How Do I Merge Excel files into One?

[sophiabennett]

If you try doing it manually, you'll usually end up opening each file and copy-pasting data into a single workbook. That works for a few files, but the moment you're dealing with dozens or hundreds, it becomes slow, messy, and prone to errors. Some people use VBA scripts, but again, it needs coding skills and can break if the data structure changes.

A much easier approach is using a dedicated tool like SysTools Excel Merge Tool . It automates the entire process and lets you:

• Merge multiple Excel workbooks or worksheets in one go
• Choose whether you want data combined into a single sheet or separate sheets
• Keep the original formatting, formulas, and structure intact
• Handle large-size files without Excel freezing or crashing

In short, if you're merging 2–3 small files, manual methods are fine. But if you need speed, accuracy, and reliability, a professional tool like SysTools Excel Merge Tool is the better choice.
