Frequently asked questions
Merge Cells is an add-in for Microsoft Excel, which combines values in columns, cells and rows. If you need to get one cell out of several ones, merge columns row by row or rows column by column, Merge Cells utility is the best assistant of you.
No, it doesn't. If you merge cells with the help of the build-in Excel button, you will keep only the upper-left value, other values will be removed. Merge Cells saves all your data and allows to decide, whether to combine values into one selected cell or merge all areas in the selection.
You start the add-in, select your range and choose what to merge: columns, cells, or rows. Then you indicate a separator for the combined values, it can be space, comma, semicolon, line break, or any separator of your choice. You determine the place where to put the result. You can also choose to clear the contents of the selected cells, merge all areas in the selection, skip empty cells, and wrap text. Then you click Merge and the result is ready in a few seconds.

Ablebits is worth the money
I’ve been using Ablebits personally for over a decade. I've upgraded to newer versions when needed because the Excel add-on is great. I use it almost daily to save time. It has so many use cases. If you use Excel, it is a must. Great cost for such a fantastic tool.
Great find!
I’ve been using Ablebits for over 3 years, and it has become an essential tool for expediting my workflow. The software is extremely reliable, user-friendly, and packed with features that save me hours in Excel. Tasks that once took me forever—like merging sheets and columns, cleaning data, and removing duplicates—are now done in just a few clicks. Highly recommend!
A huge time-saver
I’ve used different versions of this add-in for close to a decade. It is one of the greatest time-saving tools for data wrangling I’ve gotten and I highly recommend it. Especially if you’re looking to do more with Excel but don’t want to be memorizing formulas. It works with a series if “Wizards” or guides How-Tos.
Ablebits customer care Excels
I presented the Ablebits Customer Care Team with an Excel data-column extraction challenge that I lacked the experience or tools to perform. The timeliness of the Team's response, their understanding of the nature of the extraction requested, the expertise conveyed via email, the technical tools, and the supplied demonstration video were most professional. I'm wowed!
Hard to live without this addon, a must
Been using this for a year now. Simplifies soooo many annoying tasks in Excel. The icons make it readable and easy to find what tool you're looking for. This has been by far the best enhancement for my productivity with Excel for my job.
5 star customer service
I've been using the Ablebits Excel add-on for years and every time I need to install my PC, I tend to need a refreshed activation key and every time, the guys at Ablebits help me instantly without any fuss. Excellent product and Excellent customer support.
Ablebits provides great support - even years after purchase
Ablebits is a great tool that I have been using for nearly eight years. It quit responding recently and I contacted Support for help. They responded the next day with a solution along with assistance on the install. Great, responsive customer support!
Highly recommended!
I highly recommend Ablebits for anyone who works with multiple spreadsheets, build reports, does integrations, or needs to transform data quickly. It's an awesome product, and the company is also super helpful and responsive.
Cannot work without Ablebits
We mainly use the merge-table wizard to move data between Excel files. Very easy to use and extremely fast even with huge spreadsheets. I don't know how anyone can be without it. We rarely need help from them, but when we do they answer immediately. Strongly recommended!!
Best Excel Addin
This is by far one of the most useful addins/piece of software I have ever purchased. It solves a ton of excel issues easily. I can't recommend it enough. I have used it weekly for over 5 years. Additionally, support is very helpful.
Ablebits: 5* for quality, 5* for function, 5* for support
Ablebits is one of the best timesavers in my toolbox. I fully believe that I gain >50% efficiency time wise and experience a dramatic increase in accuracy. I just received wonderful and timely tech support from the support team. Fast response. Accurate. To the point. 5* for quality, 5* for function, 5* for support. Thank you Ablebits team!
I can’t tell you how much I use and appreciate Ablebits
I can’t tell you how much I use and appreciate Ablebits. The Merge Tables function is worth it alone, but I’m still discovering new fun things this add-in can do. It’s hands down the best program I’ve used to enhance data analysis and curation.
Since I found Ultimate Suite, I have been able to actually enjoy my data days
I am the lucky person in our office to manipulate data in Excel. I used to dread it and take days to complete. Since I found Ablebits Ultimate Suite for Excel, I can be the office star and have been able to actually enjoy my data days. This product saves me frustration and time. Excellent support, great documentation and it is easy to work through. Highly recommended!
My experience with Ablebits has been nothing short of outstanding
Overall, my experience with Ablebits has been nothing short of outstanding. Not only does their software deliver on its promises, but their commitment to customer satisfaction truly sets them apart. I highly recommend Ablebits to anyone in need of reliable and feature-rich software, backed by unparalleled support.
These should all come standard with Excel
It boggles my mind that it took a third party to add these tools to Excel. Used Ablebits throughout its trial whenever i was hitting pain points in Excel, and it invariably made life easier and streamlined my work. I can genuinely say it's saving me at least 3 to 4 hours a week.
All in all, if you work in Excel daily like me and there's no hope of your business moving away from it, Ablebits will make your life infinitely easier and it's definitely worth the money.
I've been with Ablebits since 2018
I've been with Ablebits since 4/2018. Numerous updates and new installs. No complainants at all. They are very responsive and always very professional. The software is the best Excel add-in that I've tried. If you try their Software, and need help, email them and they'll respond to help. If you've tried other Excel add-ins and felt letdown, give Ablebits a try! You'll love the software and technical support if you need it.
Excellent customer service!
I took advantage of the trial period for the full program, and I put Ablebits through everything I wanted to achieve. Wow! It worked so beautifully. When I was ready to purchase, I ran into an obstacle. It was a Saturday morning (in my country). I wrote to their customer service and within a few hours I had Excellent communication as to how to resolve my issue. Reinstalled with no problems. I am so happy with my decision.
I love Ablebits because it turns a 5-hour project into 5 minutes
I love Ablebits because with the easy download (takes less than 1 minute), I have access to so many tools in Excel. I work in sales, so being able to compare tables and find duplicates is a lifesaver. I would recommend this to anyone who works with lists.
Quick response to my issue
I am a noob when it comes to using Excel. However, I started a part-time job this month with a company that uses it exclusively for their reports and general communications, so I have undertaken a crash course in learning this program. I came across the Ablebits app and gave it a test run. THANK GOODNESS I DID! I know there are many more things I am to learn but this app has given me the confidence that I will be able to keep up with the rest of the team. Not an easy task for a 68-year-old man trying to stay relevant with this younger generation.
Well worth every dollar
I've used several add-ins over my many decades of using Excel. I must say that Ablebits has given me the biggest bank for my bucks. The ability to easily parse data from other sources is worth the price of admission alone. Well worth every dollar.
