  • Upload additional Excel files incrementally
  • All files will be merged together

Features

Multiple File Upload

  • Maximum 50MB per file
  • All common Excel formats supported

Sheet Preservation

  • All sheets from all files are preserved
  • Original data and formatting maintained
  • Each sheet is renamed to avoid conflicts

How Merging Works

Sheet Combination

  • All sheets from File 1 are added first
  • Then all sheets from File 2, File 3, etc.
  • Sheet order follows file upload order
  • Each sheet maintains its original structure

Sheet Naming Convention

  • Format: FileName_SheetName
  • Example: Sales2024_January, Sales2024_February
  • If name exceeds 31 characters (Excel limit), it will be truncated
  • Alternative format for long names: F1_S1_SheetName

Data Preservation

  • All cell values preserved
  • Formulas maintained as-is
  • Cell formatting retained
  • Sheet structure unchanged

File Size Limits

  • Maximum 50MB per input file
  • No limit on number of files
  • Output file size depends on total data
  • Large files may take longer to process

Tips for Best Results

  1. Organize Before Upload: Upload files in the order you want sheets to appear
  2. Check File Names: Ensure Excel files have descriptive names for clear sheet identification
  3. Review Sheet List: Verify all sheets are listed before merging
  4. Use Descriptive Output Name: Name the merged file clearly (e.g., "Q1_2024_AllReports")
  5. Remove Unnecessary Files: Use the X button to remove files you don't want to merge
  6. Check File Size: Keep individual files under 50MB for optimal performance
  7. Avoid Duplicate Sheet Names: If source files have same sheet names, they'll be differentiated by filename prefix

Troubleshooting

File Not Loading?

  • Check file format (.xlsx, .xls, .xlsm only)
  • Verify file size is under 50MB
  • Ensure file is not corrupted
  • Try re-uploading the file

Merge Taking Too Long?

  • Large files with many sheets take more time
  • Multiple large files increase processing time
  • Browser performance varies by device
  • Wait for process to complete

Sheet Names Look Strange?

  • Long filenames/sheet names are truncated to 31 characters
  • This is an Excel limitation
  • Rename source files to shorter names if needed

Some Sheets Missing?

  • Check if all files loaded successfully
  • Verify sheet count matches expectation
  • Empty sheets are still included
  • Re-upload missing files if needed
