How to merge Excel sheets and remove duplicates

  1. 1

    Drop all the Excel or CSV files onto the box — monthly exports, branch lists, sign-up sheets.

  2. 2

    Tick First row is a header and Remove duplicate rows.

  3. 3

    Press 🔀 Merge spreadsheets. Everything runs inside your browser — nothing is uploaded.

  4. 4

    Press ⬇️ Download Excel — one sheet, duplicates gone, columns aligned by name.

💡 Tip: A row counts as a duplicate only when every column matches; tidy stray spaces first for the best result.

How the merge works

Each file's first row is read as its header. Columns with the same header name are stacked into one column; a column that exists in only some files is kept and left blank for the rest. That means your files do not need identical layouts — Email in one file and Email in another line up even if one has an extra Phone column. Header matching is case-insensitive and ignores surrounding spaces.

What counts as a duplicate

With Remove duplicate rows on, a row is dropped when every one of its cells matches a row already kept, comparing text case-insensitively. So asha@x.com and Asha@X.com are the same; Asha Rao and Asha Rao (two spaces) are not — trim your data first if that matters. The first occurrence is kept, so put the file you trust most first.

Typical jobs

  • Customer lists from several sources — website signups, event sheet, WhatsApp exports — into one deduplicated list.
  • Monthly reports exported as separate files, combined into a year for a pivot table.
  • Survey responses collected by different volunteers in the same template.
  • Inventory counts from several branches with the same column layout.

Why not just copy-paste in Excel?

Copy-paste breaks when columns are in different orders, and Excel's Remove Duplicates is a separate step people forget. This does both in one pass, and it does them in your browser, so a client list never sits on a third-party server.

Frequently asked questions

Does it read .xlsx directly?

Yes — Excel, CSV and TSV files can be mixed in one merge. Only the first sheet of each workbook is used.

Are formulas kept?

No. Values are merged; formulas are not carried across. Export to XLSX and add formulas in the merged file.

Is there a row limit?

None built in. Files with a few hundred thousand rows merge in seconds on a normal laptop.

Can I choose which columns count for duplicates?

Not yet — a row must match on every column. Delete columns you do not want compared before merging.
