How does it cope with people like you - who have no plausible name?

Er, is that seven columns and many rows?

So you are going to keep everyone in the dark about exactly what you've tried?

No, of course not.

o Open both spreadsheets.
o Select the required material in one spreadsheet.
o Copy it and paste it into the other.

Or:
o Open one spreadsheet.
o Go to Insert | Sheet from File... .
o Select the required sheet and where to insert it.
o If required, copy material from the new sheet to existing sheets.

The merge and compare facilities are intended to deal with 
differently modified versions of the same file, which is not what you 
have here.

I trust this helps.
