I have five EXCEL 2003 workbooks containing columns of names, addresses,
phone numbers, and other columns. Each workbook is formatted the same. I
want to combine these five files into one workbook that includes all of the
information in the five separate files. I searched for EXCEL help on-line
(€œcombine workbooks€�) but the solutions seem complicated.

What is the easiest way to combine these five EXCEL files into one big file
that includes all of their data? I will appreciate advice.

You can use "Move or Copy Worksheet" (from edit menu, or right-clicking on
the worksheet tab) if you want to produce one workbook including 5
worksheets.

If you want one sheet including all the data, you can copy & paste.
