Combining excel files in a single file

2 views (last 30 days)
Hey,
I have several files by the name try_1, try_2,.....try_1000.xlsx (which all have a column vector stored in it)
How can I combine them in a single xlsx file (that will have a matrix containing 1000 columns of all those files)?
Any help in this regard will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

You could do something like that (not tested):
nRows = .. you define it.
nCols = 1000 ;
buffer = zeros(nRows, nCols) ;
for ii = 1 : 1000
buffer(:,ii) = xlsread(sprintf('try_%d.xlsx', ii)) ;
end
xlswrite('allTries.xlsx', buffer) ;

list=dir([pwd,'/try_*.xlsx']);
for i=1:length(list);
A(:,i)=xlsread(list(i).name);
end
xlswrite('TRYS.xlsx',A)
Both excel files and this code must be in the same folder to work. You can also more generic, ie Excel files can be in any folder, and for that you use the command uigetdir ()
Tanto los archivos excel y este código deben de estar en una misma carpeta para funcione. También puede hacer mas genérico, es decir los archivos Excel pueden estar en cualquier carpeta, y para eso se usa el comando uigetdir()
