Default Merging data from several Excel 2010 spreadhseets

OK, here's the situation...

I've got a membership database which has been exported from an Access
Database into a number of different Excel spreadsheets. And of course I
don't have the original! It's split into about 10 spreadsheets and I need
to create a single one by merging the data from the various sources.

All the spreadsheets start with "Membership number" in column 1, then
different data. The spreadsheets don't necessarily contain data for every
membership number, and in some cases there are multiple entries for the same
membership number. There are about 4000+ membership accounts, otherwise I'd
just spend a while on the copy/paste buttons.

Is there a way I can set up some sort of merge which will carry the various
elements of data into the primary spreadsheet with all the data for each
membership number spread across the cells on a single line?

Thanks in advance.
