February 2025 – Release notes

Combine Sheets v1.8

Your favorite data-combining tool just got even better with powerful new features and enhancements that will improve your workflow!

Tip. Install the latest version of Combine Sheets from the Google Workspace Marketplace to experience all new features first-hand.

Sort your result

Take more control of your combined data with a new sorting option:
Set up sorting of your results by multiple columns.

Whether you combine with or without a formula, you can now sort the result by any number of columns in ascending (A>Z) or descending (Z>A) order:
See the combined result sorted by the selected columns in the required order.

Save time with scenarios

Avoid repetitive setup steps with the new Scenarios feature:
Save settings into a scenario.

Save your preferred options as a scenario and give it a name:
Preview scenario before saving.

Run it whenever you need straight from the Google Sheets menu to combine data in the same way:
Run your saved scenario from the Extensions menu.

Tip. Learn how to work with scenarios in this tutorial.

Share scenarios

You can now easily share your saved scenarios with teammates, across your Google accounts, or just make backups. Export individual scenarios or all of them at once:
Export and share Combine Sheets scenarios.

The add-on will save the scenarios as a file on your computer. You can share them with other people by email or uploading to a shared Drive.

Have a scenario file from a teammate? Quickly import it into the add-on to start using preconfigured settings:
Import shared scenarios to Combine Sheets.

All sets of options will be added to your add-on so you could focus on combining data rather than recreating setups:
Find imported scenarios in the Extensions menu.

New home for your resulting files

Gone are the days when Combine Sheets placed your resulting spreadsheet in the root of your Drive automatically. Now, you can browse your Drive to select a specific folder for the output:
Browse Drive to place the result.

Your data will be saved exactly where it belongs right away, keeping your workspace neat and organized:
Find the combined result in your selected folder on Drive.

Better work with missing columns

Sheets missing the required columns are no longer ignored in formula-based combinations. Instead, these sheets are included in the result, ready to display data as soon as the missing columns appear.

Tip. If the sheet is completely empty, and you expect to have the data in them later, you have to add at least a header row for the formula to be able to take the sheet in the result.

Combine more sheets without hitting limits

The formula now accommodates even more sheets! We've optimized it to reduce the likelihood of hitting the 50k character limit for formulas.

Smoother experience

Minor UX improvements make your work with Combine Sheets even more intuitive and similar to navigating Google Drive.
