In this article, we’re going to learn how to increase the efficiency of a common file merging workflow with the help of a web API solution. Specifically, we are going to learn how to merge Excel XLSX files – one of the most common document types we can expect to work within a file-processing automation environment.
Context for Programmatic XLSX File Merging
If we’re writing code to solve problems related to file processing efficiency and automation, there’s a good chance we’re creating and/or expanding applications that deal with large volumes of Excel files. We may, for example, find that there’s no automated workflow currently in place (or, perhaps, an inefficient one) to combine the various unique Excel reports created by each individual department in our organization.
