Stop struggling with scattered spreadsheets. This free desktop tool combines all your Excel, CSV, TXT, and vCard files into one organized database, remembers where each row came from, and finds duplicate entries for you.
β¬οΈ Download Nowdatabase-manager is a simple desktop program for Windows. It lets you merge many files into one master Excel file. This is especially useful if you work with contact lists, product catalogs, or student records.
Think of it like a blender for your spreadsheets β you put in multiple files, and it creates one smooth, clean database. The magic is that the app adds a column to every row showing which file it originally came from. No more confusion about data sources!
After downloading, double-click the file just like any other Windows program. If you see a blue or yellow prompt saying "Windows protected your PC," click on "More info" and then "Run anyway". This is normal for new apps from the internet.
The program window will open. You don't need to install anything else β it works standalone.
The app asks where to save the merged Excel (.xlsx) file. Pick a location and name it something like "All_Contacts_2025.xlsx". That's it!
π‘ Tip: Before merging, make sure all your CSV/TXT files have the same column order (e.g., Name, Phone, Email). The app will match headers automatically if possible, but consistent columns save you from later formatting chores.

Even if you have a very specific structure, the app respects your existing headers.
No. The file is a standalone Windows executable (.exe). It includes everything needed.
No. Everything runs on your computer. Your files never leave your machine.
Yes. The app handles missing values gracefully lefting empty cells empty or you can fill them later in Excel.
The app checks rows for duplicate values in the first column (or a key column you select). Duplicates get a distinct color and you can optionally delete duplicates with one click.
The output file is .xlsx format, which works in Excel 2010 and newer, including Office 365, LibreOffice, and Google Sheets.
Any modern Windows computer (Windows 8/10/11). At least 2 GB of RAM and about 50 MB of free disk space for the app itself. Works fine on older machines too.
