    Batch Data Import to Google Sheets

    Hi,

    Thank you very much for taking out time and trying to help me out. Here is what I am stuck with :

    1. I have a list of around 4000 companies
    2. Each of those companies have three financial statements (two of them enclosed for reference)
    3. Therefore I have around 12000 sheets to work with
    4. Each of these sheets update every 3 months, but only the data changes. Headings and Column 1 does not change. Nor does the number of fields.
    5. I need to upload these to Google Sheets every 3 months.
    6. Another master Google Sheet references data from these 12000 sheets.
    7. Therefore, the cell data can change, but not the references.

    Here is what I have figured out :


    1. Manually upload each of these 12000 sheets to Google sheets using the Import option.
    2. Every 3 months, repeat the action using the "replace sheet"option. This leaves the sheet URL unchanged, which is required for referencing data on another Master sheet using the IMPORTRANGE function.
    This is a tedious process.

    Is there any way I could

    1. merge 3 sheets for the same company in a batch operation so that I need to upload only 4000 times ? OR
    2. Auto import the data if I replace the existing files in my hard drive with the newly downloaded files ? The filenames will be exactly the same.

    The whole idea is to automate this tedious process to the largest extent possible. Request your suggestions and advice please.

    P.S. I am a basic excel user and have no coding knowledge.

    best,
    Somnath.
