How do you consolidate multiple excel files with Mac Automator?
Well, I am not sure how to start. Can you give me a brief overview of the process?
Sure! First, you will need to create a new workflow in Automator, select "Get Specified Finder Items," and add all the Excel files you want to consolidate. Then, add the "Open Finder Items" action and select the application "Microsoft Excel." Configure Excel to open all the files in the same window by going to the Excel menu bar and selecting "Preferences" > "General" >"Ignore other applications that use Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE)". Next, you will need to add the "Combine Excel Spreadsheets" action, and configure it to merge all of the Excel files into one. Finally, save the workflow and run it to consolidate your Excel files.
