It can be done but you'll need to provide more details. Do original files contain multiple sheets? How do you want to merge, to one sheet or multiple sheets? What are the size of the original data? Are they all the same or different? How do you merge them, vertical or horizontal?

Generally speaking: yes, using xlsread and xlswrite and usual methods for merging data (concatenation, interpolation)...

Hi,

To merge multiple Excel files into a single file using MATLAB, you can utilize functions such as xlsread and xlswrite for basic data handling as Titus suggested.

Kindly refer to the following workarounds to merge excel files in MATLAB:

• Merging Two Excel files using "xlsread" and "xlswrite": The xlsread function reads data from an Excel file, and xlswrite writes data to an Excel file.

Kindly refer to the following sample code snippet to merge two excel files:

data1 = xlsread('file1.xlsx'); % Load data from file 1
data2 = xlsread('file2.xlsx'); % Load data from file 2
data3 = [data1; data2];        % Create data for file 3
xlswrite('file3.xlsx', data3); % Create file 3

• Merging Multiple Excel Files using "readtable" and "writetable":

1. Create an empty table named combinedData to store the concatenated table data.
2. Loop through each Excel file, and use the readtable function to read the spreadsheet data into a table, appending it to combinedData.
3. After the loop, write the combinedData table into a new Excel file using the writetable function.

For more information on the second workaround, please refer to the following MATLAB Answer:

I hope this helps!
