Follow this example:

file = "test.xlsx"; % replace your file name
names = sheetnames(file);

data = table;
for i = 1:numel(names)
    data.(names(i)) = readmatrix(file, 'Sheet', names(i));
end

writetable(data, 'merged.xlsx')

Note it works for your case: one numeric column per each data sheet.

Are you sure you type the correct function name? it's sheetnames. Aslo what version of MATLAB do you use? sheetnames was introduced in R2019b. In case your MATLAB is older, you can use actxserver :

exl = actxserver('excel.application');
exlWkbk = exl.Workbooks;
exlFile = exlWkbk.Open(fullfile(pwd,'test.xlsx'));
nSheets = exlFile.Sheets.Count;
names = strings(nSheets, 1);
for i = 1:nSheets
    names(i) = exlFile.Sheets.Item(i).Name; % sheet names
end

Quit(exl)
delete(exl)
