I have 5 folders and each folder consists of around 20 excel sheets.
And these excel sheets contain duplicates within it. It is becoming very hectic to open every file and remove duplicates.
Is there anyother way to remove duplicates from all these files at once ?
All the files contain different set of duplicates and no common columns will be present.
XD I'm really understanding your situation but I think that the solution will be one of two :) :
1-make a program with any programming language you can use and try to load the files one by one to do what you want
2-(the easiest one)Try to find a good converter to convert all your files to SQL tables then come here to this site and ask how to delete duplicated rows from different SQL tables after doing that reconvert the SQL tables to EXCEL files again and it will be done (y) ;)

I am working on several Excel files on SharePoint, and each one of them should be a separate input file (there will be many people working on it), Only one column should remain constant across all of them, and it is updated in a separate Master Excel file, but the others should be mirrored.
(So the data we have in that column will be split into the different other files depending on the subject)
If I am going to use a power query, I risk losing some rows from the other columns,
When I tried to mirror them through SharePoint, the link was sometimes inconsistent.
I have a very large excel file (7gb) from an external source. It is too large to open. It only contains one worksheet and about 1 million rows and 100 columns. Normally, I could use PowerPivot to do data analysis with the file as a data source.
However, I have to go in to the spreadsheet and add one column for longitude, one column for latitude, and then an equation to convert the address to a latitude and longitude. Therefore, I somehow have to break apart this excel file into many smaller excel files (i.e. 20 files of 50,000 rows each).
Does anyone know how to do this?
I had the same problem aswell. My solution was to go to splitmyexcelfile.com and from there you can choose how much files you want and how much rows you want in each file. I hope this solves your problem for the I somehow have to break apart this excel file into many smaller excel files part of your question.
So you have two directories ../main/sub1 and ../main/sub2
The main excel file is in main and I want to get information from all the excel files in sub1 and in sub2, but I do not know the names of these files, would it be possible to make a formula that would basically do this a1+a2 for every file and combine them all together in one cell?
Sorry of my explanation is poor. Also anyone have any good resources for learning excel and multiple files, thanks.

I am trying to set up a query that will simply combine data from CSVs into a table as new files get added to a specific folder, where each row contains the data from a separate file. While doing tests with CSVs that I created in excel, this was very simple. After expanding the content column, I would see an individual row of data for each file.
In practice however, where I am trying to use CSVs that are put out from a proprietary android app, expanding the content column leads to 1 single row, with data from all files placed end to end.
Does this have something to do with there not being and "end of line" character in the CSVs the app is producing? If so, is there an easy way to remedy this without changing the app? If not, is there something simple and direct I can ask the developer to change which would prevent this behavior?
Thanks for any insight!
I am trying to remove multiple special characters in a CSV file that I am copying into a created table in Postgresql. I have about 4CSV files like this, with 100,000 rows and 10 columns. I am getting errors every few 50-100 rows and I don't know what all the special characters are, as this is a large data set. Is there anyway I can just delete these or create something in excel/csv to delete these? I am afraid that I will be deleting important data
What would be best code?
Thanks!
