    It looks like you are trying to write all rows from all sheets from all input files into one sheet in one output file. The reason you are overwriting data is that you don't increase the row counter between sheets. You need to create a row_count variable outside of all your foreach loops. Then you need to increment it after each write. Maybe something like this UNTESTED:
    use Spreadsheet::XLSX; use Excel::Writer::XLSX; (@file_list) = glob "*xlsx"; my $workbook = Excel::Writer::XLSX->new('Target.xlsx'); $worksheet = $workbook->add_worksheet(); my $row_count = 0; foreach my $setoffiles (@file_list) { my $excel = Spreadsheet::XLSX->new("$setoffiles"); foreach my $sheet ( @{ $excel->{Worksheet} } ) { $sheet->{MaxRow} ||= $sheet->{MinRow}; $sheet->{MaxCol} ||= $sheet->{MinCol}; foreach my $row ( $sheet->{MinRow} .. $sheet->{MaxRow} ) { foreach my $col ( $sheet->{MinCol} .. $sheet->{MaxCol} ) { my $cell = $sheet->{Cells}[$row][$col]; if ($cell) { $worksheet->write( $row_count, $col, $cell->{Val} +); $row_count++; } } } } }
      no luck and the output is abnormal.
        different .xlsx to one .xlsx

        If you want the Target.xlsx workbook to have a worksheet for each of the different workbooks/worksheets try this

        #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use Spreadsheet::XLSX; use Excel::Writer::XLSX; my $target = 'Target.xlsx'; my @file_list = glob "*xlsx"; my $workbook = Excel::Writer::XLSX->new( $target ) or die "Could not create $target : $!"; for my $file (@file_list){ next if ($file eq $target); print "Scaning $file\n"; my $excel = Spreadsheet::XLSX->new($file); for my $sheet (@{$excel->{Worksheet}}) { my $name = $file ."_".$sheet->{Name}; my $worksheet = $workbook->add_worksheet( $name ); print "Copying $name\n"; $sheet->{MaxRow} ||= $sheet->{MinRow}; $sheet->{MaxCol} ||= $sheet->{MinCol}; for my $row ($sheet->{MinRow} .. $sheet->{MaxRow}) { for my $col ($sheet->{MinCol} .. $sheet->{MaxCol}) { my $cell = $sheet->{Cells}[$row][$col] ; if ($cell){ $worksheet->write( $row, $col, $cell->{Val} ); } } } } }

    Please stop using Spreadsheet::XLSX and move on to active support in Spreadsheet::ParseXLSX. The first is buggy and considered dead. No active maint. The latter is reliable and actively maintained.

    Hello machirajun,

    Welcome to the Monastery. It was a few days ago a recent question was asked and I wrote a script for it. Take a look here Re: Merging 2 xlsx files (UPDATED), maybe this shouts your needs, since is able to handle multiple sheets and multiple documents.

    Hope this helps, BR.

    It maybe that your spreadsheets have cells with spaces in which are overwriting earlier spreadsheets. Run this to check

    #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use Spreadsheet::ParseXLSX; my $target = 'Target.xlsx'; my @file_list = glob "*xlsx"; my @target=(); for my $file (@file_list){ next if ($file eq $target); print "Scaning $file\n"; my $parser = Spreadsheet::ParseXLSX->new(); my $excel = $parser->parse($file); for my $sheet ( $excel->worksheets ) { my $name = $file ."_".$sheet->get_name; my ( $row_min, $row_max ) = $sheet->row_range(); my ( $col_min, $col_max ) = $sheet->col_range(); for my $row ( $row_min .. $row_max ) { for my $col ( $col_min .. $col_max ) { my $cell = $sheet->get_cell($row,$col) ; if ( $cell ){ my $val = $cell->value; if ($val =~ /\S/){ if ($target[$row][$col]){ print "WARN: Overwriting row: $row col: $col val: '$val' +\n"; } else { $target[$row][$col] = $val; } } else { print "INFO: Skipped blank $name row: $row col: $col value +: '$val'\n"; } } } } } }

      Don't bother. This is a case of "i don't understand or bother to read the answers i got and so post the same again". Such people are not worth your tie.
