How to Merge Money Accounts in a Spreadsheet

If you are using multiple money management spreadsheets and would like to merge them into one, you may do so using the spreadsheet software. Very often, spreadsheet users create different documents to manage and track different accounts. But this requires updating each individually and balancing each spreadsheet on a regular basis to ensure the inputted information is accurate. Merging different spreadsheets requires the user to follow a few simple instructions.

Instructions

1. Check each money account spreadsheet to ensure that they are accurate and up-to-date. Open each money account and review the transaction history. Check the balance for accuracy. Save any changes and close the money accounts.

2. Open your spreadsheet software. Locate and click on the "Tools" or "Options" tab on the main menu bar. Scroll down and select "Merge" or Import".

3. Choose the file path of the first money account spreadsheet, then click "Okay". Repeat as needed for multiple accounts.

4. View your merged documents as one in the new spreadsheet. Review each transaction, as well as dates and amounts. Save the new spreadsheet under a different name than that of the other money management spreadsheets.
