About This Feature
Overview
Merge Workbooks is a spreadsheet feature in WPS Office for Android that combines multiple separate spreadsheet files into a single workbook for centralized review, summary work, and follow-up analysis.
Core tasks include:
- Start Merge Workbooks from the All Services entry for quick access from the main tools list.
- Start Merge Workbooks from the More Output & Conversion entry when working from output and conversion tools.
- Select cloud or local spreadsheet files for the merge process.
- Start the merge and review the generated result workbook.
This feature is useful for monthly report collection, team spreadsheet consolidation, and temporary data summary work on mobile devices. After the merge, it is helpful to review formulas, pivot tables, and chart reference ranges to confirm the result matches your needs.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | On Android, WPS lets you open Merge Workbooks from the spreadsheet menu, choose multiple cloud or local spreadsheet files, and start the merge in one workflow. | Excel provides Consolidate to summarize data from multiple worksheets or workbooks into a master worksheet, with position-based or category-based consolidation. | Google Sheets supports combining data across spreadsheets with IMPORTRANGE, which imports a selected range from one spreadsheet into another. | Notion supports importing CSV, XLSX, and XLS files into databases, focusing on import and restructuring rather than direct workbook merging on mobile. | Acrobat combines multiple files into one PDF, which is useful for document packaging and sharing rather than editable workbook merging. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS provides a direct Android workflow for merging workbook files and supports both cloud and local file selection in the same process. | Compared with WPS: Excel focuses more on worksheet consolidation and summary functions, while the Android workbook-merging path is less centered on a mobile merge flow. | Compared with WPS: Google Sheets is more suited to syncing ranges with a function than selecting multiple workbook files for a one-time merge on Android. | Compared with WPS: Notion is better suited to importing spreadsheet data into databases, not preserving a workbook-oriented merge workflow on mobile. | Compared with WPS: Acrobat is designed for combining files into PDF output, so it does not replace an editable spreadsheet workbook merge workflow. |

Overall Conclusion
If you want to combine multiple spreadsheet files directly on an Android device, WPS offers a workflow that is closely aligned with mobile spreadsheet handling. Other products provide consolidation, import, or file-combination features, but their primary use cases are not the same as merging editable workbooks on Android.
