How to Import an Excel Spreadsheet to a Workbook

Microsoft Office Excel is an application that allows users to create spreadsheets that feature graphics and pivot tables, and it supports advanced calculations. Excel also features built-in support for automating repetitive tasks in the form of macros. One of Excel's most useful features is the ability to import worksheets from other workbooks into a spreadsheet. This allows users to save disk space by consolidating data and saves them time by more efficiently grouping their workbooks.

Instructions

1. Start "Excel" and open the workbook that you want to import into.

2. Click "Edit" and then click "Import."

3. Click "Browse" to locate the workbook that contains the spreadsheet.

4. Double-click the workbook, and then select the spreadsheet from the list that appears.

5. Click "Entire Sheet."

Tips & Warnings

• If you would like the imported spreadsheet to start at a certain cell, click that cell before the import process begins.

• If the spreadsheet is not part of a workbook, double-click its name in the "Look In" box.
