Import multiple excel sheets as separate columns

I am a bit stuck with a pretty basic problem.

 

I have multiple sheets in an Excel file and want to import all, but want to add the data from each sheet as a new column. Each sheet has the same first column.

 

Example:

Sheet: October

KeyValue
1A
2B
3C
4D

 

Sheet: November

KeyValue
1E
2F
3G
4H

 

Goal:

KeyOctoberNovember
1AE
2BF
3CG
4DH

 

I am looking for some scalable method because my workbook has 50-60 sheets.

Hi @choksijugal 

 

This is how I would do it

Thanks a lot @joshuaburkhow! I realized there is a slight complication because of which it did not run on my data - the second column contains the headers. Is there a fix you can suggest I can apply for that?

 

To provide a better idea, the key column is the second column and the value column is the third in my data. I could delete the first column from every sheet and your solution would work but that is painfully difficult

Sorry @choksijugal I am not following. Are you able to post an example?
