how to merge multiple excel files into one using python code example

Example 1: python combine multiple excel files

import os
import pandas as pd
cwd = os.path.abspath('') 
files = os.listdir(cwd)  

## Method 1 gets the first sheet of a given file
df = pd.DataFrame()
for file in files:
    if file.endswith('.xlsx'):
        df = df.append(pd.read_excel(file), ignore_index=True) 
df.head() 
df.to_excel('total_sales.xlsx')



## Method 2 gets all sheets of a given file
df_total = pd.DataFrame()
for file in files:                         # loop through Excel files
    if file.endswith('.xlsx'):
        excel_file = pd.ExcelFile(file)
        sheets = excel_file.sheet_names
        for sheet in sheets:               # loop through sheets inside an Excel file
            df = excel_file.parse(sheet_name = sheet)
            df_total = df_total.append(df)
df_total.to_excel('combined_file.xlsx')

Example 2: merge multiple excel files with multiple worksheets into a single dataframe

import glob

all_data = pd.DataFrame()
path = 'd:/projects/chassis/data/*.xlsx'
for f in glob.glob(path):
    df = pd.read_excel(f, sheet_name=None, ignore_index=True, skiprows=6, usecols=8)
    cdf = pd.concat(df.values())
    all_data = all_data.append(cdf,ignore_index=True)
print(all_data)
