Combining Excel Files

Hello,

 

I have 22 excel worksheets that each have one sheet. I want to move them all to one singular excel workbook just with 22 sheets instead. Then after they are all on the same workbook I want to create another sheet that pulls the first and second column of every sheet and in addition, some random columns depending on what sheet I need more information on. Thanks!

I have the same question (0)

    Honestly, while you did put in the effort to deserve a thumbs up, I won't do that mainly because you should not provide end to end solutions to people who just come here and describe what they want to do, but do not actually even try doing it themselves. This is a community for helping people who struggle with the tool. It's not a site to get solutions delivered for free.
