I am new to this list and I hope this is the right place for the following problem:

Very probably!

I have several Excel files, each containing 1 sheet. I would like to combine them to 1 spreadsheet document where each file should be converted to a sheet in the new document. All original files are in 1 folder so my idea is to do some kind of batch import but I have no idea how to do that.

I don't know any batch facility. Unless you have too many files, try one of these:

o  Open your first document in Calc.
For each subsequent document:
o  Select a sheet adjacent to where you want the next one to appear.
o  Go to Insert | Sheet From File... .
o  Browse to the next document file.
o  Select Before or After current sheet under Position.
o Under Sheet | From file, select the sheet(s) of the new document that you wish to insert. (You can select multiple sheets using Ctrl+click.)
o  Press OK.

Alternatively:
o  Open your first document in Calc.
For each subsequent document:
o  Open the document in Calc.
o  Select the sheet you wish to copy.
o  Go to Edit | Sheet > | Move/Copy... .
o  Under "To document", select your main document.
o  Under "Insert before", select your desired position for the insertion.
o  Ensure that Copy (at the bottom of the panel) is ticked.
o  Press OK.

I trust this helps.
