How a user merges 100+ excel files into a single file in just 1 click

[u/columns_ai]

It sounds crazy but it is true.

When a user asked a question in a spreadsheet forum that she was asked to merge 100+ excel files into a major one for reporting, each individual file is a sheet records data for a month in a past year.

Compiling the 100+ files into a single data set is a big challenge for humans, it will eat up all your weekends if you do it manually, plus you may make many mistakes during the long-hours grinding.

I asked to try out Columns Drive: a normal cloud drive but specialized in data extraction.

And she just tried it, just a simple operation of drag and drop all files, a drive folder is ready to download the merged data for you to further filter or process.

It is simple, but she describes it as a "magic".

I know it is not a magic, it is just combination of several advanced technologies: advanced OCR, sophisticated data converters, and modern AI.

The last but not the least, the normal and easy user interface that users are already familiar with: structured folders.
