Combine Multiple Workbooks into a Single Workbook

Sometimes, you need to combine workbooks with various content like images, charts and data into a single workbook. Aspose.Cells supports this feature. This article shows how to create a console application in Visual Studio and combine workbooks with a few, simple lines of code using Aspose.Cells.

Combining Workbooks with Images and Charts

The example code combines two workbooks into a single workbook using Aspose.Cells. The code loads the source workbooks, uses the Workbook.combine() method to combine them and saves the output workbook.

Source Workbooks

• charts.xlsx
• picture.xlsx

Output Workbooks

• combined.xlsx

Screenshots

Below are screenshots of the source and output workbooks.

You can use any source workbooks. These images are just for illustration purposes.

// For complete examples and data files, please go to https://github.com/aspose-cells/Aspose.Cells-for-.NET
// The path to the documents directory.
string dataDir = RunExamples.GetDataDir(System.Reflection.MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().DeclaringType);

// Define the first source
// Open the first excel file.
Workbook SourceBook1 = new Workbook(dataDir+ "SampleChart.xlsx");

// Define the second source book.
// Open the second excel file.
Workbook SourceBook2 = new Workbook(dataDir+ "SampleImage.xlsx");

// Combining the two workbooks
SourceBook1.Combine(SourceBook2);

dataDir = dataDir + "Combined.out.xlsx";
// Save the target book file.
SourceBook1.Save(dataDir);
