In Excel you often need to combine multiple excel sheets into one. For example, you might have monthly sales tabs that you need to merge into one large sheet, or multiple excel files that you need to consolidate into a master file. Yet 90% of Excel users don't know how to do it. That's why in this video I'm going to show you a simple, automated solution to this problem using Power Query that will save you hours of tedius work. You might think of copy pasting as a solution, but this doesn't update if the original dataset changes. Same thing goes for the vstack formula. Instead, using Power Query, we'll be able to do this in no time.

You are working in this example with sheets and files, my source is on the web. I have tried to merge them, but it didn't work out the way I wanted. Would this also work for 2 files from the web? Thank you again and hope to hear from you. Kind regards, Sam

    These days almost all files in a professional setting are stored on shared (Sharepoint)drives. This makes it significantly harder to do this. It took me a while to figure out. It would be amazing if these type of videos touch on that or show that. But thanks a lot for the video many will benefit from this!

    Hi Kenji, to merge the excel sheets into one, should all the sheets have the same number columns? And should the columns be arranged in the same order?

  • @worldofdata

    @worldofdata

    3 ай бұрын

    Order is not required and if there are more column, power query will add unique columns and show relevant data in each col. For instance, if one sheet contains sales person and other dont, the merged data will show sales person col with null of the sheet where there is no column and show data for sheet where data is available. hope it answers your question

    In PowerQuery you can click on the header of any columns you want to exclude from the resulting table and click on “‘Remove Columns”. PowerQuery has a lot more to offer in regard to cleaning and consolidating data. Try it! Look at the ribbon and the context menus for columns, lines and other objects, click or right click respectively and play around while watching the table showing for the effect of what you’re doing. This hands-on approach will reveal many of the basic functionality.

    Hi, my name is Kamran and I am based in Dubai. I am watching your videos and impressed with your excel skills. I was wondering if you can help me with one formula to automatically calculates cost of shares sold on First-in-First-out basis. I regularly trade in stock market so volume of transaction is quite large. Hence, it is not possible to manually check cost of each share. Hence, I am looking to automate my file, however, I am not able to arrive at cost of shares sold. I took help from AI tools, watched youtube videos etc but remained unsuccessful. Problem comes if I make a split purchase and a split sale i.e. first buy quantity of any share on different dates and then sell the quantity in small chunks on later dates. I would be grateful if you have or you can suggest any solution for this. KR

    @@AbrahamPanicker_AB Sincere thanks for your reply. I am looking for calculation either in Excel or Query that can calculate cost of shares sold on earliest purchase basis. For example i purchase 500 shares on 1st Apr and 500 shares on 2nd April. Now: if i sell all 1000 shares on 3rd April, formula should add the cost of both earlier purchase. If i sell 500 on 3rd and 500 on 4th, formula should first pick cost from 1st Apr and then 2nd Apr. But If i sell only 700 shares on 3rd Apr, formula should first pick cost of 500 shares from first purchase, then proportion cost of 200 shares from 2nd purchase. The remaining 300 unsold appear as closing quantity with proportionate cost of 200 shares from the 2nd purchase.
