Combining Excel Files
 
My supervisor wants me to combine many Excel files into one Excel file. These
files have different column headings. How do I combine these files into one
file?

Please help. I have a seriously tight deadline and haven't a clue how to
perform this task. Thank you for your consideration.

Combining Excel Files
 
Make sure that every row contains a header for the information that you want
in the combined row and start cutting and pasting. Not a job for the faint of
heart. Always cut and paste or it will screw up your formulas.

Or you could set it up for a down and dirty database, link everything into
Access and then export a single new file. Hopefully it will export the
correct formulas, unlinked to the other sheets.

Another way would be to save blank spreadsheets to the server in a hidden
location and make sheet1A1 equal to old workbook 1.xls and drag the corner
forever, do the same with sheet 2 and three.

Just depends on what your trying to accomplish.


God Bless
