Hello Jie Jenn, i want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time and creating and uploading this video, YOU ROCK!

Hi Jenn!!!
Is there any way to specify the required columns from the multiple sheets to be selected for the single merge file :)

[didijustcomment]

Thanks so much. My task which would have taken maybe 5 hours to complete has been skimmed down just 1 hour. Cheers!

hey man - thank you so much. great video. one question - if I want to label each section with the file name so i can distinguish what data came from what file - how can i do that please?

Hi great. This is what I’ve been looking for. But How can we overwrite onto an existing open worksheet instead of a new workbook?

Hi Jie Jenn! Thanks for this amazing video. I was trying other codes and was having permission error or nothing was generated. I have one question. In this video you merge excel files by append command. I wish instead to merge my file by adding columns and all my files are in the same folder and share the same first column (Patient_ID). Could you help me please setting up ths code based on the one you already provided?
Thanks in advance,
Carlo

how could I share the python codes by an executable file then my colleagues can reuse it？ They don't know how to code. thanks

@Jie Jenn - Nice video and useful. But one question. How are the headers ignored when you combine all files into one? Because each excel file has a header column. So, in your code, I don't see any line that excludes headers?

[java]

great tutorial, just wondering if it has the function to remove any duplicate rows?

[leonpheonix]

I ran the same code by I can't find the master file??...where should I look for it

[dilkashgazala]

Hi Jenn! Thank you so much for the video but the code is not returning the file number from in increasing order instead it is just returning random file names. Please help me.

[alexk]

what if Im using a web spreadsheet instead of an actual file? do I just replace the path with https://...?

[darkdiamond]

Does it work for "long text"? The column that contains long text in my two Excel files is empty after combining.

[hirengajjar]

[mandyghadigaokar]

ValueError: Excel file format cannot be determined, you must specify an engine manually. getting this while using this code can you help me resolve this issue

[gqn]

I am new to Python, can you run this same code in Python and not Visual Studio Code?

[TapirTot]

How does it know to not add the header again for each file it appends?

[sfcsalman]

What if the every sheet have multiple worksheets and we need every worksheets consolidated in the final file?
