That will work just fine, provided there is no data overlap. --
otherwise you'll have duplicate records, and you'll have to delete
them by hand after sorting.

If the various original Excel sheets don't have identical columns,
you'll also have to cut & paste various selections to get them all
lined up with each other (or arrange the column order manually before
you cut& paste).  Either way, sounds simple enough given your data.
