Merge Excel Files using Python

This article describes how to merge Excel files using Python. It has IDE settings, a list of instructions, and a sample code to join Excel files using Python. You will learn the techniques to control the loading of the input Excel files, along with filtering the sheet based on various parameters.

Steps to Combine Multiple Excel Files using Python

  1. Establish the environment to use Aspose.Cells for Python via .NET to merge Excel files
  2. Import the required modules and classes from the library and load the license
  3. Create a list of Excel files you want to combine into a single file
  4. Load the first file into the Workbook object as the destination file, where other files will be merged
  5. Parse through the remaining list of files and merge them into the first file using the Combine method
  6. Save the first file as an output file on the disk by setting a new file name

These steps define the process to combine Excel files using Python. Import the necessary modules, load the license, create a list of the input Excel file, and load the first Excel file as a destination file using the Workbook class object. Finally, iterate through the rest of the Excel files, call the Combine method for each file to join I to the first Excel file, and save the first Excel file as an output file containing all the Excel files in it.

Code to Combine Excel Documents using Python

The above code demonstrates how to merge XLSX files using Python. The simplest process to combine two files is to load the first file into the Workbook class object and pass the second file as an argument to the Combine method invoked from the first file. You may use the LoadOptions class that contains the LoadFilter property to set criteria for the desired sheets to be included in the loaded file for merging to another destination Excel file.
