Hello,  So understand this in easy language.

Alteryx acts like a superhero, which helps to combine data from different Excel sheets into one. Here are some steps which we are following. 

--> Open Alteryx
--> Then, drag an "Input Dat" tool onto your workspace. 
--> Add Excel files where your data is stored. 

--> Use of the "Union" tools, which helps to merge everything.
--> After this connect the input tool to the Union tools. ( This helps Alteryx to know where to get the data from)
--> Click on the Union tool and make sure everything matches up. ( So Alteryx knows how to combine the data)
--> Then, you bring in an "Output Dat " tool. ( Which is to tell Alteryx, where to put the combined data)
--> Click on the Output tool and choose where you want to save your combined or new Excel file.
