html or MHtml. Whether your colleagues need a traditional Excel file, an XML‑based SpreadsheetML for programme‑matic consumption, or a web‑friendly HTML version, the Merger has you covered.

How to Get Started

1. Navigate to the Upload Files section of the interface.
2. Drag‑and‑drop all the source workbooks, or use the Browse button to select them.
3. Choose the desired output format from the dropdown menu.

The system will automatically detect sheet names, flag duplicates and offer options to rename or overwrite them. You can also specify a destination folder within the merged file, apply optional data transformations (such as trimming whitespace or normalising date formats), and preview the final workbook before committing the merge. When you’re happy with the preview, click Merge and download the consolidated file instantly.

Tips & Tricks

• Macro‑enabled workbooks – If you’re merging Xlsm or Xlam files, make sure the chosen output format also supports macros so functionality is retained.
• Maximum compatibility – For very old versions of Excel, opt for Excel97To2003 or Excel95 as the output format.
• Exporting to the web – When exporting to HTML or MHTML, remember that only the visual layout of sheets is kept; formulas are converted to their displayed values.
